Attention: For storage subsystems with only one controller installed: To prevent data loss, you must shut down the system before you replace the battery. For the correct shutdown sequence, refer to the Hardware Installation and User's Guide. 1. Read the safety information beginning on page iii and "Installation guidelines" on page 35. 2. Label each cable that is connected to the RAID controller so that you can correctly reconnect it to the RAID controller after you replace the battery. 3. For storage subsystems with only one controller installed: Stop the host I/O data to the storage subsystem; then, turn off the power-supply switches on the rear of the storage subsystem. 4. For storage subsystems with two controllers installed: Move the I/O data to the alternate controller: a. Open a Telnet session and connect to the alternate controller management port IP address. b. At the command prompt, enter admin. c. Enter the administrator password. d. Enter controller peer disable. The controller that you are removing will shut down and all I/O data will have moved to the alternate controller. 5. Remove the Ethernet cables from the RAID controller. 6. For a Fibre Channel RAID controller only: Remove the fiber-optic cables and the SFP modules from the RAID controller. For more information, refer to the ″Hardware Installation and User's Guide″. Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling static-sensitive devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 35 7. Remove the RAID controller that contains the battery that you want to replace: a. While squeezing together the latch and lever that are on each side of the controller, press down on the orange area on each latch. The controller will slide out of the bay a short distance.
