I've got a perc 6/e card like here:

http://public.support.unisys.com/pcproducts/esx/docs/DellDocs5.4/en/Perc6i_6e/chapterd.htm#wp1063488 


but the plastic placeholder for the BBU won't fit over the battery - so 
where does the battery go?  it could balance if it was vertical, but 
since it's laying down, and the battery is on the bottom, it would fall 
through.  the battery is the exact same size as the plastic bit, but has 
no clips, so what attaches the battery to the dimm?

did dell send the wrong stuff? (I know, that'd be a first)
