LSI LSICVM02 CacheVault Kit 9361-8i 1GB +Bracket

Compatible RAID Card

The CacheVault kit is designed for the Broadcom Megaraid 9361-8i controller equipped with 1GB of cache memory. It protects stored write data during unexpected power loss by using a supercapacitor backup module. Server administrators who manage arrays on that specific card gain data-integrity assurance without battery maintenance. Buyers with different RAID controllers or cache sizes cannot use this kit.

Installation Requirements

The package includes a mounting bracket that secures the CacheVault module inside a standard server chassis. A free internal mounting point and the dedicated connector on the 9361-8i card are required for attachment. No additional cabling or external power source is needed because the supercapacitor draws charge directly from the controller. Systems lacking the correct header or physical space must add the necessary hardware first.

Operational Benefit

Once installed, the supercapacitor automatically preserves cache contents for the duration of a power outage, eliminating the periodic battery replacements older modules demand. The 1GB cache capacity on the paired card remains fully available for write-back acceleration. There is no management software included; configuration is handled through the existing Megaraid firmware utilities already used for the controller.
