PRODUCTION DATA.
The battery or the super capacitor needs to be designed to have enough capacity to maintain the power long enough for the backup procedure to be completed. At a backup speed of 128 MB/sec, it takes about 10 seconds per 1 GB to either backup or restore the data. Typically a super capacitor is preferred for its longer life of operation. The super capacitor is usually a separate module and is connected to the NVDIMM via a cable.
NVDIMMs require support from the system motherboard. When plugged in, the BIOS must recognize the NVDIMMs. Manufacturers who control the BIOS and MRC (memory reference code) can make the necessary code changes to implement NVDIMMs into their servers.
