Installation
(for the single-controller S12F-G1433)
The BBU can sustain cache memory in the event of a power failure
or in the unlikely event of failing both PSUs. The use of a BBU is
highly recommended in order to avoid data inconsistency. The BBU
is an optional item for the S12F-G1433 and can be ordered
separately from your subsystem vendor. You may skip this section if
you are using an S12F-R1432 redundant-controller subsystem
because two (2) BBUs come as pre-installed components.
