Introduction |
If your Xserve 2,1 is showing an error in Raid Utility about the backup battery, this guide will show you how to replace the raid battery in the system. | | The raid battery serves as a way to write cached data to the system drives if there is a power failure. This ability is important in systems with raid, as it protects the user from data loss. | | If the raid battery has recently been replaced, insure that the system has been powered on for a minimum of 72 hours, and battery conditioning has finished. | | Before using this guide, insure that you have a grounded working surface and anti-static wristband. Static electricity may cause damage to the internal components of the system. | | Always dispose of the battery according to local laws and regulations, and if the battery has become swollen make sure not to damage the enclosure. |
