Installing the LSIiBBU05 Unit
2.2.1.6 Connecting the LSIiBB05 NiMH Unit Remotely to the RAID Controller
You can connect the LSIiBB05 NiMH unit remotely to the MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP RAID controller, using the supplied
12-in. cable. The battery backup unit must be mounted inside the chassis within 10 in. 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 LSIiBB05 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.
Follow these steps to install the LSIiBB05 unit remotely.
1. Ground yourself, and remove the LSIiBB05 unit from the package.
2. Use the three Phillips-head screws that are provided to secure the unit to the motherboard or server chassis.
3. Insert the battery pack harness connector at the end of the 5-pin cable into the J2 connector on the back side of
the LSIiBB05 unit.
4. Use the supplied 20-pin, 10-in. cable to connect the J1 connector on the LSIiBB05 unit to the J10 battery backup
connector on the back side of the MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP RAID controller, as shown in the following figure.
The connectors contain black triangles to help you install them correctly. Insert the cable connectors into the
controller connector and the iBBU connector so that the black triangles are aligned, as shown in the example in
the following figure.
