Installation Instructions
1
Decide which expansion slot locations to use for the 3ware
RAID controller and the remote battery board.
For the remote battery board, consider ventilation and
convenience of access for battery replacement. If possible,
leave an space for airflow around the remote battery board.
2
Remove the metal filler brackets for the expansion slots.
Save the screws; they will be used to secure the 3ware RAID
controller and remote battery board after you have installed
them in the slots.
3
Attach the BBU control module to your 3ware RAID
controller, as described in the Installation Guide.
4
If necessary, attach the extension cable to the BBU control
module in order to reach the intended location of the remote
battery board.
5
Install your 3ware RAID controller. Refer to your 3ware RAID
controller Installation Guide for details.
6
If your enclosure is low-profile, unscrew the full height bracket
from the remote battery board and replace it with the included
low-profile bracket, using the same screws.
7
Select the battery location on the remote battery board.
The battery can be mounted in 3 different positions, as marked
on the board (see Figure 1). Use the position that will make it
easiest to connect the battery power cable to the BBU control
module on the 3ware RAID controller.
