Promise - VTrak - E - Class - Fibre Controller Einheit (512 MB) - Note: check for memory and BBU - REFURBISHED

In a busy data center, a storage administrator replaces a failed controller in a Promise VTrak E-Class array to restore high availability. This refurbished Fibre Channel controller module, equipped with 512 MB of DDR2 cache and a battery backup unit, plugs into the array and immediately resumes serving data to connected servers over dual 4 Gb Fibre Channel links.
