Follow the troubleshooting procedures in this manual.
Verify that the battery is the problem. Temporarily connect a new battery. Remove the old battery from the processor. Install the new battery in the processor.
If the new battery resolves the problem, reconnect the old battery. Verify that the problem returns. If the problem returns, replace the old battery.
Note: The 5/04 processors have a capacitor. Thirty minutes of backup power is provided by the capacitor. This functions while the battery is disconnected. Data in the RAM is not lost during the thirty minutes.
Replacing a Battery
- Disconnect the power supply.
- Press the retaining clips at the top of the processor and press the retaining clips at the bottom of the processor.
| NOTICE |
|---|
To avoid damage to electronic components, do not remove the processor from the SLC 541 Chassis until all power is removed from the power supply. Do not expose memory modules to surfaces or areas that may typically hold an electrostatic charge. |
- Remove the processor from the chassis.
- Connect the new battery to the connector that is on the processor.
| NOTICE |
|---|
To avoid potential damage to the processor, handle all modules by the ends of the carrier or edges of the plastic housing. Skin oil or dirt can corrode metallic surfaces, inhibiting electrical contact. |
- Align the processor and the guides in the chassis.
- Gently slide the processor in the chassis. Secure the top retainer clips and secure the bottom retainer clips.
- Install a wire tie in order to secure the wiring.
- Cover any unused slots. This protects the chassis.
