SUMMARY: fast writes on an SSA

It looks like some of the early SSA's were shipped without the "fast
write" capability. However, there is an upgrade option from Sun.
The best summary came from Joe Harman.
 
 
Mike,
 
I have attached a coupon you can send in to Sun and get a battery kit
(if they are still available).. When the SSA was first released it was
not released with the fast write feature (the firmware/software was not
ready for it), but a coupon was shipped with the systems so that it
could be acquired once the software and all were ready.
 
Fill out this coupon and send it in and if your SSA was in that range
of thoses shipped without batteries they should send you one.... Sounds
simple doesn't it....
 
The message is normal, we are only telling you that the fast write
feature is not available since you do not have the battery module....
If we had allowed you to enable it and you lost power you`d also lose
any data in the NVRAM at the time without the battery to keep it
up....
