SRAM and/or battery options

With any SRAM-equipped controller, including the “onboard SRAM” JACE controllers like the JACE-8000, JACE-6E, and JACE-3E, there are two different ways to utilize SRAM. There is also a scenario in which you may elect not to make use of SRAM, even if the controller includes it standard (onboard).

Battery-less JACE (with SRAM)	JACE with SRAM plus backup battery	JACE using only backup battery
JACE-8000/JACE-6E/JACE-3E (SRAM card unnecessary)	JACE-6E/JACE-3E (SRAM card unnecessary)	JACE-6E/JACE-3E or JACE-6 series
This is the “battery-less” controller configuration for the Niagara implementation of SRAM. No backup battery (NiMH or otherwise) is attached to the JACE. This configuration also applies to the JACE-8000 controllers (not shown), which do not support battery backup.	Since NiagaraAX 3.6.44 or later, an SRAM-equipped JACE can utilize both SRAM and an installed backup battery, like the NiMH battery pack shown above.	Sometimes a station is a poor candidate for SRAM support. Disabling SRAM operation is best in this case, even if “onboard” SRAM.
