NOTE
The super capacity battery is only charged partially when shipped. Therefore, after
powering on the system, the super capacity battery will start charging to its full
capacity. It normally requires approximately twelve hours for the battery to be fully
charged. If the battery is not fully charged, well after 12 hours, there may be a
problem with the battery and you should contact your system vendor immediately.
You can also check the status of the battery module via SANWatch or the firmware
(please refer to respective manuals).
