Compatible RAID Controllers

The LSI 05-50038-00 CacheVault module protects cached data on MegaRAID SAS 9361-16i and 9380-8i8e controllers. It uses flash memory to preserve write-back cache during unexpected power loss. Server administrators managing these specific cards add this accessory to prevent data corruption. Builders using different RAID adapters or non-LSI HBAs cannot use this module.

Installation and Common Issues

The module plugs directly into the designated CacheVault header on the supported controller boards. No cables or external power connections are required for the installation. A frequent problem occurs when the module is seated incorrectly, causing the controller to report a missing or failed CacheVault at boot. Firmware on the RAID card must also recognise the module; outdated controller firmware can prevent the CacheVault from initialising properly.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the CacheVault module is protecting the 9361-16i controller after installation?

The module mounts directly on the 9361-16i or 9380-8i8e controller and uses its CacheVault technology to preserve cached data during power loss; the controller BIOS or MegaRAID Storage Manager will report the CacheVault status as optimal when it is functioning correctly.

What comes with the 05-50038-00 CacheVault module and what else is needed to use it?

The package contains the CacheVault flash module itself; it requires a compatible LSI MegaRAID SAS 9361-16i or 9380-8i8e controller, which must be purchased separately.
