RE: CACHE BATT EXP 90 DAYS???

["Lukas Beeler" <l.beeler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I disagree.

Demanding a Save 21 before doing any work on the hardware is reasonable
- if the customer doesn't want to do it, it's his risk. If the
technician doesn't say anything and something happens, it's his fault.

All part of the blame game :)

All you need is a good shutdown - watch the SRC - D6005500 = writing
cache, D6005501 = cache write successful.

If you have to do more than that to replace a cache battery, get
yourself a new CE.  My .02.
