In the event of a power failure or low battery condition, the cache is written to <> mirrored local SCSI disks. Recovery software restores the cache when power returns. This RAM is not used <> by the operating system as general purpose memory but as NVRAM that is dedicated for caching disk reads <> and writes. The UPS is guaranteed to have sufficient energy after a battery low condition to flush the <> entire contents of the 1.7 GBytes of cache to a stable storage device. <> <> Spinnaker Networks, SpinServer, SpinStor and SpinFS are trademarks of Spinnaker Networks, Inc. in the United States. <> All other trademarks belong to their respective owners and should be treated as such. =============================================================================== Generated on Tue Oct 15 14:28:02 EDT 2002 by SPEC SFS97 ASCII Formatter Copyright (c) 1997-2002 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
