The intelligent Battery Backup Unit (iBBU) is a cache memory module
with an integrated battery pack. The module provides an uninterrupted
power source to the module if the power is unexpectedly interrupted
while cached data is still present. If the power failure results from the
failure of the ServeRAID M5025 controller, then you can move the iBBU
to a new controller and recover the data. The replacement controller
must have a cleared configuration.
Note:
For the replacement battery part number and the battery
disposal instructions, see the IBM Systems Environmental
Notices and User Guide on the ServeRAID M
Documentation CD.
