Installing CBM for RAID Models 

 

NOTE 

Dual controller systems come with the BBU pre-install in the system while the FBM 

may be default or an optional item. For details, please refer to 

Cache Backup Module 

(CBM) for RAID Models

. 

The CBM (BBU + FBM) will be pre-installed for you if you ordered it as a part of the 

system. If you purchase the CBM afterwards as an upgrade component, please read 

and follow the instructions in this section carefully. 

The CBM consists of a battery backup unit (BBU) and flash backup module (FBM). 

The CBM can sustain cache memory in the event of a power failure or in the 

extremely unlikely event of both PSUs failing at the same time. The use of a CBM is 

highly recommended in order to safeguard data integrity. The CBM is an optional 

item for the single-controller model and can be ordered separately from your system 

vendor. The CBM has to be installed on the controller before rack-mounting the 

system.

Removing the RAID Controller   

1. 

Loosen the retention screw on the RAID controller ejection levers. 

2. 

Shift the ejection levers in the direction shown (indicated by the 

blue arrows

). 

The controller will ease out from chassis. 

 

1U system 

2U system 

 

Please read the following sections on how to install the battery and flash backup 

module onto the controller module. Always place the controller on a clean, static-free 

surface and hold the controller only by its metal canister and never touch the circuit 

board or connector pins.
