Thank you for purchasing the LSI MegaRAID NiMH (Nickel
Metal Hydride) intelligent Battery Backup Unit 01
(LSIiBBU01). This Quick Installation Guide explains how to
install the LSI MegaRAID LSIiBBU01 Intelligent Battery
Backup Unit on a MegaRAID SATA 300 PCI-X to Serial ATA
controller. The LSIiBBU01 protects the cached data on the
MegaRAID controller by providing backup power if the main
AC power source fails or is interrupted.
The LSIiBBU01 is compliant with the Smart Battery Data
Specification, which relieves the host system from the
responsibility of communicating battery information and
charging the battery.
You can view information about the LSIiBBU01, such as
battery temperature and voltage, in the BIOS Configuration
Utility and the WebBIOS Configuration Utility. Battery
charging and recharging takes place automatically.
The following sections describe how to install the LSIiBBU01
and list the basic hardware specifications for it.
