FAQ
What is the primary function of the Cisco UCS-SCAP-M6 SuperCap Battery?
The UCS-SCAP-M6 provides backup power to RAID controllers in Cisco rack servers during power interruptions. This ensures that data cached in controller memory is safely written to permanent storage before shutdown, preventing data loss and maintaining RAID array integrity in enterprise server environments.
Which Cisco server models are compatible with this SuperCap battery?
This battery is compatible with Cisco M6 generation rack servers including HX-C220-M6S, HX-C240-M6L, HX-C240-M6S, HX-C240-M6SN, HX-C240-M6SX series, and UCSC-C220-M6S, UCSC-C240-M6L, UCSC-C240-M6S, UCSC-C240-M6SN, UCSC-C240-M6SX, UCSC-C245-M6SX models. The compatibility list includes multiple variants with different configurations and regional versions.
How does this battery protect against data loss in server environments?
When main power is interrupted, the SuperCap battery immediately provides backup power to the RAID controller. This allows the controller to complete writing any cached data to the storage drives before shutting down, preventing data corruption and loss that could occur if cached data was lost during an unexpected power failure.
What type of battery technology does the UCS-SCAP-M6 use?
This module uses proprietary SuperCap (supercapacitor) battery technology specifically designed for Cisco server applications. The proprietary battery size and technology are optimized for the rapid charge/discharge cycles and reliability requirements of enterprise server environments where data protection is critical.
Is this battery suitable for non-Cisco servers or other applications?
No, the UCS-SCAP-M6 is specifically designed for Cisco M6 generation rack servers and their integrated RAID controllers. The proprietary design, compatibility, and integration are optimized for these specific Cisco systems and are not intended for use with other server brands or different applications.
Why is a specialized battery needed for RAID controller backup?
RAID controllers often cache data in memory to improve performance, which creates vulnerability during power events. A specialized battery like the UCS-SCAP-M6 provides the precise voltage, discharge characteristics, and integration needed to protect this cached data. Generic batteries lack the proper interface and performance characteristics required for this specific server protection application.
