Re: 571B-001 Storage Controller battery cache

there are actually 2 statements:
the first is saying "is it concurrently maintainable"
and the second is "can it be safely replaced".

here is my screen:

battery pack WITHOUT failing the card first may lose data. So, powering
off your system, even controlled, is not the answer some think it to be.
