How to replace a Lithium Battery in a X6250 Server Module

Note: Always refer to the X6250 Server Module Service Manual 820-1185-XX at E19045-01/blade.x6250for the latest updated procedures and ESD protection standards.

Caution: When removing a server module, install a slot filler within one minute to avoid adjacent modules from overheating.

Tools

• Antistatic wrist strap
• Stylus

Assumptions

• The server blade OS has been shut down, the module has been powered off, and the server module is lying on an anti-static mat.

Replacement Steps

    1. Remove the top cover of the server module.

a ) Press down on the cover release button and, using the indent for leverage, slide the main cover toward the rear of the server module approximately 0.5 inches (12mm).

b) Grasp the cover by it's rear edge and lift it straight up from the module.

    2. Remove the REM. (if equipped)

a) Disengage the REM connector from the motherboard by pulling up on the connector side of the module.

b) Once the connector is free pull the REM away from the motherboard support bracket at an upward angle.

c) Now that the REM has been removed the lithium battery should be visible as it resides underneath the REM.

    3. Remove the server module battery.

Note: Note the orientation (polarity) of the battery in its holder before removing it.  The positive polarity, marked with a "+" symbol, should be facing up.

a) Use a flat head tool or stylus to pry one side of the circular battery out of its socket.

b) Lift the battery up and out of its socket.

    4. Install the replacement server module battery.

a) Place the battery in the open socket, with the positive polarity facing up.

b)  Push the battery down until it snaps into the socket.

    5. Install the replacement REM. (if equipped)

a) Turn the REM over so that its circuit side faces the motherboard and the REM connector is on the same side as its motherboard connector.

b) Angle the back end of the REM into the support bracket.

c) Press the REM connector to the motherboard connector carefully.

d) Push down on the connector until the connector is fully engaged.
