6404 Cache Module

Ian Pennington_1 — Mon, 14 Feb 2005 05:02:22 GMT

Hi

I have 2 6404 controllers in 2 seperate NAS 2000s systems. All is working fine except the Cache Module is showing (via CIM and on board LED) a dead battery on both. Replace the whole module and battery and I get the same error. Remove the module and CIM says the controller is all green. Any thoughts?

SmartArray 6402 / 6404 firmware version 2.34 fixes a battery issue.

The 6404 card uses two copies of firmware. Just curious, are they both 2.34?
