DELL MD3220 RAID Battery Replacement

Hello Peeceenoob,

I would replace both.  You can review a support bundle from your system and look at the battery age of the other battery to see if it is going to need to be replaced soon or not.  Here is a link to the users guide for replacing the battery.  https://dell.to/3y93rvs

I would make sure that you move all virtual disk to alt controller before you power off the controller to replace the battery.

Thanks for the reply Sam L. 

So are you saying that I should do the batteries one at a time? 

1. Make sure all disk are moved to other controller (need to research that too) 

2. Replace battery

3. Move all disks back to controller with new battery

4. Replace 2nd battery

5. Drink a beer

Would you say that these are the correct steps? 

Thanks

Hello Peeceenoob,

That is correct that you want to replace the batteries one at a time.  The steps that you have listed are correct. Here is a link to the administrator guide just in case you need it. https://dell.to/3ndIER6
