Insert the New Battery
1. Attach the new battery unit to the connector, and gently wiggle and push the connector in place to seat it.
You do not need to depress the retention clip to insert the connector. When the connector is fully seated, you
should hear the retention clip 'click' into place.
2. Place the new battery unit in the chassis by reversing the procedure from step 5 for removing the battery.
You might need to slightly reposition the cable inside the control module to get it out of the way and ensure
easy reassembly. Make sure that the cable is not pinched between the battery cover and the control module
chassis.
3. Reinsert the screw and tighten gently.
4. Reinsert the control module and reconnect the cables.
Return or Dispose of the Old Battery
The manner in which to dispose of rechargeable batteries varies by country. Make sure that you dispose of your
old battery in a way that conforms to your country's regulations. Alternately, you can return the old battery back
to Dell for proper disposal. See

In addition to connecting all the Ethernet ports (of the same type) on both control modules to network switches,
you can also optionally connect the Management port to a separate network switch.
Configuring a management port enables you to separate management traffic (creating and managing the group,
members, volumes, replication, and so on) from the iSCSI data traffic (I/O between applications and volumes,
and between replication partners).
Configuring the Management Port
Configuring the 10/100Mbps management port involves hardware steps and software steps. The management
port is restricted to group management traffic only; it will not carry iSCSI I/O.
Configuring this port is considered an advanced configuration, available if your environment requires this level of
security.
Hardware Steps
1. Make sure your network environment can support a dedicated management network, with a subnet that is
separate from the subnets for iSCSI traffic.
2. On both control modules, connect the port labeled MANAGEMENT to the management network. The
location of the management port is shown in .
