Always discharge the unitfirst to avoid damage to the controller or flash backup module. The factory ships with discharged units,so they are safe to install when you receive them. To ensure that an installed unit is discharged, switchyour system OFF, then wait 5 minutes. After a dirty shutdown, wait 3 minutes after backup is complete,then remove the unit.To install an Adaptec RAID controller with zero maintenance cache protection:1.
