FUJITSU PRAID Option PY-FBR14 — RAID battery pack for PRaid EP5xx/EP6xx and RX2530 M6/M7

FUJITSU PRAID Option PY-FBR14 is a dedicated RAID battery pack designed for compatibility with Fujitsu PRaid EP5xx and EP6xx controllers and RX2530 M6/M7 servers. The module provides backup power to preserve write cache contents during power interruptions, helping to maintain data integrity and reduce the risk of data loss. It is intended for use in enterprise storage and server environments as a maintenance, replacement or upgrade component.

Advantages

The PY-FBR14 battery pack enables reliable retention of cached write data when the main power is lost, reducing the likelihood of data corruption. Its form factor and electrical interface are matched to specified Fujitsu PRAID controllers and server models for straightforward installation. By maintaining cache state during outages, this battery pack supports fast recovery and continued operation once power is restored. The design follows manufacturer specifications to ensure predictable behaviour and compatibility within supported systems.

Suitable for

• Enterprise servers using Fujitsu PRaid EP5xx or EP6xx storage controllers
• RX2530 M6 and M7 server models requiring PRAID write-cache protection
• IT maintenance tasks, component replacement and hardware upgrades in datacenters
• Environments where preserving write cache during short-term power loss is required

Key specifications

• Function: backup power for RAID write cache
• Compatibility: Fujitsu PRaid EP5xx and EP6xx controllers; RX2530 M6/M7 servers
• Purpose: protect cached writes during power interruptions
