LSIiBBU01 Connection to a MegaRAID Controller via

Cable Installation Instructions

The MegaRAID LSIiBBU01 is an intelligent battery-backup module that protects the integrity of the cached data on a

MegaRAID controller for up to 72 hours in the event of a complete AC power failure.

The LSIiBBU01 is used with the following RAID controllers:

• MegaRAID SAS 8308ELP

• MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP

• MegaRAID SAS 84016E

• MegaRAID SATA 300-8ELP

• MegaRAID SATA 300-8XLP

The LSIiBBU01 does not connect directly to these

MegaRAID controllers. Instead, it uses the supplied 20-pin,

10-inch cable to connect to a controller. There are black dots 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 dots are aligned, as shown in the

example in Figure 1

.

The battery backup 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 LSIiBBU01 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.

Important: For more information about the LSIiBBU01 battery backup unit, refer to the MegaRAID

Battery Backup Unit User’s Guide on the

MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD.

The LSIiBBU01 is compliant with the Smart Battery Data

Specification, which relieves the host system from the responsibility of communicating battery information and charging the battery.

You can view information about the LSIiBBU01, such as battery temperature and voltage, in the BIOS Configuration

Utility and the WebBIOS Configuration Utility.
