MegaRAID CacheVault Flash Module 02 Quick Installation Guide
Before you install the MegaRAID® CacheVault™ Flash Module 02 (CVFM02) module, please take a few minutes to read
this guide. This guide describes the CVFM02 module and explains how to attach the module directly to the
MegaRAID SAS 9266-4i RAID controller and the MegaRAID SAS 9266-8i RAID controller. In addition, this guide
documents how to connect the CVFM02 module by cable to a CacheVault Power Module 02 (CVPM02) module that is
mounted on a remote mount board.
The CVFM02 module is a USB flash module that provides cache offload capability to protect cached data in case of
host power loss or server failure. The CVFM02 module is part of the CacheVault Module Kit LSICVM01, which also
includes a CVPM02 module, a clip, and a cable. The CVFM02 module attaches directly to the RAID controller, and then
it connects by cable to a remotely located CVPM02 module. The CVPM02 module is a super-capacitor pack that
provides power for the backup of your data.
For more information about the CVFM02 module, refer to the Cache Backup Products for MegaRAID SAS+SATA RAID
Controllers User Guide and the MegaRAID SAS 9266-4i and SAS 9266-8i RAID Controllers Quick Installation Guide on your
MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD.
