16.4 Unit Life Span and Maintenance Period
The unit life span and maintenance period after production ends for the disk array unit are as
follows.
Parts used in the disk array unit include parts that must be exchanged due to their life spans (such as
cooling fans and battery backup units). Since life spans may be shorter than five years depending on
the environment in which the disk array unit is used, it is recommended that parts be exchanged
regularly. Contact your maintenance service agent regarding exchanges and life spans.

Caution:
As backup frequency increases, the battery life span of this unit becomes shorter. This
life span is calculated considering only accidental power disconnection such as power
outage. Be sure to turn of the power according to the proper power-off procedure.
The battery life span of this unit also becomes shorter when it is used at high
temperatures. The life span is about five years when the unit is used under conditions in
which the ambient temperature is 25°C (77°F), but will be reduced to approximately half
(about two years and six months) when the ambient temperature rises by 10°C
(18°F).
