Off

Flashing (2 Hz)

The system is powered down, and the cache contains data that has not

 

 

yet been written to the drives. Restore system power as soon as

 

 

possible to prevent data loss.

 

 

Data preservation time is extended any time that 3.3 V auxiliary

 

 

power is available, as indicated by LED 2. In the absence of auxiliary

 

 

power, battery power alone preserves the data. A fully-charged

 

 

battery can normally preserve data for at least 2 days.

 

 

The battery lifetime also depends on the cache module size. For more

 

 

information, see the controller QuickSpecs on the HP website

 

 

(http://www.hp.com).

 

 

 

Off

Double flash, then

The cache microcontroller is waiting for the host controller to

 

pause

communicate.

Off

Flashing (1 Hz)

The battery pack is below the minimum charge level and is being

 

 

charged. Features that require a battery (such as write cache, capacity

 

 

expansion, stripe size migration, and RAID migration) are unavailable

 

 

temporarily until charging is complete. The recharge process takes

 

 

between 15 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the initial capacity of

 

 

the battery.

 

 

 

Off

On

The battery pack is fully charged, and posted write data is stored in the

 

 

cache.

 

 

 

Off

Off

The battery pack is fully charged, and no posted write data exists in

 

 

the cache.

Flashing (1 Hz)

Flashing (1 Hz)

An alternating green and amber flashing pattern indicates that the

 

 

cache microcontroller is executing from within its boot loader and

 

 

receiving new flash code from the host controller.

 

 

 

On

A short circuit exists across the battery terminals or within the battery

 

 

pack. BBWC features are disabled until the battery pack is replaced.

 

 

The life expectancy of a battery pack is typically more than 3 years.

 

 

 

Flashing (1 Hz)

An open circuit exists across the battery terminals or within the battery

 

 

pack. BBWC features are disabled until the battery pack is replaced.

 

 

The life expectancy of a battery pack is typically more than 3 years.
