2.2.1 Installing the LSIiBBU05 (NiMH)

The two types of intelligent battery backup unit 05 are:
•
LSI intelligent Battery Backup Unit 05- NiMH (nickel metal hydride)
•
LSI intelligent Battery Backup Unit 05 - LiON (lithium ion)
The LSIiBBU05 NiMH Intelligent BBU has built-in functionality to charge
the battery pack automatically and to communicate battery status
information such as voltage, temperature, and current, to the host
computer system.
The iBBU05, which features NiMH battery cell technology, can be used
in two application modes:
•
Mode 1: The iBBU05 mounts directly to the following SAS RAID
controllers using a small board-to-board connector (daughtercard):
– MegaRAID SAS 8704ELP
– MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP
•
Mode 2: The iBBU05 supports remote connection to the following
SAS RAID controller using a 12-inch cable:
– MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP
Figure 2.3 displays the top view and the bottom view of the card, the
screws, and the standoffs. (The "top" side is the side you can see after
you install the iBBU05 on the RAID controller.) Note that this unit
combines a battery pack with a daughtercard.
