CAUTION: Disconnecting the RAID battery cable from the storage-card connector, and continue to pull the card up to remove it from a PERC card can cause data loss if the "dirty cache" LED on the card is still cached in controller memory and the data was not cleared at system shutdown. 6 If applicable and necessary, disconnect the RAID battery cable from the card. b Grasp the storage card by its edge, carefully pull the card up and out of the card guides. See Figure 3-17. Installing System Components 113 See Figure 3-17. The LED indicates that data is lit.
