The battery hardware is missing or malfunctioning - R2308WTTYS

[Polle]

Quick question on this subject, is there battery hardware in the unit? I cannot find much on this issue. only a few Dell forums but this is an intel server. It has been restarting anywhere from 1-5 times a day and when I can catch it the windows errors are always different (example: KMODE_EXECPTION_NOT_HANDLED, KERNEL_SERCURITY_CHECK_FAILURE, BAD_POOL_HEADER)

when it starts back up it has a bios like screen that says "The battery hardware is missing or malfunctioning, or the battery is unplugged, or the battery could be fully discharged. if you continue to boot the system the battery backed up cache will not function. if the battery has been allowed to charge for 30 minutes and this message continues to appear, then contact technical support for assistance. - Press "D" to disable this warning (if your controller does not have a battery)

just wanting to make sure mine does, since I am having trouble figuring that out.

I have another post here and its a similar problem, I was told to plug the server directly into the wall due to a non natural sine wave. If you see this Jose, this is not the same server but its the exact same model. I have tried this(plugging it directly into the wall) approach and it didn't take but 2minutes of being logged in before it crashed and restarted again.

Thanks for the help guys!

Hello Polle,

We are following your thread and we were wondering if you was able to gather the ALI logs(RAID Logs) in order to determine if your system is searching automatically for the battery.

We will be looking forward to your reply.

Hello Polle,

We are following your issue with the Intel® Server System R2308WTTYS and we would like to know if you were able to gather the ALI logs(RAID Logs) in order to determine if your system is searching automatically for the battery.

Additionally, as we mentioned on our previous thread, based on our findings it seems that the problem is related with the operating system and not with the BBU, therefore, we do recommend contacting the operating system for further assistance.

We will be looking forward for your updates.

Best regards,
