MegaRAID LSIiBBU07 Intelligent Battery Backup Unit Quick
Installation Guide
Thank you for purchasing the LSI® MegaRAID® LSIiBBU07 product. Before you install your RAID controller, take a few
minutes to read this quick installation guide. This guide explains how to install the LSIiBBU07 unit directly on your
RAID controller or connect the LSIiBBU07 unit remotely to the RAID controller.
LSI provides a family of MegaRAID intelligent battery backup units (iBBUs) for use with its high-performance
MegaRAID RAID controllers. The LSI MegaRAID iBBUs provide an inexpensive alternative to using an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) and a second level of fault tolerance when used with a UPS.
If you need more information about any topic covered in this guide, refer to the related documents on your MegaRAID
Universal Software Suite CD.
