MegaRAID LSIiBBU08 Intelligent Battery Backup Unit Quick Installation Guide
Quick Installation Guide
MegaRAID® LSIiBBU08 Intelligent Battery Backup Unit
The LSI™ MegaRAID LSIiBBU08 is an intelligent battery backup unit (iBBU) that 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.
Thank you for purchasing the LSI MegaRAID LSIiBBU08. Before you install your RAID
controller, please take a few minutes to read this quick installation guide. If you need
more information about any topic covered in this guide, refer to the related documents
on your MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD.
This quick installation guide explains how to install the LSIiBBU08 directly or remotely
with your RAID controller. The LSIiBBU08, which is based on Lithium ion (LiON) battery
cell technology, can be used in two application modes:
Mode 1: The LSIiBBU08 uses a small board-to-board connector to mount directly to the
following SAS RAID controllers:

MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i

MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i

MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i

MegaRAID SAS 9280-4i4e

MegaRAID SAS 9280-8e
Mode 2: The LSIiBBU08 connects remotely to the following SAS RAID controllers using
a 12-inch cable or, where applicable (*), a 12-inch cable and a remote interposer board
that are sold separately in a Remote Battery Kit:

MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i*

MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i*

MegaRAID SAS 9260-16i

MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i

MegaRAID SAS 9280-4i4e

MegaRAID SAS 9280-8e

MegaRAID SAS 9280-16i4e

MegaRAID SAS 9280-24i4e
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.

Controller
Installing the LSIiBBU08 Directly on the MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller
This section describes how to install the LSIiBBU08 directly on the MegaRAID SAS
9280-8e RAID controller. You can connect the LSIiBBU08 in the same way to the other
MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers that use this iBBU. For information about the BBU
connectors on these controllers, see the MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID Controllers User’s
Guide.
Perform the following tasks described in this section, in order, to connect the LSIiBBU08
directly to the RAID controller:
1. Removing the RAID Controller from the Computer
2. Installing the LSIiBBU08 on the RAID Controller
3. Reinstalling the RAID Controller on the Motherboard
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage the LSIiBBU08 and the MegaRAID
SAS RAID controller. Make sure that you install the LSIiBBU08 at an ESD-safe workstation
that meets the requirements of EIA-625 – “Requirements For Handling Electrostatic
Discharge Sensitive Devices.” When you install the LSIiBBU08, follow the
ESD-recommended practices in the latest revision of IPC-A-610.
Removing the RAID Controller from the
Computer
Follow these steps to remove the RAID controller from the computer.
1. Turn off the power, and unplug the power cords.
2. Ground yourself and make sure the system is grounded.
3. Remove the cover from the computer, according to the instructions in the system
user’s manual, to allow access to the controller.
4. Unplug all cables from the controller, remove the screw attaching the bracket to the
computer chassis, and carefully remove the controller from the slot.
5. Place the controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface, and continue with the next
procedure.
Installing the LSIiBBU08 on the RAID
Controller
Follow these steps to install the LSIiBBU08 on the front of the SAS 9280-8e RAID
controller.
WARNING: Danger of an explosion exists if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Ground yourself and make sure the system is grounded.
2. Remove the LSIiBBU08 daughtercard from the package.
3. Place the LSIiBBU08 front-side-up on a flat, clean, static-free surface.
4. With the front side up, place the RAID controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface.
5. Hold the LSIiBBU08 daughtercard so that the battery side is up and the J1 connector
lines up with the J6B1 BBU connector on the SAS 9280-8e RAID controller, as shown
in the following figure.
NOTE: See the MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID Controllers User’s Guide for the BBU connectors
to use on the other RAID controllers that use the LSIiBBU08.

6. Carefully press the LSIiBBU08 onto the RAID controller so that the two connectors
are firmly joined.
7. Secure the LSIiBBU08 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. The screw
threads from the back of the controller board into the board-to-board standoffs on
the bottom of the LSIiBBU08.
CAUTION: Center the screwdriver carefully to avoid stripping the screw heads. Do not
overtighten the screws.
Reinstalling the RAID Controller on the
Motherboard
Follow these steps to reinstall the RAID controller on a motherboard.
1. With the power to the chassis still turned off, and the power cords unplugged, make
sure the chassis is grounded and has no AC power.
2. Install the RAID controller in a PCI Express slot on the motherboard, as shown in
Figure 3.
NOTE: Some PCI Express slots support only PCI Express graphics cards; if a RAID
controller is installed in one of these slots, it will not function. Refer to your computer
documentation for information about the PCI Express slot.
3. Press down gently but firmly to seat the card correctly in the slot.

controller (Connecting the LSIiBBU08 Remotely to the MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller)

Use the cable to connect the remote LSIiBBU08 to a daughtercard that is connected
to the BBU connector on the RAID controller (Connecting the Remote LSIiBBU08 to an
Interposer Card on the MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller)
The procedures in this section show how to connect the LSIiBBU08 remotely to the
MegaRAID SAS 9280-8i RAID controller. You can connect the LSIiBBU08 in the same way
to the other MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers that use this iBBU.
For information about the BBU connectors on these controllers, see the MegaRAID

user’s manual to allow access to the controller.
4. Unplug all cables from the controller, remove the screw attaching the bracket to the
computer chassis, and carefully remove the controller from the slot.
5. Place the controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface, and continue with the next
procedure.
Connecting the Remote LSIiBBU08
Follow these steps to connect the remote LSIiBBU08 to the BBU connector on the RAID
controller.
1. Ground yourself and make sure the system is grounded.
2. Remove the LSIiBBU08 from the package.
3. Use the three Phillips-head screws that are provided to secure the LSIiBBU08 to the
motherboard or the server chassis.
4. Connect one end of the 12-inch, 20-pin cable (included in the remote battery kit) to
the J2 connector on the LSIiBBU08, and the other end to the J6B1 BBU connector on
the SAS 9280-8e RAID controller RAID controller, as shown in the following figure.
The black triangles on the connectors help you install them properly. Insert the
