This means that in the event of a power outage, all disk operations could complete and the system would not lose any data. On the top left is the battery for backing up the disk cache. There is also an Ethernet port on the card used for monitoring and management of the RAID server.
You can see from the photo below that the network interface card is integrated with a Fibre Channel connector for direct connection to the Xserve. The 14 drive slots are hosted by two controllers, one for bays 1-7, the other for bays 8-14.
It can be used in a Windows Server Message Block share, Unix Network File System and, of course, Apple File Sharing. The cost per gigabyte is also the lowest of all enterprise-quality RAID vendors, yet the device is just as solid and stable as its competitors. This unit is well thought out, an enterprise quality workhorse that provides multiple points of fault tolerance and hot swappability.
