MegaRAID LSIiBBU08 Intelligent Battery Backup Unit Quick Installation Guide

Connecting the LSIiBBU08 Remotely to the MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller

NOTE:

Because server and workstation chassis vary from vendor to vendor, no standard 

mounting option exists that is compatible with the various system configurations. The 
LSIiBBU08 battery kit, in combination with the Remote Battery Kit, includes the battery, 
daughtercard, cable, and standoff. This combination enables authorized resellers and 
chassis manufacturers to customize the location of the remote battery to provide the 
most flexibility within various environments.

Removing the RAID Controller

from the Computer

Follow these steps to remove the RAID controller from the computer.

1. Turn off the power, and unplug the power cords.

2. Ground yourself and make sure the system is grounded.

3. Remove the cover from the computer, according to the instructions in the system 

user’s manual, to allow access to the controller.

4. Unplug all cables from the controller, remove the screw attaching the bracket to the 

computer chassis, and carefully remove the controller from the slot.

5. Place the controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface, and continue with the next 

procedure.

Installing the Interposer Card on

the Controller

Follow these steps to install the interposer card on the controller, as shown in 

Figure 6

.

1. With the controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface, ground yourself and make 

sure the system is grounded.

2. Remove the interposer card, standoff, and screws from the package.

3. Place the standoff on the controller so that the bottom side is over the screwhole 

next to the JT3 BBU connector on the controller.

4. Use one of the screws to secure the standoff to the controller.

CAUTION:

Center the screwdriver carefully to avoid stripping the screwhead. Do not 

overtighten the screws. 

5. Hold the interposer card so that the J1 board-to-board connector on the interposer 

card lines up with the JT3 board-to-board connector on the controller.

6. Carefully press the J1 connector on the interposer card into the JT3 connector on 

the controller so that the two connectors are firmly joined. 

The connectors fit only when they are in the correct alignment.

7. Use the other screw to secure the interposer card to the controller and continue 

with the next procedure.
