Make sure you pull the plug from the wall, too.

Subject: Re: 515 Cache Battery - Source and replacement

Jack,

Thanks. After option 2, do I power down? I've never opened a system i
before. I see a couple blue tabs on the top of the front panel. I imagine
those do something to open it up.

I heard some saying they had to pull a SCSI card to replace it.

I'm not worried about it, work on PCs all the time. But, without having
done it before it I am a little wary, but not wary enough to not try it.
:)

Brad, not sure on part number but you will do it all in SST.

STRSST, option 1, 7 then 9, I believe you will do a option 2, then
replace
the battery then an option number 3.

Hi, all!

Today my 515 told me my cache battery was dying (68 days left). After
some
searches I found that it should be a fairly easy job (I no longer have
maintenance and estimate was 4k from IBM).

I'm wondering if anyone knew where to find the part and if this
replacement
is hard? I have no problem shutting the machine down for the job.

Thanks!
