PowerEdge 2950 Gen III with a bad raid drive and dead battery.
I have a 6 1Tb drives in this system with a PERC 5i controller creating two "3 drive raid 5" arrays. One of the drives is flashing yellow and I have received a new old drive to replace it.
At the same time I see this message in dmesg.
[ 25.303516] megaraid_sas 0000:02:0e.0: 28624 (558589124s/0x0008/FATAL) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad
I actually have a new battery ready to install if I really need it.
What is the proper way to complete the needed repairs?

Unfortunately Dell has refused to answer this question due to an unknown issue. I will never buy another old Dell server because of this. BUYER BEWARE!
