3 of 4
unit must be mounted inside the chassis within 10 inches of
the RAID controller.
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 iBBU05 battery kit contains only the battery
and the 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 install the iBBU05 remotely.
Step 1
Ground yourself, and remove the iBBU05 from
the package.
Step 2
Use the three Phillips-head screws that are
provided to secure the iBBU05 to the
motherboard or to the server chassis.
Step 3
Insert the battery pack harness connector at the
end of the 5-pin cable into the J2 connector on
the bottom side of the iBBU05.
Note:
The cable connector is polarized and can be
inserted into the J10 board battery connector only
if the rails on the harness connector align with the
slots on the J10.
Do not
force the cable into the
20-pin in-line connector. The cable end inserts
into the connector with minimal resistance.
Step 4
Connect the J1 connector on the iBBU05 to the
J10 battery backup connector on the backside of
the SAS 8888ELP RAID controller, as shown in
Figure 4
.
The iBBU05 does not connect directly to the
MegaRAID controllers. Instead, it uses the
supplied 20-pin, 10-inch cable to connect to a
controller. There are black triangles on the
connectors to help you install them properly.
Insert the cable connectors into the controller
connector and the iBBU connector so that the
black triangles are aligned, as shown in the
example in
Figure 4
.

Warning:
If the iBBU05 is damaged in any way, toxic
chemicals may be released.
The material in the battery pack contains heavy metals that
can contaminate the environment. Federal, state, and local
regulations prohibit the disposal of rechargeable batteries in
public landfills. Be sure to recycle the old battery packs
properly. Comply with all applicable battery disposal and
hazardous material handling laws and regulations in the
country or other jurisdiction where you are using the iBBU05.
There is danger of an explosion if the battery is
incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
