Page 42: Battery Backup Module (Bbm)
Hardware Installation Guide The external RAID controller operates using cache memory .The battery Backup Module is an add-on module that provides power to the external RAID controller cache memory in the event of a power failure. The Battery Backup Module monitors the write back cache on the external RAID controller, and provides power to the cache memory if it contains data not yet written to the hard drives when power failure occurs. - Page 43 Appendix B. Battery Back up Module Install Battery board ( ARC-8006-2) into controller’s J7 ( AN-6)/J8 (AN-7) connector, location is shown as bellowing : Insert the 3pin Connector into Battery Board’s ( ARC8006-2) JA2 connector. Install the BBM and fasten 4 screws.on BBM carrier. ...
- Page 44 Hardware Installation Guide Plug the BBM carrier into the controller and fasten the thumb screws. Battery Backup Capacity Battery backup capacity is defined as the maximum duration of a power failure for which data in the cache memory can be maintained by the battery.
