Replacing the battery on a Dell Perc 710 RAID controller is a relatively simple procedure that can be completed in a few minutes. A dead or dying battery can cause the RAID controller to lose its configuration data, which can result in data loss. Therefore, it is important to replace the battery as soon as possible if it fails.
The Dell Perc 710 RAID controller uses a CR2032 coin cell battery. To replace the battery, you will need a small Phillips head screwdriver. The battery is located on the front of the RAID controller, next to the power connector. To remove the battery, simply unscrew the screw that holds it in place and then pull the battery out of its socket. To install the new battery, simply insert it into the socket and then screw in the screw to hold it in place.
