How to monitor Backup Battery Unit ? UCS C-210, CIMC 1.4(3p)

Hello,
I'm looking for a monitoring solution to detect BBU failure for our UCS C210 running CIMC 1.4(3p)
Two leads that come to mind are
- SNMP
- LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager
SNMP, the OID CISCO suggests to do that is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.45.11.1.9 (bbuoperstatus). Tried it, didn't work out. It shows status = 1 (OK) for all of our UCS ! Moreover, the OID no longer exists in CIMC 1.5
LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager, someone knows how to add UCS into its Host View ? Does the MSM needs to be in the same subnet that the UCS or CIMC ?
If you have any solution to monitor the BBU, please help.
Thanks alot.

Hi Nguyen Quang Son,
try this link , check if it can be of any use.
Hope this helps.

T410 - how to recharge backup battery after - ERROR 0251 System CMOS checksum bad

Hey people
I would like to know how to recharge the backup battery ( internal one, keeping clock and date etc. )
i got the
Error 0251 System CMOS checksum bad— Default configuration used.
message and after looking at the T400 manual they write what to do:
Charge the backup battery for more than 8 hours by connecting the ac adapter.
ok sounds good, but i cant figure out how to properly charge it,
do i need to put the normal battery pack out and then attach it to the AC adapter, or not?
Does the laptop need to be running or will it be charged also turned off?
i would really appreciate if u could help me out and tell me the proper way to recharge!!
thanks already,
cheers,
Andi

Hello and welcome,
I didn't know that the backup battery was rechargeable. I don't think it is. You might be better off to just replace it.
The Hardware Maintenance Manual page 80 shows how to access it. According to the System Service Parts T410, the FRU number is 02K7078. They should be easy to find and inexpensive.

How to test T61 backup battery?

Hello,
am taking apart a T61 for cleaning, OS reload etc and am thinking of testing the backup battery while I am in the maintenance mode. The maintenance manual indicates to remove the battery and measure the voltage, but doesn't indicate how to do this, I have a multimeter but have no idea how to test this particular part.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

it's a simple DC battery with two wires, you just check the voltage across them, but I'd recommend you remove any bios passwords you may have set first.
Also, these batteries don't often go bad, so you can simply remove the main battery and unplug the AC for a few hours and if the clock remains set, the cmos battery is working.

How should I tackle battery drain issues?? I'm fed up

I'm fed up a bit for my Z3 C battery life. This is my second query regarding battery life.
Does keeping Mobile data and Whatsapp running ON even in standby mode drains the battery??
I usually get just 1 or 2 whatsapp messages in an hour or two.
My phone settings-
Always turned off my wifi/ bt/ nfc/ gps/ location tracking/ autoupdates etc. & everything you can think and suggest.
I use only stock custom wallpaper and no live stuff. No widgets. No sd card inserted. With only two homescreens with just 2 shortcuts on each screen.
Have disabled apps which I dont use.
Stopped services of apps which are no longer needed.
No auto sync enabled for any app.
Display brightness is at 30% all times.
I use only these 3rd party apps-
Status bar mini
Network monitor mini
Whatsapp
Greenify
My daily Z3 routine-
At night while going to sleep I turn off mobile data, turn on airplane mode and turn on stamina mode. (12:30am - 9:30am)
Manually Force stop apps which are on. Use Greenify to exit/stop apps.
When I wake up the next day battery is down by 4-5%.
During day, phone runs in normal mode without any stamina activated. (10am - 12:30am)
The Low-battery mode seems useless as it does literally nothing.
Also, as soon as the battery is 100% charged and if I use phone for even 5 mins the battery immediately drops to 99%, so is this normal??
Even if I capture 5 photos in stock auto mode the battery drops by 1% or 2.
I reboot my phone once a week or in 10 days or when need arises.
Ram utilised is always 1gb. But I dont feel any slowness for any app or my phone usage.
So inspite of all this STRICT following what I get at the end of the day is just 1.2 days battery life.
Again I dont watch any movies or play games fearing my battery will deplete in no time.
So basically I'm using my Z3 as a battery monitoring unit and is 85% on standby mode. So when shall I use my phone the way it is designed for???
I have read people using it for occasionally playing games and watching movies, light surfing, calling and camear and it still lasts a good 2 days. So where I'm going wrong here?
I use 2G/edge network as 3G isnt available for my operator in the city I reside.
Charging the phone to 100% from 14% takes 3 to 3.5 hours.
I have already repaired my phone using Sony pc companion and also did a factory reset as well but this issue has been haunting me.
Sony center says the battery doesnt need any replacement as its still healthy and so is my device.
The phones service menu also reports battery status as Good.
I dont know when is Lollipop gonna be out for Z3 but I fear updating to Lollipop as it may pose more serious issues than doing any good apart from usual GUI tweaks & updates.
But just wish that lollipop brings in more relief to Z3 batteries and operations.
-------- If my Post or Answer helped you out, Please KUDOS me

