We do all that work ourselves. It is no fun to have a CE come out and work
on it for you. The only time we have our CE come out is to bring us parts or
work on our 690 or Regatta.

If you have hardware maintenance you can call IBM and a CE will come out and
replace them.
There is downtime involved to pull the card and replace it.

As a side note to this, where did you get the batteries? I've got a SSA
adapter that needs new batteries but I'm not sure where to begin looking...

Mat,
The batteries typically have about 1000 hours of use left in them after the
first error is generated in the error report. We had a CE come in and
replace all of ours, we had 6 that failed at the exact same time. Afterwards
he ran an apparently undocumented (that's what he said) command: ssa_format
-l ssa# -b
Where # is obviously the SSA loop that the FWC resides on. If your sick of
seeing errors in the errpt, you can run this anytime to reset the battery
timer, just remember it really does need replacement eventually.
Regards,
Darryl

Question for all of you... How do I "reset" a F/W cache battery? I replaced
the burned out battery and it still shows the old battery statistics...i.e.
battery hours.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
