Introduction
Applicable to product: SX170145-04 –HNAS Server Battery NiMH 7.2V 9Ah
Spare part: SX325097 –FRU HNAS Server Battery Module
This is a Nickel Metal Hydride battery.
Overview
The battery is used in the following models of HDS server:
HNAS 3080
HNAS 3090
HNAS 4040
HNAS 4060
HNAS 4080
HNAS 4100
The battery is constructed of 12 Nickel Metal Hydride cells. It is assembled into
a metal case with connector which mates with the server.

2Battery Safety
HNAS Battery Safety Manual
Hazard identification
For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed
metal case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered
during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no physical danger
of ignition or explosion or chemical danger of hazardous materials' leakage.
However, if exposed to a fire, mechanical shock, decomposed, added electric
stress by misuse, the gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case
will be breached at the extreme. Hazardous materials may be released.
Moreover, if heated strongly by fire, acrid or harmful fumes may be emitted.
Human health effects:
Inhalation: The fumes may affect the respiratory tract membrane and the
lungs. Fumes may cause a cough, chest pain and dyspnea. Bronchitis and
pneumonia may occur. The fumes could possibly be a carcinogen.
Skin contact: Skin contact with the electrolyte would seriously affect the skin
and may cause dermatitis.
Eye contact: The electrolyte leaked from the battery cell is a strong alkali.
When it goes into the eye, the cornea may be affected and it may lead to
blindness.
Ingestion: Ingestion of the electrolyte would seriously irritate the mouth and
the throat and result in vomiting, nausea, hematemesis, stomach pains and
diarrhea.

Handling and storage
Handling
Technical measures:
Prevention of user exposure: Not necessary under normal use.
Prevention of fire and explosion: Not necessary under normal use.
Precaution for safe handling: Do not damage or remove the external case
or the cells’ external tube.
Specific safe handling advice: Never throw cells into a fire or expose to
high temperatures. Do not soak cells in water or seawater. Do not expose to
strong oxidizers. Do not give strong mechanical shocks or throw to the floor.
Never disassemble, modify or deform. Do not connect the positive terminal to
the negative terminal with electrically conductive material.
Storage
Technical measures:
Storage conditions: Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature and high
humidity.
Temperature range: -20 to +35°C; Humidity range: 20 to 80%.
Incompatible materials: Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong
oxidizers and strong acids
