[Cialug] SOLVED: perc 6/e battery placement

[Barry Von Ahsen]

first, my bad, it was a PERC H700, but the battery issue remained, esp. 
since dell sent the manual for a 5/i / 6/i (hence my confusion).

in this particular server (poweredge R410), there's a little compartment 
behind the drive bays next to the fans.  then the cable snakes along 
with the SATA cables
