Cache Battery / Flash Power Modules (FPM)
Modern RAID cards on Lenovo ThinkSystem do not use traditional batteries as often as older cards; instead they use Flash Power Modules (FPM) that supply energy long enough for cache flush upon power loss.
Lenovo Flash Power Module (FPM) – for MegaRAID 9300/9400
Model / Part: Flash Power Module Kit
FRU Part Numbers:
• 03X9457 (example FPM kit for 9300/9400)

Use Case: Protects writes to cache in power loss events, avoiding data loss.
Lenovo Legacy RAID Battery / BBU Kit
Model / Part: RAID Battery Backup Unit (BBU) Kit
FRU Part Numbers: Varies by ServeRAID model (e.g., older M5000 series)
Description: Traditional lead-acid or Li-ion battery backup for caching on older ServeRAID cards.
Compatibility: Legacy cards such as ServeRAID M5000, M5014, etc.
Use Case: Provides energy reserve to flush controller cache upon power loss.
Compatibility & Notes
PCIe Form Factor
Modern Lenovo RAID cards use PCIe x8 or x16 interfaces and are compatible with standard PCIe expansion slots in rack/Tower servers — Verify slot width and physical bracket (FH/LP/FL) match your server chassis.
SAS/NVMe Config Support
MegaRAID 9300-series is primarily 12G SAS/SATA.
MegaRAID 9400-series adds improved support for NVMe + SAS arrays.
MegaRAID 9500-series targets PCIe Gen4 NVMe + SAS mixed media with improved performance.
FPM vs BBU
FPM (Flash Power Module) is widely used in modern ThinkSystem controllers as the recommended cache protection solution.
BBUs (Battery Backup Units) were used more in older controllers (M5000 series) and are slowly being replaced by FPM due to reliability/lifespan advantages.
