Battery Backup Operations
The battery backup unit (BBU) provides the router with an emergency power source if the AC power
source is unavailable.
The router supports up to three BBU units installed at one time. The units are mounted on the router door
interior (
Figure 12-1
).
The total amount of time that the installed BBUs can supply power to the router depends on the
configuration of the FAR and how many BBUs are installed in the router.
The BBU can be installed in the router while the router is powered on and operating normally.
