2. Install the “six eaves copper pillars” on the three mounting 

position (NH1, NH2 and NH3) and secures it using round 

head screws.

3. Connector J1 is available for the optional battery backup 

module. Connect the BBM cable from this connector to the 

12-pin (J6) battery connector on the RAID storage controller.

4. Integrators provide pre-drilled holes in their cabinet for secur-
