the battery. This might take a few minutes, after which the startup process
continues. This is a one-time occurrence.
Important: You must allow the initialization process to be completed. If you do
not, the battery pack will not work, and the server might not start.
The battery comes partially charged, at 30% or less of capacity. Run the server
for 4 to 6 hours to fully charge the controller battery. The LED just above the
battery on the controller remains lit until the battery is fully charged.
Until the battery is fully charged, the controller firmware sets the controller
cache to write-through mode; after the battery is fully charged, the controller
firmware re-enables write-back mode.
2. When you restart the server, you are given the opportunity to import the
existing RAID configuration to the new ServeRAID SAS controller.
