Appendix B
Flash-based Backup Module (ARC-1883-
BAT/CAP)
B-1 Overview
The ARC-1883-BAT/CAP kit includes the Flash-based module (FBM),
and one cable. The FBM features NAND flash memory and super
capacitor technology that provides cache offload capability to
pro-
tect cached data in case of system power loss. The ARC-1883-CAP
(Flash+Supercap) module is mounted super-capacitor pack that
provides power for
the backup of your data. The ARC-1883-BAT
(Flash+LiOn Battery) module is mounted battery pack that pro-
vides power for the backup of your data. When the module detects
loss of power,
the super capacitor keeps parts of the ARC-8088
RAID controller
active long enough to allow cache data to be copied
to the flash
memory. The module attaches directly to the 12 Gb/s
SAS RAID
controller by the cable.
