Replacing Batteries

The batteries of the ETERNUS AF250 S2

are expendable components that need to be replaced periodically.

Batteries can be replaced during regular maintenance free of charge. For customers without a maintenance con-

tract, replacement requests (payment required) must be made.

■

Replacement Cycle for a Battery

If a battery is used at an average temperature of 25 °C, the battery can be used for the entire maintenance sup-

port period (five years). The replacement cycle for a battery varies according to the customer's environment and

usage.

•

The replacement cycle for a battery is shortened if the battery is used at high tempera-

tures or the battery charges and discharges frequently.

■

Checking the Time to Replace the Battery

•

If the time to replace the battery is near, contact your maintenance engineer to re-

place the battery. If the end of the battery's life is detected by the storage system due

to continued use even after exceeding the replacement period, the performance of the

ETERNUS AF250 S2

degrades because the operational state of the cache is changed to

the Write Through mode to protect the data.
