Note beside - we usually wait(ed) 10-15mins for normal battery replacement.

The button batteries *can* be replaced but it is a mess of a work so i am glad
we bought a lot of 27** and 57** controllers for spare.

Betreff: Re: Cache battery timer refresh?

SIDE NOTE: RAID cards for older POWER5 and 6 machines are going up in price with the quickness. Some are already near their new price and likely to climb. Why? I believe the problem is the non-replacable button batteries on the cache index card. The little daughter card that you find on all cache cards. Each of the cards I have failed (They show Degraded even when the cache battery is brand new) I have found to have dead button batteries on that card. As they cannot be replaced the card is now dead. Guess what, they are all about the same age! Yes I have acquired some of those batteries and attempted to replace them but have had no joy in stopping the card from reporting 'DEGRADED'.
