Changing the Battery Age and Disabling the Battery Life Monitor

The controller monitors the life of the controller battery and creates a warning event when

the battery nears the end of its life (controller batteries typically last about 3 years). The event

will display (each time the controller is rebooted) until the battery is replaced and the battery

age reset.
When replacing the battery, the battery age must be reset for the battery life monitor to work

properly.
The battery age can also be set. This option is useful when replacing the old battery with a

used battery. There is also an option to disable the battery life monitor.

CAUTION:

Disabling the battery life monitor is not recommended! Battery failure during

normal operation will disable the write-back cache, resulting in data cor-

ruption in the event of power loss!

To change the battery age or disable the battery life monitor:

1.

Select Shutdown/Restart from the System Menu and press Enter.
The system will confirm your request to shutdown.

2.

Select Yes and press Enter.
The system will shut down.

3.

Press Enter to reboot.

4.

Press down the spacebar (on the keyboard) while the controller reboots.
The Flash Utility screen should now display (Figure 69).
