Re: 9406-270 cache battery

In those old cards a dead battery might seem "live" again when you do a
cold boot. It is changed by time and not by any real capacity check. So,
yes, replace it.

We are working on a 9406-270 that is throwing a 27639010 src code.

Likely that cache battery was drained, no one noticed, and they had a
power outage.

Had to IPL off the D side in manual mode to reclaim cache.

Didn't know any DST password but 22222222 got me in. Whew!

Did the reclaim cache and now have the machine up and running.

Checked cache battery status and it displays like we just put in a new
cache battery (we didn't).

Anyone see this before? Guess we need a new cache battery. True?

Thx,
