Supercap Power Module (RAID Backup Unit)
This server supports installation of one supercap power module (SCPM) backup unit. The unit mounts
directly to the Cisco modular RAID controller card inside the server node. The unit comes already
attached to the card and is not sold as a separate component.
The SCPM provides approximately 3 years of backup for the disk write-back cache DRAM in the case
of sudden power loss by offloading the cache to the NAND flash.
