Main Storage

All main storage on the Model SB3 is base. The amount of main storage is determined by the
processor option.

Power and Packaging

The Model SB3 includes an internal battery that is automatically activated in the event of
utility power loss. The battery provides full operating power for a short time to all components
within the system unit, but not to any external components. This can allow the system to run
uninterrupted for a short time (30 seconds or less). For longer power outages, the system will
use the battery to attempt an orderly shutdown to avoid losing data in main storage that is not
written to disk. An external UPS is recommended to protect the system unit and any external
components against utility power outages. Continuously Powered Mainstore (CPM) is not
supported on the Model SB3. An external UPS can allow the system to run uninterrupted for
longer than thirty seconds when utility power is lost. It can also maintain power long enough
to ensure that the system successfully completes a shutdown to avoid losing data.
