Page 17: Important Pre-Installation Considerations
RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8 must charge for at least six hours during fast charge, under normal operating conditions. To protect your data, Intel recommends that you set the RAID Controller Write Policy to write-through until the battery unit is fully charged. When the battery unit is charged, you can change the Write Policy to write-back to take advantage of the performance improvements of data caching. -
