Help me with this one.  I built a server with a hardware raid controller.  I 
noticed that Adaptec offers a backup battery module for it, but I don't 
understand the scenario when it would be used.  If the card can't get power 
from the motherboard, then there is likely no power to the drives.  I know I 
don't understand something here, can you enlighten me. :-)
