Energy pack options
If there is an unplanned server power outage, the flash-backed write cache (FBWC) feature of storage
controllers requires a centralized backup power source to back up the write cache data in a flash device. This
server supports the following power options—collectively known as energy pack:
•
Smart Storage Battery
•
Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor
One energy pack supports multiple devices. After it is installed, the status of the energy pack appears in iLO.

Smart Storage Battery
The Smart Storage Battery supports both SR and MR storage controllers. A single
96 W battery can support up to 24 devices.
After the battery is installed, it might take up to two hours to charge. Controller features requiring backup
power are not re-enabled until the battery is capable of supporting the backup power.
This server supports the 96 W Smart Storage Battery with the 145 mm cable.
Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor
The Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor supports both SR and MR storage controllers. The
capacitor pack can support up to two devices.
This server supports the Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor with the 145 mm cable.
Before installing the Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor, verify that the system BIOS meets the minimum firmware
requirements to support the capacitor pack.
IMPORTANT: If the system BIOS or controller firmware is older than the minimum recommended
firmware versions, the capacitor pack will only support one device.
The capacitor pack is fully charged after the system boots.
