  • Page 5: About The Intel Raid Smart Battery

    A battery backup unit protects the integrity of the cached data on Intel RAID controllers by providing backup power if there is a complete AC power failure or a brief power outage. The Intel RSBBUs provide an inexpensive alternative to using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or act as a second level of fault tolerance when used in conjunction with a UPS.

    The batteries in the RSBBUs must recharge for at least six hours during fast charge under normal operating conditions. To protect your data, Intel recommends that you set the RAID controller Write Policy to write- through until the battery unit is fully charged. When the battery unit is charged, you can change the Write Policy to write-back to take advantage of the performance improvements of data caching.
