New Breakthrough in Technology: Zero Downtime!
Redundant Hot-Swap NVRAM Power Supply.

Never lose your system clock or NVRAM settings again.  These NVRAMs are
equipped with dual battery holders and a load balancing circut to provide
failover power protection for the settings on your Sun4c workstation.
Steering diodes in the circut to allow hot swapping of depleted cells (one at
a time) to ensure non-stop operation...
