Re: cache batteries

Added to what Jim said: If My CE could not find the correct parts he 
would not be allowed within 100 ft of my equipment. It's his job to be 
able to do this.

Remember that in Power Systems land like Jim said, part numbers change, 
sometimes frequently and we use Feature Codes and always have. IBM does 
any needed translation and thus gets us the most recent EC level.

Resist the temptation to find part numbers on Power Systems gear. Just 
do it!
