* Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management may generate an incorrect “battery replacement” message in the system event log and the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Alert log during initialization on the Dell PowerEdge 1850, 1950, 2850, 2900, 2950, 6800 and 6850 systems with a PERC 5/I or PERC 5/e controller. Depending on system configuration, the following battery replacement alert-- "2169: The Controller battery needs to be replaced: Battery 0 Controller n" (where n denotes the controller number)-- may erroneously appear even though the battery is OK and does not need to be replaced. A new erroneous alert may also be logged intermittently on a system reboot. You can apply a patch to resolve this problem. The patch is available under "Drivers & Downloads" -> "Systems Management" -> "Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Updates".
