Replacing Batteries

The batteries of the ETERNUS AF250 S2 are expendable components that need to be replaced periodically.
Batteries can be replaced during regular maintenance free of charge. For customers without a maintenance con-
tract, replacement requests (payment required) must be made.
■
Replacement Cycle for a Battery
If a battery is used at an average temperature of 25 °C, the battery can be used for the entire maintenance sup-
port period (five years). The replacement cycle for a battery varies according to the customer's environment and
usage.

Remote Support
If a possible error that may occur is detected or an error occurs when remote support service is used, the con-
tents of events are automatically sent to the remote support center and notified to the user.
The replacement cycle for a battery is shortened if the battery is used at high tempera-
•
tures or the battery charges and discharges frequently.
If the time to replace the battery is near, contact your maintenance engineer to re-
•
place the battery. If the end of the battery's life is detected by the storage system due
to continued use even after exceeding the replacement period, the performance of the
ETERNUS AF250 S2 degrades because the operational state of the cache is changed to
the Write Through mode to protect the data.
