1.2 LSIiBBU09 Intelligent Battery Backup Unit
The MegaRAID 9271 RAID controllers support the LSIiBBU09 unit, which you can attach directly to the RAID controller
or connect remotely to the RAID controller by cable. The MegaRAID LSIiBBU09 unit is based on the Lithium ion (LiON)
battery cell technology. The LSIiBBU09 unit protects the integrity of the cached data on a MegaRAID RAID controller
for up to 48 hours (depending on the derated retention time selected) in case of a complete AC power failure or a brief
power outage.
For more information about the LSIiBBU09 unit and how to install the unit, refer to the MegaRAID LSIiBBU09 Intelligent
Battery Backup Unit Quick Installation Guide or the Cache Backup Products for MegaRAID SAS+SATA RAID Controllers User
Guide on the MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD.
