The OS will usually not boot in this scenario. If yo

I would try that, if that fails, it could be the RAM itself is bad, or possibly the RAM slots on the board.

The battery is to save cached data in case power is lost in mid-write. I am 99.9% sure the raid configuration is stored in NVRAM or CMOS,and does not depend on that battery.I could be totally wrong but, a dead raid battery should not stop the system from booting; I would suspect that the raid controller is bad, or there's a software issue with windows. For starters, I would power it down and re-seat everything, especially the riser-card. I would go into BIOS setup and make sure everything is set properly, and perhaps reset to factory defaults, in case there's just an odd bios error. Since the system gets to the splash screen have you tried safe mode?http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Ser

And most of the time this can be fixed rather easily with minimal downtime. So today, I will be doing a walk-through on replacing the raid kit on the 28xx series server. Now there are a few cases where it can end up being the riser card causing the issue, but replacing the raid kit seems to fix it more often than not. First things first, Power down your server and remove the cover. You will now be looking at the picture shown in Fig 1. The yellow circles show the location of the raid kit components (memory, battery, raid key). Fig 1 While you can get at the riser memory and the raid key without removing anything from the server, it will make your life a whole lot