Hi all,
I dont know what topic to choose Got them all:
I was looking around and tried a lot of tips concerning the battery drainage, no luck ,
but then I noticed other issues as well
I tried to send a mail to support but, some how it is not working today: tried different browsers, even different computers.
NOT here to talk bad, complain or talk down on this product, I know the phone in working condition,
from my house mate and it is what they promise. I just dont know what to do and a bit frustrated and lauged at by my house mate.
I am posting, may be you guys have some answers, solutions or experiences.
But I think I am just unlucky to have a black sheep of the production.
My Firmware : 23.0.1.A.5.77
My issues.
- Battery Drain
- Screen isseus
- And reception issues
**Battery Drain**
I wake up 06:00 get it from the charger got to work when I come home 18:00 i got 15% left.
I actually can see the percentages going down while scrolling my emails.
ow beginning I work in support myself, I waited for an
- Waited for Updates
- Installed the update
- Un installed apps.
- Configured stamina almost so tight that most of the apps except email where online
- Did a factory reset twice
1) First time start using it as normal, with less apps, still same performance maybe
3% better, but that might be because i didn't used it so much of the less apps
2) Second time Factory reset - I got a 2, full days out of it:
- No Apps Installed
- No Wifi
- Didn't use it at al left it on my nightstand
- No data traffic
- 3/4 screenshots
- No Phone Calls
Well what is the use for a (premium) smartphone if you leave it on your nightstand?
When I start using it at the minimum installed:
- 2 email accounts (Gmail and company one)
- Facebook
- Spotify
Check it out:
!!This after the 2nd FACTORY RESET Yesterday!!!
Screenshot from this morning on my way to work
(to be fair left it with 100% unused at home and still 2 days and 3 hours)
Ok the next picture is on my way home , didnt use it since no apps installed and busy at work (this is about 12 hrs later)
Installed Spotify listened about 30minutes over 4g
18 hours left ? Quick calculation dat is 21 hours missing (33 hours in total)
Next installed facebook , some mail accounts, whatsapp, apped a couple of people that I am available again
45 Minutes later: 8 hours gone.
What do you think? Is it me? Or is there something wrong?
** SCREEN PROBLEMS **
I tought I noticed a couple of glitches with the screen, like little flashes,
but was not sure, I kind of found the use of the screen suspicious while monitoring the battery (50%)
al the time even if it was home doing nothing the whole day.
The the Bouncing touch, i experienced that also but not constant, there is another topic about that here.
Things I didnt worried about untill : I was looking around the battery menu,
and descover the usage graph screen, when I went in to it i noticed a little falsh and a lag.
and then I had a little heart attack: screen broken , dead pixels what is it.?! BUT ONLY on yhis screen,
no problem with it BEFORE the factory reset:
TAKE A LOOK, AND ALSO NOTICE THE GRAPH GOING DOWN ALMOST IN A STRAIGHT LINE,
screen shot a minute later as the 3rd screen shot of battery drain.
CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN , IT LOOKS CRACKED RIGHT? IT ISNT!!
** CONNECTION/RECEPTION PROBLEMS **
I kind of noticed , isseus , but wasnt bothered that much, only while analyzing the battery that was my main concern.
I noticed I had always less reception than others same room/place same provider (VODAFONE IRELAND),
maybe that was an factor draining the battery, but it was not like there was really low signal just one bar less then other
people an the other Z3 here in the house.
What did noticed , and I was willing to wait for an firmware update for it, It kept losing 4G connectivity;
it flipped to 3g for a bit and the stays hanging around H and Edge.
WORKAROUND restart the fone and with no problem back on 4g but after a while and not moving;
4g drops again to either H or Edge. (Mind Vodafone has the biggest and strongest 4g network at the moment here in Dublin)
So now I dont know what to do, I kinda bought the fone for my holiday (in 3 weeks).
- Is it serious enough that Sony will replace it? Since opening it up an closing it, will lose waterproofing
- What else will they expect from me to do / trouble shoot?
- How long will a solution take? Sending the fone back etc.
And finally other people reconize these isseus, and especially like me at the same time?
Thanks in advance For your Feedback (if Any).
I will try to mail support again now, and hope the website works now.

