Features
The MegaRAID LSIiBBU07 / LSIiBBU08 is an innovative, industry-exclusive
module and offers intelligent monitoring capabilities, accessible via ServerView
RAID.
The capabilities of the LSIiBBU07 / LSIiBBU08 include monitoring the battery
status and power levels as well as the ability to recondition and calibrate the
battery for improved reliability. It maintains data in the cache in the case of
powerfail (see data sheet for hold time duration).
4.2.5.2
Installation
The LSIiBBU07 / LSIiBBU08 supports remote connection to the Modular RAID
Controller "RAID Ctrl SAS 6G 5/6 512 MB (D2616)".
The LSIiBBU07 / LSIiBBU08 is not installed directly on the RAID controller.
Instead, use one of the supplied cables to connect the LSIiBBU07 / LSIiBBU08
to the RAID controller. The battery backup unit must be mounted inside the
chassis.
I
Because server chassis vary, there is no standard mounting option that
is compatible with all the different system configurations. Refer to your
server’s Options Guide or Upgrade and Maintenance Manual for
mounting details.
Therefore, the LSIiBBU07 / LSIiBBU08 battery kit contains only the
battery and a set of cables, allowing you to customize the location of the
remote battery to provide the most flexibility within different
environments.
