Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller 6E: Installing the TBBU on a PERC x/E Adapter

Installing the TBBU on a PERC x/E Adapter

This section describes the procedure to install the memory module on a PERC

x

/E Adapter.

CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system

cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before performing any

procedure, see your Product Information Guide for complete information about

safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against

electrostatic discharge.

NOTE: The TBBU on the PERC x/E Adapter consists of a dual in-line memory

module (DIMM) and a battery backup unit (BBU).

1

Remove the memory module in an antistatic environment.

NOTE: When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping

carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material

until you are ready to install the component. Just before unwrapping the

antistatic package, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

NOTE: Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible,

use antistatic floor pads and work bench pads.

NOTE: Never touch the gold leads and do not bend the memory module.

2

Align the memory module so that the keyed edge of the memory module is

placed exactly on top of the physical divider on the memory socket of the

controller. This will avoid damage to the memory module.

3

Insert the memory module on the memory socket of the controller and

apply a smooth, downward pressure on both ends or on the middle of the

memory module until the retention clips fall into the allotted slots on

either side of the memory module. Figure 4 displays the installation of

a memory module on a PERC

x

/E Adapter.
