Downloading the manual suggests this as the "I-button" and has a description for understanding its purpose. Basically it is meant to store instuctions to allow a hostraid to operate with mega-raid firmware. I do not know what this means but it sounds related to heavy and large array of raid managements.
contact tech support for further explanations regarding the I-button and/or download the manual at the link you provided.
