Replacing the Rear RAID Supercap Unit
This server supports installation of up to two supercap units, one for a front RAID controller and one for a
rear RAID controller. The rear supercap unit mounts to a clip on the air diffuser that wraps around the internal
drive module.
The supercap provides approximately three years of backup for the disk write-back cache DRAM in the case
of a sudden power loss by offloading the cache to the NAND flash.
