P400: Battery/Capacitor Status: Failed

I replaced old BBU up to new BBU, but BBU status is not changed.

Leave the server on for 15 minutes and then restart it again

Some BBU's (especially the older P400 ones) need a "power" capacity to get things starting

Else get a P410/P212 battery they work fine on a P400 (not the other way around btw) and they are newer and less prone to this problem

Check the LED's on the battery, if it turns yellow, it will fail to work it does not get charged)

So the battery after replacement shows failed right!!

There are two options

a. Either the replaced Battery is DOA

b. If battery is fine, and again shows failed,  then you need to replace the 512MB cache installed on it.
