45E8618 IBM N3400 Storage Controller with Battery
ibm
Enterprise-grade legacy PCM storage controller node bundled with a 46X1313 7.2V cache backup battery pack, engineered to provide high-availability data routing and write-cache protection for IBM N3400 systems.
The 45E8618 is an internal legacy enterprise-class storage controller canister module designed for IBM N series NAS gateways. This processing component acts as the hardware brain of the storage array, directing network protocols, input/output data pathways, and RAID volume structures across connected drive shelves. This specific module comes bundled with a 46X1313 rechargeable lithium-ion cache backup battery pack (7.2V, 2.9Ah, 9Wh). The integrated battery is crucial for data protection, keeping flight data intact inside the controller's volatile write-cache buffer during sudden datacenter power dropouts to prevent data corruption.
