Replacing Batteries
The batteries of the ETERNUS DX 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 battery is still used even after the replacement time has
passed, the performance of the
ETERNUS DX degrades because the operational state
of the cache is changed to Write Through mode.
The time to replace the battery can be checked by using the following options.
If the time to replace the battery is near, contact your maintenance engineer.
