Thanks a million to LC, Jez and others for the support.

Repair has worked and Win2k-ADV SERV is set up.

Second machine got added in the repair.

Second machine's battery got charged quickly but of former's battery's
problem continues, that of being "Array Acceletor Battery Charge Low".

Second machine with no battery problem has come up with its own
problem.

Upon starting the server, a message comes up,

"Boot Strap Processor is not lowest steping.
Recommend you change processos"

Both machines have problem of having to press F1 to start

Any way to fix the new problems?

The only way to fix the Array Accelerator battery problem is
to replace the battery module on the Smart Array card. Look for
the spare part number on the module, and do a Google search for
it. There are various suppliers for this, and other Compaq parts.

The second error message means you have two processors with
different stepping values. Intel uses stepping values to indicate
minor changes to their processors.

This error message can probably be eliminated by swapping
the two processors.

It is best to run a multiprocessor machine with two identical
processors. However, this does not mean there will necessarily
be problems if the stepping values are different. Look at the
Compaq part numbers on the processors when you swap them.
If they are the same part number, then they are compatible
processors.
