Battery-backed write cache option

The server supports multiple memory modules and RAID levels:

256 MB supports RAID 0, 1, 10

512 MB supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10

CAUTION:

To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove

the battery pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration

is in progress.

IMPORTANT:

The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST

error message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is
temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically
recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. This process might take up to four hours.

During this time, the cache module functions properly, but without the performance advantage of
the battery pack.

NOTE:

The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When power

is restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the hard drives.
