Maintaining the Batteries on the Caching Services Module

The CSM batteries last approximately three years. The following message displays in the system log
when a battery fails:
Dec 5 17:14:36 sw-90.21% SVC_BATTERY-SLOT8-4-BATTERY_CAPACITY_LOW:
Battery capacity is below the required threshold.
If this message is displayed, contact your support provider for assistance. If a battery fails, the CSM must
be replaced. The other CSMs in the fabric contain the same data, and they continue providing caching
services during the replacement period.
Caution The CSM batteries are shipped fully charged and should be handled accordingly.
Warning Do not touch or bridge the metal contacts on the battery. Unintentional discharge of the batteries can
cause serious burns. Statement 341
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Warning
Statement 1040
The batteries are automatically charged on a periodic basis with an SMBus-compliant Level III smart
charger located on the CSM. The smart charger measures the charge and recharges the battery to full if
it is less than 90 percent of capacity.
