Server Module Maintenance Procedures and Information
The energy storage modules (ESMs) supply power to the flash modules (FMods). When power is applied to the server, the voltage causes the ESMs to charge to capacity. The ESMs maintain this charge until the server is removed from the chassis (power source). When the server is removed, the ESMs slowly lose their charge.
A Charge Status LED on the motherboard indicates the status of the charge. When the LED is on, the ESM is charged. When the LED is off, the ESMs are not charged. If the LED is on, it is not safe to remove or install the FMods or the ESMs.
Note - This component is a customer-replaceable unit (FRU).
