The battery pack charges automatically and communicates battery status information, such as
voltage, temperature, and current, to the host computer system.
Because it is faster to write data to the RAID adapter’s cache memory than it is to write it
directly to a storage device, data is first written to the cache memory. These write operations
complete quickly at the software application level. The RAID controller then writes the cached
data to the storage device when system activity is low or when the cache is full.
