Installing the Transportable Battery Backup Unit (TBBU)
for PERC 5/E
This section describes the installation of the transportable battery backup unit (TBBU) on the
PERC 5/E.
CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the
components inside the system. Before performing any procedure, see your Product Information Guide for complete
information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic
discharge.
NOTE:
All work must be performed at an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)-safe workstation to meet the requirements
of EIA-625 - "Requirements For Handling Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Devices." All actions must be performed
following the IPC-A-610 latest revision ESD recommended practices.
NOTE:
Charge the PERC 5 battery before initial use to attain full functionality.
1 Unpack the TBBU and follow all antistatic procedures.
CAUTION:
When unpacking static sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component. Just before
unwrapping the antistatic package, ensure that you discharge static electricity from your body.
NOTICE:
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
NOTE:
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and work
bench pads.
2 With the DIMM removed from the controller, insert one end of the battery pack harness (the red,
white, yellow, and green wires) into the connector on the memory module and the other end into the
connector on the battery.
3 Place the top edge of the battery over the top edge of the memory module so that the arms on the side
of the battery fit into their sockets on the memory module. See Figure 3-3.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive components. Always use proper antistatic
protection when handling components. Touching components without using a proper ground can damage
the equipment.
