CAUTION: Possible loss of data-Selecting the Enable write caching without batteries option lets write caching continue even when the batteries are discharged completely or are not fully charged. Typically, write caching is turned off temporarily by the RAID controller module until the batteries are charged. If you select this option and do not have a universal power supply for protection, you could lose data. In addition, you could lose data if you do not have RAID controller module batteries and you select the Enable write caching without batteries option. NOTE: When the Optional RAID controller module batteries option is enabled, the Enable write caching does not appear. The Enable write caching without batteries is still available, but it is not checked by default. NOTE: Cache is automatically flushed after the Enable write caching check box is disabled. 5 Click OK.
