RAID Controller Module—Additional Features

Battery Backup Unit

Each RAID controller contains a two-cell lithium ion nanopolymer battery
backup unit (BBU). It provides power to the RAID controller module in the
event of a power outage, see "RAID Controller Module Backup Battery Unit"
on page 202.
NOTE:
For virtual disks, the RAID controller firmware changes the data cache
setting based on the state of the battery. If the battery is missing or does not have
sufficient charge, the controller flushes the cache and sets the write cache
attribute to Write Through for all virtual disks. When the battery is replaced, Write
Back is re-enabled.
