Controller options

The server ships with an embedded Smart Array B120i controller. For more information about the controller
and its features, see the HP Dynamic Smart Array RAID Controller User Guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/smartstorage/docs).
To configure arrays, see the HP Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the HP website

For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see
the product QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/qs).
The server supports FBWC. FBWC consists of a cache module and a capacitor pack. The DDR cache module
buffers and stores data being written by the controller. When the system is powered on, the capacitor pack
fully charges in approximately 5 minutes. If a system power failure occurs, a fully charged capacitor pack
provides power for up to 80 seconds. During that interval, the controller transfers the cached data from DDR
memory to flash memory, where the data remains indefinitely or until a controller retrieves the data.
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 storage drives.
CAUTION:
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.
The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-DIMMs.
