Guidelines
Make sure the power fail safeguard module is compatible with the storage controller. For the
compatibility matrix, see "Storage controllers."
The supercapacitor might have a low charge after the power fail safeguard module is installed or
after the server is powered up. If the system displays that the supercapacitor has low charge, no
action is required. The system will charge the supercapacitor automatically. You can view the status
of the supercapacitor from the BIOS.
You cannot install the HBA-H460-B1 or RAID-P460-B4 storage controller on a server installed with
one of the following storage controllers:
•
HBA-LSI-9300-8i-A1-X.
•
HBA-LSI-9311-8i.
•
HBA-LSI-9440-8i.
•
RAID-LSI-9361-8i(1G)-A1-X.
•
RAID-LSI-9361-8i(2G)-1-X.
•
RAID-LSI-9460-8i(2G).
•
RAID-LSI-9460-8i(4G).
•
RAID-LSI-9460-16i(4G).
Each supercapacitor has a short supercapacitor cable attached to it and requires an extension cable
for storage controller connection. The required extension cable varies by supercapacitor model and
storage controller model. Use
to determine the extension cable to use.

You can install a supercapacitor on the processor mezzanine board or in a supercapacitor container.
The installation location varies by supercapacitor model.