Backup battery replacement specifications

I have scanned MULTIPLE pdf manuals on replacing the FLAT backup battery in the 17" iMac G5 with the ambient light sensor AND NOWHERE DOES IT TELL YOU WHAT KIND, TYPE, SPECS, ETC. It just says replace it with the new one.. well duh!
There was no battery under the little clip for me to compare it to otherwise I wouldn't have a problem. In fact, I don't understand how the machine was working before since it had been working perfectly fine a couple days ago. I cracked open the case to replace/upgrade the hard drive and when I put back together unit will not boot. Cracked open the back and that was when I noticed the little flat battery compartment was empty???????????
I have replaced those little 3.6v purple backup batteries for 20 years. Why didn't they just stick with SAME BATTERY they have used for over 20 years

The battery is a CR2032 3 volt lithium button battery that you can find for about five dollars in any Radio Shack.

Backup battery - what wattage?

I have a G4 450 Dual model7892.
I want to buy a backup plug in power source from APC.
They said the minimum needed for this computer is a backup battery of 540 watts. I cannot get them to tell me how they came upon this number.
Can anyone help or make recommendations for backup equipment?
Thanks,
Mrs H

There may be a power tag on the back of your Mac that lists the Volts & Amps.
In picking the size and features of a UPS, there are several important considerations.
1. What devices are connected to the backup power & what are their wattages. I use a Belkin model F6B750-AVR uninterruptable power supply (UPS) that's rated at 400 watts. I have my G4 AGP Mac, a 17" LCD monitor, my DSL modem & wireless router connected (everything needed to continue operation during a power failure). During use, the UPS is only loaded at 25% of it's output capacity.
2. How long do you want the system to operate after a power failure. I have the Belkin software shutdown the system after 10 minutes of operation (like if I'm not home), unless I shut it down manually. If I recall correctly, I calculated that I could run on battery power for possibly as long as 25-30 minutes.
3. Surge protection - In addition to the battery backup electrical outlets (4 each), the Belkin UPS has 2 additional outlets that are surge protected. I use these for my other devices, like a printer, etc. The surge protection keeps high voltage spikes from damaging your equipment.
4. Automatic Voltage Regulation - The Belkin UPS regulates the output voltage at 120VAC, regardless of a low line voltage like durning a brownout.
5. Broadband/Phone Line Surge Protection - The Belkin UPS has a plug for a standard telephone line connection (like for dial-up), an ethernet plug for DSL line connection & a coax connector for cable connection. All of these are surge protected.
Your G4 450 Dual could probably use a UPS with the 400W rating, except it would have a shorter battery run time. There's not a whole lot of difference in price when you get a higher rated UPS, so get one larger that 400W. I would recommend that has the features on the Belkin UPS.
Hope this info helps in your purchase decision. A UPS protects your computer hardware like a backup hard drive protects your software. You need both.
 Cheers, Tom

Can I just disconnect/remove Fios backup battery?

I cut off my home phone service due to not needing/wanting it any longer a few months ago. Now the backup battery is beeping every few minutes. I assume that means it needs replacing. But it's also my understanding it's only for the phone. I now only have fios cable/internet services. I disconnected the battery and took it out, but that annoying beeping continues. I have even hit the alarm off button on several occasions but it still continues. Am I missing a step or something. I'm about over it and contemplating switching back over to the local cable provider Cox Communications.

People, when you reply to someone's post, do you even read it? He is stating the following:

I assume that he wants to know how to shut off the beeping. He does not want to buy a new battery or pull a cable off of a battery that is already out of the box! He just wants to stop the beeping, period.
My only suggestion is to take the box apart and cut the wire to the speaker (alarm), this will silence it for good. Otherwise, you will have to purchase a battery and plug it in to keep it charged.
Sorry for my little rant!

I did, in fact, read the post. The unit itself is causing the beeping (not the battery), and as I said, this is usually caused by the unit not receiving power. Remove the CAUSE, and the symptom should be resolved. I did not suggest anything to do with the battery itself.

