If there is an unplanned server power outage, the flash-backed write cache (FBWC) feature of HPE storage controllers requires a
centralized backup power source to back up the write cache data in a flash device. This server supports the following power options—
collectively known as energy pack:
HPE Smart Storage Battery
HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor
One energy pack supports multiple devices. After it is installed, the status of the energy pack appears in HPE iLO. For more

The HPE Smart Storage Battery supports both HPE SR and MR storage controllers.
A single 96 W battery can support up to 24 devices.
After the battery is installed, it might take up to two hours to charge. Controller features requiring backup power are not re-enabled
until the battery is capable of supporting the backup power.
This server supports the 96 W HPE Smart Storage Battery with the 145 mm cable.
HPEHPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor
The HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor supports both HPE SR and MR storage controllers.
The capacitor pack can support up to two devices.
This server supports the HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor with the 145 mm cable.
Before installing the HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor, verify that the system BIOS meets the minimum firmware requirements to
support the capacitor pack.
IMPORTANT:IMPORTANT:
If the system BIOS or controller firmware is older than the minimum recommended firmware versions, the capacitor
pack will only support one device.
The capacitor pack is fully charged after the system boots.
