AEN Messages 047h Battery voltage is too low The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack voltage on a continuous basis. If the voltage is too low to operate, this AEN will be posted to the user. This indicates that the battery pack must be replaced. The Battery Backup Unit becomes not ready and is unable to backup the 3ware RAID controller. 048h Battery voltage is too high The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack voltage on a continuous basis. If the voltage is too high to operate, this AEN will be posted to the user. The Battery Backup Unit becomes not ready and is unable to backup the 3ware RAID controller. This indicates that the Battery Backup Unit must be replaced. 049h Battery temperature is normal The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack temperature on a continuous basis. If the temperature falls outside the acceptable range then comes back within the acceptable range, this AEN will be posted to the host. 04Ah Battery temperature is low The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack temperature on a continuous basis. If the temperature is below a warning threshold, this AEN will be posted to the user. When this event happens, the Battery Backup Unit is still able to backup the 3ware RAID controller but the user should replace the battery pack. 04Bh Battery temperature is high The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack temperature on a continuous basis. If the temperature is above a warning threshold, this AEN will be posted to the user. The user should check that there is enough airflow around the Battery Backup Unit. When this event happens, the Battery Backup Unit is still able to backup the 3ware RAID controller but the user should replace the battery pack if the temperature warning persists. 04Ch Battery temperature is too low The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack temperature on a continuous basis. If the temperature is too low to operate, this AEN will be posted to the user. When this event happens, the Battery Backup Unit becomes not ready and is unable to backup the 3ware RAID controller. The user must replace the battery pack. www.3ware.com 227

047h Battery voltage is too low

The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack voltage on

a continuous basis. If the voltage is too low to operate, this AEN will be

posted to the user. This indicates that the battery pack must be replaced. The

Battery Backup Unit becomes not ready and is unable to backup the 3ware

RAID controller.

048h Battery voltage is too high

The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack voltage on

a continuous basis. If the voltage is too high to operate, this AEN will be

posted to the user. The Battery Backup Unit becomes not ready and is unable

to backup the 3ware RAID controller. This indicates that the Battery Backup

Unit must be replaced.

049h Battery temperature is normal

The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack

temperature on a continuous basis. If the temperature falls outside the

acceptable range then comes back within the acceptable range, this AEN will

be posted to the host.

04Ah Battery temperature is low

The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack

temperature on a continuous basis. If the temperature is below a warning

threshold, this AEN will be posted to the user. When this event happens, the

Battery Backup Unit is still able to backup the 3ware RAID controller but the

user should replace the battery pack.

04Bh Battery temperature is high

The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack

temperature on a continuous basis. If the temperature is above a warning

threshold, this AEN will be posted to the user. The user should check that

there is enough airflow around the Battery Backup Unit. When this event

happens, the Battery Backup Unit is still able to backup the 3ware RAID

controller but the user should replace the battery pack if the temperature

warning persists.

04Ch Battery temperature is too low

The Battery Backup Unit measures and evaluates the battery pack

temperature on a continuous basis. If the temperature is too low to operate,

this AEN will be posted to the user. When this event happens, the Battery

Backup Unit becomes not ready and is unable to backup the 3ware RAID