HT5988 I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version? How do I make that unit compatible? olefromca

I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version? How do I make that unit compatible? olefromca

I agree entirely, been messing with this since the upgrade to Mavericks but I didn't find it quite as easy as uninstalling the WD smartware as it still operates when you plug the drive back in - I think it gets loaded onto the drive and runs from within (?). The advice from WD was that time machine was faulty and I should contact Apple...thanks guys!
Anyway, for the OP's benefit, this is what I found:
1. My problem was that time machine couldn't see any further back than before the Mavericks install, but if I opened up and interrogated the WD drive, the old backups were still there.
2. When TM started doing new backups, it overwrote the ones that it could see, not the oldest ones on the drive. This indicated to
me that the WD software had somehow partitioned off the old backups and excluded that part of the drive from being overwritten. Of course, as the drive was practically full, it meant that any new backups wouldn't fit in the available space.....
3. The only way I could find to resolve this was to use the disc utility to erase and repartition the external drive. This will obviously remove all of the old files and backups, but I was more concerned about keeping a current profile as backup rather than a load of stuff from months ago.
4. Anyway, what happens after the eraseure has completed is that you get the WD icon on the desktop, and you're invited to install the software - this means the software has now been deleted. Juts don't reinstall it, just let TM do it's backup and all is well.
Usual disclaimers and warnings about keeping another copy of your system etc. obviously apply, and I know this is a radical move to delete all your old data but it worked for me. I guess I didn't appreciate that you could use the external drive without the software that came with it and just followed the screen guide.
I'm also aware that if you don't want to use TM to do a complete restore and only want to find one old version of a document, this is difficult. However, you can then install the WD software and find the file but you'll then have to do this all again.....

How to increase your battery health - anyone with similar experiences?

this is my very own self made instruction of "how to increase your battery health"
it is the procedure how i have done it serverall times on my powerbook g4 12".
my stats: 374 cycles, health 86% (3790 of 4400mAh)
age of my mac: 57month (battery bit newer)
**if you to try this: it is on your own risk!**
**this may not be suitable for mac newbies**
**be sure to read this twice before you do it once!**
you will need:
-a pocket lamp or comparable light (to see anything on your sreen when it is dark --> light from the back through apple logo)
-coconutbattery (coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery) or comparable programm to track your battery information in realtime
-activity monitor
-cool enviroment (to ensure your fans don't have to work that much)
-some time and patience
the intructions:
step1: load your mac until the orange light turns green
step2: disconnect the power adapter
step3: use your mac until 15-25% battery life (track this information in your menu bar)
step4: slow down your activities. the order of the following actions depend on your usage of your mac:
__close programms that use lots of cpu/gpu to ensure the fans slow down to 0rpm (!!)
__turn off everything that needs battery power: airport / bluetooth / speakers / etc.
__eject dvd or cd
__close all programms with important data
__eject idisk / .dmg files in your finder (this is not only a matter of data security)
__dissonnected from peripherals such as ethernet / internet / mouse / keyboard
__use lower brightness level
__open activity monitor to ensure that your hard drive activity is very low, may be you need to close more active programms, close activity monitor when hard drive activity is very low
__open system preferences >> energy saver preferences >> choose longest battery life
when your are ready with those actions go on and ensure you are able to connect to power adapter with your mac quickly (be able to charge - don't do it yet!)
step5: be patient. now it should take some time until your battery level goes down to 3-5%
now there should be no programm running.
do not open any programm now!
do not have a look at your dashboard!
now your mac should be really quiet:
-no fans (0rpm!)
-nearly no hard drive activity!!
-->> if this not the case break go on with step 11&12, try again in a week or two
-->> if you are ready go on with step6
step6: open coconutbattery und use the lowest brightness level
play with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start. waste time until you are at 1-2% battery life.
step7: take your lamp and spot through the transperent apple logo, position your coconut battery window somehow that you can see the current battery charge und the maxium battery charge in the spot of your lamp through the apple logo.
step8: go from the lowest brightness level to the level under the lowest brightness level (a dark screen)
step9: watch your current battery charge carefully und keep on playing with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start.
step10: there is kind of battery buffer made of approximately 1% (once when my "current battery charge" was 3624mAh and this kind of buffer was at 36mAh)
to empty this kind of battery buffer takes much longer as you might expect!
when your current battery charge turns under this kind of battery buffer, your maximum battery charge should change. hopefully it is higher or stays the same. when it is lower now: i'm sorry - i have warned you. may be you have to go through this 'how to' more carefully!?
step11: plug in your power adapter before the battery is cero!
step12: load until the orange light turns green
step13: if it was helpful do not repeat it more than once a week, better once a month
-->webcal://www.apple.com/batteries/images/notebook_icalreminder.ics
(via: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html)
anyone with similar experiences about increasing battery health!?
(yes, i'm sorry for my poor english, i've tried my best)

