<br>
the battery->dimm cable is pretty long, so I could wedge it somewhere in the case, but that seems like the wrong solution (esp. knowing how temperamental the airflow in some servers is)<br><font color="#888888">

Subject: [Cialug] perc 6/e battery placement<br>
<br>
I've got a perc 6/e card like here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://public.support.unisys.com/pcproducts/esx/docs/DellDocs5.4/en/Perc6i_6e/chapterd.htm#wp1063488" target="_blank">http://public.support.unisys.com/pcproducts/esx/docs/DellDocs5.4/en/Perc6i_6e/chapterd.htm#wp1063488</a><br>
<br>
<br>
but the plastic placeholder for the BBU won't fit over the battery - so<br>
where does the battery go? it could balance if it was vertical, but<br>
since it's laying down, and the battery is on the bottom, it would fall<br>
through. the battery is the exact same size as the plastic bit, but has<br>
no clips, so what attaches the battery to the dimm?<br>
<br>
did dell send the wrong stuff? (I know, that'd be a first)<br>
<br>
<br>
pics for clarity:<br>
