Carefully press the iBBU06 onto the RAID
controller so that the two connectors are firmly
joined.
Step 7
Secure the iBBU06 to the RAID controller with the
screws and the standoffs in the three screwholes.
The standoffs are threaded at both ends, and a
screw goes into each end.
Step 8
Use the Phillips-head screws that are provided to
secure the iBBU06 to the RAID controller.
Step 9

You can connect the iBB06 remotely to the 8708EM2 RAID
controller. Use the supplied 20-pin cable to connect the
iBBU06 to a RAID controller.
Because server chassis design and workstation chassis
design vary from vendor to vendor, there is no standard
mounting option that is compatible with the various system
configurations.
Therefore, the iBBU06 battery kit contains only the battery
and the cable, allowing value-added reseller’s (VAR) 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 iBBU06 remotely to the
RAID controller.
Step 1
Ground yourself, and remove the iBBU06 from
the package.
Step 2
Use the three Phillips-head screws that are
provided to secure the iBBU06 to the
motherboard or the server chassis.
Step 3
Insert the battery pack harness connector at the
end of the colored wires into the J4 connector on
the rear side of the iBBU06.
Step 4
Connect the J2 connector on the iBBU06 to the
J10 battery backup connector of the RAID
controller, as shown in
The iBBU06 does not connect directly to the MegaRAID
controllers. Instead, it uses the supplied 20-pin, 10-inch
cable to connect the iBBU06 to the RAID 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
.