Me too! My battery lasts for 10 minutes. It is awful and I am on my 4th power adapter since they keep breaking too.
From coconut battery: Maximum battery charge 310mah, original 4400, age of mac 45 months, 140 cycles.
From system profile:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 310
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 213
Amperage (mA): -1205
Voltage (mV): 11557
Cycle Count: 140
I went to an apple authorized retailer and they said nothing I can do if it is out of warranty.. is this true?

Backup Battery

I have an iMac G3 CRT, indigo. It won't hold date & time anymore. The help menu tells me I may need to replace the backup battery but I can't find any info on where it is or how to accesss it. Anybody got info??

Welcome Dale!
This is the battery as sold online:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAA36VPRAM/
Radio Shack stores cary the correct battery as part number 23-026, but will charge you three times the online price (the example I posted is typical).
If you open the RAM installation door on the bottom of the case, you can see the PRAM battery. A non-metallic grasping tool like plastic forceps makes replacing the battery easier. Make sure to note the polarity of the old battery and duplicate it when installing the new one.
Most PRAM batteries last a long time, but start to die quickly when the computer is off wall power. Best practice is to leave Macs plugged into the wall socket even if they are not getting much use. If you must unplug one for an extended period of time, remove the battery and tape it to the case.

Replace Backup Battery

My installer put the backup battery in the attic. I'm disabled so I don't stand a prayer of getting up there to replace the battery. What do I do when it's time to replace the battery? How do I know the battery needs changing? What's the average before a battery needs to be change?

Mine began beeping about a week ago. I could find nowhere on the general website that addressed this problem--even in the automated help (i always got remote control battery replacement...not helpful). Nor was i initially able to get real, live tech support. This morning i got through and was advised consistent with this string: ie verizon warantees the back-up battery for one year only; after that it is your problem. the website is:
fios.asurion.com
please note: there is no www. before the address.
there are only three tabs on the website: home; order; log-in.
the battery at this time costs just under $50.00 (not sure what shipping is).
I am pleased with Fios (though the Verizon customer support website could use some help), but charging you 50 bucks to replace the battery is something not even the cable company would do.
note also: the back-up battery powers only your phone service in the event of a power outage (according to tech support; no internet, no tv). So...i thought (and was advised by tech support) i could just take out the battery to get rid of the beeping...didn't work.
hope this helps you avoid what it took me to figure out.

Getting backup battery to send email alerts....?

Hello! I've got an APC RS1500 UPS hooked up to my Mac Mini server running 10.6.
Obviously, I've already used System Preferences to configure how we want the battery to manage the power to the machine in the event of an outage. But since APC's PowerChute software (which, from what I understand, used to have the ability to send email alerts in such a case) only works up until about 10.4 until they started implementing the native support we have "lost" the ability for the server to send out an email alert whenever should there be a power issue.
So far, I've found no native way to do this within OSX and the APC software that used to do this for you is no longer supported on 10.5 or 10.6.....how can we do this?
I'm looking for something, anything, really to just get the server to send me an email should the power go down. Terminal command, Automator workflow, AppleScript, third party software....whatever.
Just....something?
Surely there are other people out there running Mac servers on a battery backup with some kind of notification system in place?
Thanks in advance.

Pingdom does what you are asking for. It detects the web server outage. It sends email, SMS or a tweets. And it's a free service.
If you're working on an internal server of some sort (or otherwise outside of what pingdom can reach), then this is going to involve a quick script, or some add-on software.
If you're working on the script, do you have a local mail server running on this box? (That'll make sending mail easier.)
And do you want to know about every outage, or do you want notifications when the shutdown happens? (If it's the latter that you're after, then you can send mail from the shutdown script.)
Some of the more capable and less-interruptible power supplies have notification capabilities. (eg: APC less-interruptible power supplies with the APC Web/SNMP card.)
The apcupsd tool might be of interest, too. Whether that update works on Mountain Lion, I don't know.
