How to Replace a VNX1 or VNX2 DPE Battery Backup Unit

This Dell EMC Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) Video demonstrates Battery Backup Unit Replacement for a VNX1 or VNX2.

In this video, we will be replacing a battery backup unit in a disk processor enclosure of the next generation VNX series. After you’ve identified the faulted BBU in this case the faulted BBU is on the A side you remove the faulted BBU from the base module.

While grasping the BBU’s handle push the supply’s orange release tab to the right. Pull the BBU from the base module and place it on a clean, static-free surface.

To install the replacement BBU hold the BBU with the white label up align the BBU with the slot in the base assembly and push the BBU into the slot until it clicks in place.
