Avago Technologies MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 - Manual

The LSI MegaRAID LSIiBBU06 is an intelligent battery
backup unit (iBBU) that protects the integrity of the cached
data on a MegaRAID controller for up to 72 hours in the
event of a complete AC power failure or a brief power
outage.
This quick installation guide explains how to install the
iBBU06 on the MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 RAID controller.
It also explains how to connect the iBBU06 remotely.
LSI provides a family of MegaRAID 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.
Figure 1 shows the front view and the rear view of the
iBBU06. The front view is the side that you can see after you
install the iBBU06 on the RAID controller. Note that iBBU06
combines a battery pack with a daughtercard. iBBU06 uses
screws and standoffs to connect to the controller.
