Hello, we have a DL380 Gen9 with a Smart Array P440ar controller thats populated with 8x600GB 15k SAS drives. Using one array in a RAID 50 configuration.
My boss recently bought a HP Smart Array Cache Battery Kit (383280-B21) and told me to take the server down and install it. But, according to my research the P440ar is already provisioned with a battery / capacitor by default. HP Smart Storage Administrator shows that one battery / capcitor is installed.
Will taking down the server and installing this battery kit help anything? Can it even be installed on this controller?
Thanks much,
Stephen
