How to install HPE DL325 Gen10 Plus Megacell Battery Fan Kit

Before starting the installation, prepare a clean, static-free workspace and have the appropriate ESD protection, basic hand tools, and the server maintenance manual on hand. Ensure the server is powered down, unplugged, and allowed to discharge any residual energy. If your facility uses redundant power and hot-swappable configurations, follow your data center’s standard procedures for power-down and safety checks. This kit is designed to be installed by qualified IT staff or technicians familiar with HPE hardware and the DL325 Gen10 Plus enclosure.

• Power down the server and disconnect all power sources; remove the chassis cover according to the DL325 Gen10 Plus service guide, taking care to preserve airflow paths and cable management.
• Ground yourself and locate the Megacell battery and cooling fan bay within the server chassis; consult the service manual for the exact mounting position and connector layouts.
• Disengage any existing battery or cooling components that the kit is replacing, labeling connectors if necessary to ensure proper reassembly.
• Attach the Megacell Battery Fan Kit mounting brackets to the chassis using the supplied screws, ensuring alignment with mounting holes and secure seating to prevent vibration during operation.
• Connect all cables to the corresponding system board or interconnect headers as specified in the installation instructions; verify that connectors are fully seated and routed to avoid interference with fans or airflow.
• Secure the battery and fan assembly in place, reassemble the chassis cover, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the BIOS/UEFI or system management interface to verify that the kit is detected and recognized as part of the server’s health monitoring suite; run a diagnostics or health check to confirm proper operation and cooling performance.
