Correct Rob, those are different cards in the example shown.

Your point?
How will that allow me to flush cache in my cards?

The imbedded 57CB controller still has battery packs.

Crap. Found the old instructions.
On the System Service Tools (SST) display, select Start a Service Tool.
Press Enter.
On the Start a Service Tool display, select Hardware Service Manager.
Press Enter.
On the hardware Service Manager display, select Work with resources
containing cache battery packs. Press Enter.
On the Work with Resources containing Cache Battery Packs display, select
Force battery pack into error state for the I/O card. Press Enter.
On the Force Battery Packs Into Error State display, verify that the
correct I/O adapter has been selected and press the function key that
confirms your choice.
Return to the Work with Resources containing Cache Battery Packs display
and select Display battery information. Verify that the Battery pack can
be safely replaced field indicates yes. If it does not indicate yes,
contact your next level of support before continuing this procedure.
Jim's right, they would not apply. Darn <or something like that...>

It is said that IBM did not give us a way to force the cache to disk
within SST. It NEEDS to be done before changing out the card or you do
lose the data in cache. IBM must provide a way to flush the cache!

Not on those cards since there is no replaceable battery.
