5.2 Connecting the ServeRAID-MR10is iBBU Remotely
This section contains the procedures used to install the ServeRAID-
MR10is iBBU for remote connection to the ServeRAID-MR10si controller.
You have to perform the following tasks to connect the iBBU remotely to
the controller:
– Remove the controller from the computer
– Remove the iBBU from the controller (the iBBU comes installed
on the controller)
– Mount the iBBU on the chassis
– Mount the daughtercard on the controller
– Re-install the controller
– Connect the controller to the remote iBBU using the
daughtercard and 12-inch cable (the battery backup unit must be
mounted inside the chassis within 10 inches of the controller
Note: Because server and workstation chassis vary from vendor
to vendor, there is no standard mounting option that is
compatible with the various system configurations.
Therefore, the ServeRAID-MR10is iBBU battery kit
contains only the battery, daughtercard, and cable, allowing
VAR’s and chassis manufacturers to customize the location
of the remote battery to provide the most flexibility within
various environments.
Follow these steps to remove the controller from the computer.
Step 1. Shut down the computer, turn off the power, and unplug the
power cords.
Step 2. Remove the cover from the computer according to the
instructions in the system user’s manual to allow access to the
controller.
Step 3. Unplug all cables from the controller, remove the screw
attaching the bracket to the computer case, and carefully
remove the controller from the slot.
Step 4. Place the controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface, and
continue with the next procedure.
