Using the Array Configuration Utility 6 Specify the write caching setting for the array. The possible values are: ■ Enable when protected-If supported, enables the write cache only when a battery is present and the battery's charge status is OK. ■ Enable always-If supported, enables the write cache even if no battery is present or the battery's charge status is not OK. Note that setting an array's write cache property to Enable always might result in data loss or corruption if power to the controller is lost when no battery is present or the battery loses its charge. ■ Disable-Disables use of the write cache. 7 When you are finished, press Done.
