1 About the Intel® RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit AXXRMFBU2 Intel® Integrated RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) Modules provide reliability, high performance, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management. A complete fault-tolerant strategy requires protection of all data, including the unwritten cached data in the RAM cache. If power is lost, the data in the RAM cache is lost.
2 Installing the Hardware The Intel® RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit AXXRMFBU2 pack attaches to the RAID modules remotely. Figure 1 displays the top view of the Intel® RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit AXXRMFBU2. The 26-pin connector (see letter A for the location of this connector) is used to remotely connect to an Intel® Integrated RAID module using the supplied cable. ® Figure 1.
Important Pre-installation Considerations Warning: Make sure that you are grounded and/or use a ground strap before touching the RAID module or the Intel® RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit AXXRMFBU2. Perform all installation work at and ESD-safe workstation. Use an ESD-safe Phillips* screwdriver set to a maximum torque of 2.25 inch-pounds, and be sure the screwdriver is centered in the screw to avoid damaging the screw head.
1. Make sure that you are grounded and take the Intel® RAID Maintenance Free backup Unit AXXRMFBU2 out of the package. 2. Verify that the RMFBU2 Cache Offload Module and SuperCap2 are installed in the plastic bracket already. 3. Select a suitable cable from two cables provided for your system. 4. Carefully and lightly grasp the base of the cable. Make sure the yellow pin 1 of the cable is in alignment with the yellow mark on the board connector.
Note: Carefully observe how the cable connectors are keyed and avoid asserting unnecessary force when plugging in the cable. Do not insert at an angle. Doing so will cause connector deformation or damage. Warning: 1. Make sure the yellow pin 1 of the cable is in alignment with the yellow mark on the board connector. Press the connector with your finger and insert with the connector parallel (see A in Figure 3). Do not try to insert cable backwards.
Connecting the Plastic RMFBU2 Holder to the Chassis The Intel® RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit AXXRMFBU2 is designed for easy attachment to either an Intel® pedestal or rack mount chassis. Complete the following instructions for your server. If you are installing this component into a third-party chassis, you must first install an attachment mechanism, such as industrial-grade Velcro*.
Figure 6. Seating the RAID Module 3. Connect the proper cables into the adapter using the 4-port combined end. Make sure the module and cables are properly attached and plug the cable into connector at the inside edge of the adapter. 4. Tie the RMFBU2 Cache-offload Module cable and the data cable together with a strap tie that is provided, as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7.
Figure 8. Installing the Barrel Standoff 2. Attach the RAID to the matching server board connector, and press the module card firmly to engage the barrel standoffs installed in step 1. Press down gently but firmly to ensure that the card is properly seated in the connectors, and then insert the four pin standoffs into the barrel standoffs respectively. The Intel® RAID Module RM25PB080 is shown for illustrative purpose (see Figure 9). ® Figure 9. Installing the Intel Integrated RAID Module 3.
3 Monitoring RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit Multiple utilities are available to display and configure the RMFBU2 information. Note: This chapter describes only the RMFBU2 related features of the utility programs. For complete information on these utilities, see the Intel® RAID Software User’s Guide. Monitoring the SuperCap with the Intel® RAID BIOS Configuration Utility The Intel® RAID BIOS Console can be used to configure disk arrays and logical drives.
Using Intel® RAID Web Console 2 To view the status of all RMFBU2 connected to RAID modules in the server, select the Physical tab in the left panel of the Intel® RAID Web Console 2. To see the RMFBU2, select the controller. The RMFBU2 appears as the last item on the list under that module (see Figure 11). An icon (small green or red icon) appears in the left pane to indicate the RMFBU2 status. The green indicates normal operation and the red indicates the RMFBU2 has failed. ® Figure 11.
4 RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit Specifications MegaRAID CacheVaultTM Technology LSI* MegaRAID CacheVaultTM flash cache protection uses NAND flash memory powered by a supercapacitor to protect data stored in the MegaRAID controller cache. This module eliminates the need for a lithium ion battery traditionally used to protect DRAM cache memory on PCI RAID controllers.
