[Cialug] perc 6/e battery placement

[Josh More]

If it's long enough, you could remove a PCI slot plate and keep the battery outside of the server.  Then airflow is much less of a concern.

I'm hoping not to have to MacGuyver something up :)

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)
