Supercapacitor pack

To protect controller module cache in case of power failure, each controller enclosure model is equipped 

with supercapacitor technology, in conjunction with CompactFlash memory, built into each controller 

module to provide extended cache memory backup time. The supercapacitor pack provides energy for 

backing up unwritten data in the write cache to the CompactFlash, in the event of a power failure. 

Unwritten data in CompactFlash memory is automatically committed to disk media when power is restored. 

In the event of power failure, while cache is maintained by the supercapacitor pack, the Cache Status LED 

flashes at a rate of 1/10 second on and 9/10 second off.

Do not remove

Used for cache recovery only
