Installing the FBWC capacitor pack

CAUTION:

The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-DIMM

pinout. Do not use the controller with cache modules designed for other controller models,
because the controller can malfunction and you can lose data. Also, do not transfer this cache

module to an unsupported controller model, because you can lose data.

To install the component:

1.

Back up all data.

2.

Close all applications.

CAUTION:

In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be

powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system

does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.
