Re: BBWC replacment - HOT?

Regardless if it works or not, it remains unsupported ...

Hope this helps!

Re: BBWC replacment - HOT?

if the battery is already dead and needs replaced, what would the negative affects be?

Well, technically, it could work, but in the process you can damage a server, so if you a spare server where you can practice, go ahead and let us know :) but wouldnt do it, really

Re: BBWC replacment - HOT?

The user guide for the Smart Array P400 Controller specifically warns against replacing the battery pack while the server is powered up:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00572169/c00572169.pdf (see page 21)

The battery cable connector is not designed for hot swap; so there is a risk of electrical short and permanent hardware damage.

Too bad - with the BBWC already disabled there seemed little risk of data loss. But once you let the magic blue smoke out ...
If this works ... I'll be famous!
