This is a rescue of sorts... so I think I can post here :-)

I have an old Netapp F840 that I am trying to boot.  Having the 
following issue though:

So - the big 6 Volt cache battery has been replaced, however I'm unsure 
why I'm getting this message.  Could this be the CR2032 Battery on the 
mainboard?
If so - how can I set time and date at the OBP on a Netapp?

Thanks!
