Host Channel LED Link/Rate Indications

Below each FC port is a pair of LED indicators. The status of any FC port can

be determined by applying Table 3-1 to the condition of each LED pair.

RAID Controller Module—Additional Features

Battery Backup Unit

Each RAID controller contains a two-cell Lithium ion nanopolymer battery

backup unit (BBU). It provides power to the RAID controller module in the

event of a power outage, see "RAID Controller Module Backup Battery Unit"

on page 255.

NOTE:

For virtual disks, the RAID controller firmware changes the data cache

setting based on the state of the battery. If the battery is missing or does not have

sufficient charge, the controller flushes the cache and sets the write cache

attribute to Write Through for all virtual disks. When the battery is replaced, Write

Back is re-enabled.
