Step 6 Carefully press the iBBU05 onto the RAID
controller so that the two connectors are firmly
joined.
Step 7 Secure the iBBU05 to the RAID controller with the
M2.50-0.45 x 5mm screws and the 6mm
standoffs in the three screwholes.
The standoffs are threaded at both ends, and a
M2.50-0.45 x 5mm screw goes into each end.
Step 8 Use the Phillips-head screws that are provided to
secure the iBBU05 to the RAID controller.
Step 9 Install the RAID controller in a PCI Express slot
in the computer.

The iBBU05 does not mount directly to the SAS 8888ELP
RAID controller. Instead, use the supplied 12-inch cable to
connect the iBBU05 to a RAID controller. The battery backup
unit must be mounted inside the chassis within 12 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 iBBU05 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 iBBU05 remotely to the SAS
8888ELP RAID controller.
Step 1 Ground yourself, and remove the iBBU05 from
the package.
Step 2 Use the three Phillips-head screws that are
provided to secure the iBBU05 to the
motherboard or the server chassis.
Step 3 Insert the battery pack harness connector at the
end of the colored wires into the J2 connector on
the bottom side of the iBBU05.
Step 4 Connect the J1 connector on the iBBU05 to the
J10 battery backup connector on the backside of
the SAS 8888ELP RAID controller, as shown in
Figure 3 .
The iBBU05 does not connect directly to the
MegaRAID controllers. Instead, it uses the
supplied 20-pin, 10-inch cable to connect to a
controller. There are black triangles 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 triangles are aligned, as shown in the
example in
Figure 3 .

Center the screwdriver carefully to avoid stripping
the screw heads. Do not over-tighten the screws.
