Installing the LSIiBBU05 Unit
2.2.2.6 Connecting the LSIiBB05 LiON Unit Remotely to the RAID Controller
You can use the supplied 12-in. cable to connect the LSIiBB05 unit remotely to the MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP RAID
controller. The battery backup unit must be mounted inside the chassis within 10 in. of the RAID controller.
NOTE 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 LSIiBBU05 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 J3 connector on the back side of
the LSIiBB05 unit.
4. 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
following figure.
