Battery Backup Module (ARC-6120BA-

C-1 Overview

The 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller operates using cache memory. The

Battery Backup Module is an add-on module that provides power

to the 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller cache memory in the event of a

cache on the 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller, and provides power to

the cache memory if it contains data not yet written to the hard

drives when power failure occurs.
