Re: Impending cache battery pack failure

I've been told that this message is triggered by elapsed time only (around 
three years from initial install date).

Impending cache battery pack failure






We had this message on the system console on our model 800 yesterday:

*Attention*  Contact your hardware service provider.

Which indicated that we will have to replace the battery soon.  How 
soon?  The disks are still showing in operational status so I am not 
sure what triggers the "impending" message.  Anybody have experience 
with actually waiting until it failed and how long that took?  I'd like 
to put off bringing the system down until the weekend but, if impending 
meant hours, I'd better get on it tonight.

Thanks,

Pete Helgren
