Notes
1. Any empty drive bays must be fitted with blanking panels to maintain proper cooling airflow.
2. The flash-backed write cache provides RAID controller cache protection using NAND flash memory and a
supercapacitor. In the event of a power or server failure, cached data is automatically transferred from the
RAID controller DRAM write cache to flash. Once power is restored, the data in the NAND flash is copied back
into the DRAM write cache until it can be flushed to the disk drives.
