RE: Warning light on secondary cabinet of 520 ^H^H^H OOPS, I meant 510

Potato, potaaahto.  LOL!  Ok, good deal.  Glad you found the problem.

If it behaves like the other systems with batteries, you should be able
to turn off battery checking through SST, then remove/install the batt.
It'll clear the SRC and never check it again for runtime automatically.
If you don't mind the yellow light, just leave 'er be unless you see
acid dripping out.

OOPS, it's a 510, not a 520!

It isn't. None of our boxes are. We have enough geeks around the office
to do our own repairs, and a dead 500 (which we obtained in the same
customer barter deal as the
510) that's been a good source of spare parts.

1021D201

As soon as I broadcast my question, I started hunting around for the
manuals for the 510. It took a while to find where they'd been moved to,
but once I found them, the Problem Analysis book was near the top, and I
found a probable answer: 1xxxyyyy is power supply, and yyyy=D201 is a
bad internal battery pack.

I didn't know expansion boxes HAD their own battery packs; at any rate,
if it's a battery (can anybody confirm?), it's irrelevant, since that
whole system is on a UPS, with a monitoring cable.
