Replacing an Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-2 Battery

Removing the battery is a cold-service operation. You must power off the appliance before you remove the battery. There will be a loss of access to the storage unless the system is in a clustered configuration.

You might need to replace the battery if the storage controller fails to maintain the proper time when powered off and disconnected from the network. You will need a small (No. 1 flat-blade) non-metallic screwdriver or equivalent. Use the following procedure to replace an Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-2 battery.

  1. Power off the storage controller as described in Powering Off the Controller.
  2. Extend the controller from the rack as described in Extending the Controller from the Rack.
  3. Remove the top cover as described in Removing the Controller Top Cover.
