Connecting a Remote LSIiBBU08 Unit on the System Chassis to a Board-to-Board Cable
Adapter Card on the RAID Controller

This section describes how to connect a 12-in. cable (sold separately in a Remote Battery Kit) between a remote
LSIiBBU08 unit and a board-to-board adapter card on the MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i RAID controller. You can connect the
LSIiBBU08 unit in the same way to the other MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers that use this iBBU unit.

Perform the following tasks in order:

1.

Remove the RAID controller from the computer. See

Section 2.5.5.1, Removing the RAID Controller from the Host

Computer

3.

Mount the LSIiBBU08 unit to the chassis.

4.

Connect the cable between the board-to-board adapter card on the RAID controller and the LSIiBBU08 unit on
the system chassis. See

Section 2.5.5.3, Connecting the Cable Between the Interposer Card and the LSIiBBU08

5.

NOTE

Because server and workstation chassis vary from vendor to vendor,
no standard mounting option exists that is compatible with the
various system configurations. The LSIiBBU08 battery kit, in
combination with the Remote Battery Kit, includes the battery,
daughter card, cable, and standoff. This combination enables
authorized resellers and chassis manufacturers to customize the
location of the remote battery to provide the most flexibility within
various environments.
