Installing the FBWC module and capacitor pack
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be
powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system
does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.
To install the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 16).
2. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
3. Do one of the following:
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 16).
o Remove the server from the rack (on page 17).
4. Remove the access panel (on page 18).
5. Remove the PCI riser cage (on page 19).
CAUTION: When connecting or disconnecting the capacitor pack cable, the connectors on the
cache module and cable are susceptible to damage. Avoid excessive force and use caution to
avoid damage to these connectors.
