Hey all, my server has complained for a looooong time about the raid/cache battery being bad, however today I restarted, and that was it, I have no post, no video, keyboard becomes unresponsive for capslock and numlock after a short while, though it is fully running, all the fans are going and the hard drives are spinning up.
I **bleep** the cache battery out, and checked the voltage, 1.2 volts, I am guessing it perhaps dropped below the minimum voltage it could function with.
I am hoping that is the issue, anyways I am going to get a replacement, but I have two questions.
1: Do i need to get the cache module as well? I am wodnering if it maybe had some volatile ram or something that could go bad from lack of power? Looking at the module when turned on it had an orange light and a green light (the green being the one closer to the rear of the server), more info on that would be nice
2: Will my raid configuration be ruined? I have two raids set up with the hard drives, it's no big loss if I have to reinstall, but I would lose a few things.
