Greetings, first post and a newbie at servers. I'm refurbing a Dell PowerEdge R710 (Gen11) server.
It's either a 5503 or 5504 (Have found specs that point to both #'s) (2Ghz)
It has PERC6/I and PERC6/E (Powervault MD1000).
All firmware and drivers are up to date.
I had to install new batteries for both PERC's. There was the initial charging period and then they both show up charged and fine in OpenManage.
Since I'm refurbing, I power down at night. When I boot the next morning the batteries say charging. They charge for a bit then show OK.
This happens every night since 11/26.
It this normal and does the server have to run all the time or is this an issue with the (less expensive) ebay batteries? Shouldn't a charged battery hold a charge overnight?
Does it on both PERCS.
Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
