Chapter 2: Hardware and Software Setup

Figure 1 CiB Syncro CS 9271-8i Configuration

The Syncro CS 9271-8i controllers in the kit include the CacheVault Module Kit LSICVM01, which consists of a
CacheVault Flash Module 02 (CVFM02), a CacheVault Power Module 02 (CVPM02), a clip, and a cable.

The CVFM02 module is an onboard 1-GB DDR3 1333 MT/s USB flash module that is pre-installed on the Syncro CS
controller. The CVPM02 module is a super-capacitor pack that offers an intelligent backup power supply solution. The
CVPM02 module provides both capacitor charge maintenance and capacitor health monitoring functions similar to
those of an intelligent battery backup unit.

If a power failure occurs, the CVPM02 module unit provides power to transfer the cache memory contents from DRAM
to a nonvolatile flash memory array on the CVFM02 module the next time the controller is powered on. Cached data
can then be written to the storage devices.

NOTE

The CVFM02 modules come pre-installed on the Syncro CS 9271-8i
controllers.
