HPE Smart Storage battery 8Wh, model MC96 HSTNS-BB02, part number 727260-002, the cache backup module for P440, P440ar, P840 and P840ar Smart Array controllers.
HPE part 727260-002 is the 8Wh Smart Storage battery, model MC96 with regulatory model HSTNS-BB02, the module that backs up the write cache of HPE Smart Array controllers so that data in the cache survives a power loss and is written to flash. It is named for the P440, P440ar, P840 and P840ar controllers of ProLiant Gen9 servers. A Smart Array whose battery has failed disables write-back caching and slows markedly, which is the usual symptom that leads to this part. It is refurbished. Buyers in Qatar replace 727260-002 when iLO reports the battery degraded, typically after several years in service, and ServerDove keeps it in Doha stock for that repair on Gen9 servers.

| Controller | Generation | Note |
|---|---|---|
| HPE Smart Array P440 and P440ar | ProLiant Gen9 | Named as compatible |
| HPE Smart Array P840 and P840ar | ProLiant Gen9 | Named as compatible |
The 8Wh module and the 96W module are the two forms of the MC96 battery that HPE supplied for Gen9 chassis; the one to order is the type the chassis already holds, which the label on the fitted module shows. Both perform the same function and both are managed identically by iLO.
Specification
The 8Wh figure is the energy the battery stores; it needs only to power the controller for the seconds it takes to move the cache contents to flash, which is why a small module can back up a large cache. The battery charges from the server's power supply and reports its state through iLO, which also warns when it approaches end of life.
Installation
Shut the server down and disconnect mains. Locate the battery holder in the chassis, unclip the old module and disconnect its short cable from the system board, then connect and clip in the replacement. On boot iLO shows the new battery charging; write-back caching resumes automatically once it reaches sufficient charge, usually within a few hours.
