Data in the cache memory is preserved against power failures. If a power outage occurs,
data in cache memory is written to drives.
When the storage system enters Cache Backup mode, the amber
WARNING
LED goes on
to when the system starts. This warning indicates that the battery charge has dropped
significantly and the remaining battery capacity is not sufficient; the storage system will
continue operating with the Write Cache function disabled.
When the battery is charged, the warning indication disappears, and the storage system
continues the operation in the Write Cache function.
The warning indication disappears within six hours. Even when the warning is shown,
normal operation is assured in Write-Through. Read and write performance is lowered
because the Write Cache function is disabled.
If the storage system is not charged for more than six months, the battery can become
overcharged and sustain unrecoverable damage. To avoid this situation, charge the
battery more than 3 hours every six months.
