There is no service guide: the procedure is in Part 2 of the User guide,
which you can get from the Internet in PDF format.

> Subject: Cache battery replacement for RAID adapter?
>
>
> Folks,
>
> I'm needing to get a battery replaced in a couple B80's that
> are attached to a disk cabinet by 'Advanced SerialRAID
> Adapter' cards, and have the FastWrite Cache option
> installed. I took a look at one, and it looks pretty
> braindead to replace the batteries (assuming I can get them),
> but I was wondering if anyone knows of anything that would
> need to be done before or after the battery replacement, like
> do I need to flush the cache somehow, or do something to it
> after I replace the battery...?
>
> I'm missing the service guide for the card (and cache
> option), otherwise I'd look it up myself. I believe the info
> *may* be in the 'Advanced SerialRAID Adapter: User's Guide
> and Maintenance Information' booklet...
>
> Anyone know offhand if I can replace the battery with
> impunity, or if I need to go through some gyrations to not
> trash the SSA arrays I've got in the disk cabinet?
