PCI-X DDR double wide quad channel Ultra 320 SCSI RAID adapter with auxiliary write
cache
Note: The cache battery for both the 571F adapter and the 575B adapter is contained in the single battery
FRU that is physically located on the 575B auxiliary write cache adapter. The functions of forcing the
battery pack into an error state and starting IOA cache on either adapter in the card set will result in the
same functions automatically being performed on the other adapter in the card set.
Replacing this feature is a customer task. You can perform this task yourself, or contact an authorized
service provider to perform the task for you. You might be charged a fee by the authorized service
provider for this service.
Important: Removing the cache battery with the system or partition already in a powered-off state might
result in the loss of customer data. If the system has been powered off prior to the battery service action,
you must IPL to DST and continue this procedure before replacing the battery.
For information about replacing the cache battery pack on an AIX system or partition, see the PCI-X SCSI
RAID Controller Reference Guide for AIX in the IBM(r) AIX Information Center.
For information about replacing the cache battery pack on a Linux system or partition, see the PCI-X
SCSI RAID Controller Reference Guide for Linux. This guide is available from the SCSI PCI Adapters web
page.
To replace the 571F adapter or 575B cache battery pack using the IBM i operating system, complete the
following procedure:
Note: To complete these procedures, do not power off the adapter or power off the system or partition.
The cache battery on these adapters is designed to be replaced concurrently.
1. Ensure that the cache battery pack is in an error state before replacing it. This action will prevent
possible data loss by ensuring that all cache data is written to disk before battery replacement. To
force the cache battery pack into an error state, do the following steps on the system or partition that
is using the adapter:
a. Be sure that you are signed on to the system with at least service level authority.
b. On the command line, type strsst. Press Enter.
c. On the System Service Tools (SST) Sign On display, type your service tools user ID and service
tools password. Press Enter.
2. Does the system or partition have i Version 5 Release 4 or later?
v Yes: Continue with the next step.
v No: Go to step 4.
3. On the System Service Tools (SST) display, select Start a Service Tool. Press Enter.
a. On the Start a Service Tool display, select Hardware Service Manager. Press Enter.
b. On the hardware Service Manager display, select Work with resources containing cache battery
packs. Press Enter.
c. On the Work with Resources containing Cache Battery Packs display, select Force battery pack
into error state for the I/O card. Press Enter.
