8.1.5

The FFx-BBU (Battery Backup Unit) Module

The purpose of the FFx-BBU module is to provide AC glitch ride-through
wherein power loss is momentary for maintaining cache data content.

A short power loss cycle may result in loss of FFx-RAID controller availability
while the controllers re-boot. The FFx-BBU module guaranties that in this time
no cache memory data will be lost.

Depending on the cache memory size and the battery condition the
FFx-BBU module is capable to maintaining cache memory content for many
hours.

V

CAUTION!

The FFx-BBU module is not intended to protect memory contents in the
event of accidental removal while the FFx-RAID controller module is in
operation. A normally operating FFx-RAID controller module should be
shut down prior to removal from the system.
