809.0. "Battery Cable Problem - It won't Fit!" by AUSSIE::BEVERIDGE (Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put in!) Wed Mar 12 1997 21:03

We have come across a problem with the 17-04321-02 cable for connection between
the Cache Module and the Battery on HSZ50s.

The connector ferrules on each side of the conatct area seem to have been
changed. Although the outside diameter has been retained, the wall is now
thicker. the result of this is that it will not fit over the mating posts on the
battery module and also the cache module.

I don't know whether anyone else has found this problem, but we have -
comprehensively! If this problem is known, and has been addressed, what is the
fix?

809.1	HSZ50 battery cache cable problem 17-04321-02	TIMAST::HUGHES		`Tue Mar 18 1997 15:41`	11
	I have also seen this problem and had to physically modify the cable to get it to attach properly to both the HSZ cache module and the battery. Also, manufacturing accidently shipped 3 of these cables with my HSZ pair. So I have an unmodified defective cable for whomever to disect. I have attempted an IPMT case but Colorado can't see the call that was logged. I will be issueing a IPMT case on this problem as soon as I get the opportunity to do it all over again. Dave
809.2	HSZ 50 Battery Cables	AUSSIE::BEVERIDGE		`Tue Mar 18 1997 22:03`	11
	I have also started an IPMT action via MCS here in Sydney. I presume that the deathly silence on this issue means that it has yet to be addressed. Is somebody looking into this? Regards Tim Beveridge CSS Sydney

	Is this a fairly new system? When did you recieve the hardware?
809.4	Shipped in December 96	TIMAST::HUGHES		`Wed Mar 19 1997 13:03`	7
	I received my hardware in December. The customer was slow in upgrading the HSZ40's to 50's due to unavailable downtime. I suspect it is a very small number of cables that were shipped have this problem. I have installed about 12 HSJ50's (which use the exact same cable) and have not seen the problem on any of them.

809.5	Bad connectors on some (all?) ECB cables with date code of 50/96	SSDEVO::THOMPSON	Paul Thompson, Colorado Springs	`Mon Mar 24 1997 10:27`	6
	Some bad connectors made it to some (all?) cables made with a date code of 50/96 on the cable. Most of these were caught in manufacturing, but obviuosly some made it to the field. Replacement cables should be fine. The bad connectors can be identified by a slot on the sides of the sleeves over the screws.
