Installation and Configuration Guide
The Installation and Configuration Guide for the 46C9040 IBM Li-Ion SAS/SATA Controller Battery ServeRAID MR10M is a set of instructions that explains how to properly install and configure the battery for use with the ServeRAID MR10M controller. The guide includes steps for unpacking, identifying, and installing the battery, as well as configuring the battery settings and monitoring its status.
The first step in the installation process is to carefully unpack the battery and ensure that it is not damaged. Next, the guide instructs the user to locate the battery connector on the ServeRAID MR10M controller, which is where the battery will be connected. The user then inserts the battery into the connector, making sure to align the pins correctly. The guide may also mention to secure the battery in place with a locking mechanism if provided.
After the battery is installed, the user is instructed to turn on the ServeRAID MR10M controller. The controller should detect the battery and initialize it. The user can then use the ServeRAID MR10M controller software to configure the battery settings, such as the charging threshold and discharge rate. The guide also explains how to monitor the battery status, including its charge level and remaining life, using the controller software.
It’s important to follow the safety precautions and guidelines provided by IBM, register the battery with IBM to activate the warranty, and check for and install any firmware updates. The guide also advises on regular check on the battery status and replacement when needed.
Compatibility and System Requirements
The 46C9040 IBM Li-Ion SAS/SATA Controller Battery ServeRAID MR10M is compatible with IBM System x and BladeCenter servers that use the ServeRAID MR10M controller. This includes specific models such as the IBM System x3550 M4, x3650 M4, and x3850 X6. It’s also compatible with BladeCenter H, HS23 and HS23E servers.
In terms of system requirements, the battery requires a minimum of 12V DC power and should be used in an environment with a temperature range of 10 to 35 degrees Celsius (50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit). It’s also recommended to have a power supply unit with at least 1000 W for the server for optimal performance.
It’s important to check the compatibility and system requirements before installing the battery to ensure that it will function properly and safely within the specific system.
Additionally, it’s important to note that this battery is not compatible with any other ServeRAID controller or any other brand of server, and should only be used with the specific systems and controllers it is designed to work with.
Battery Maintenance
Battery maintenance is an important aspect of ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of the 46C9040 IBM Li-Ion SAS/SATA Controller Battery ServeRAID MR10M. Here are a few guidelines for maintaining the battery:
- Charge the battery before use: Before installing the battery, it’s recommended to charge it to a full capacity.
- Monitor battery status: Use the ServeRAID MR10M controller software to monitor the battery status, including its charge level and remaining life. Regularly check the battery status, and replace the battery if necessary.
