1 About the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU7 Intel® RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) Controllers and Intel® Integrated Server RAID Modules provide reliability, high performance, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management. A complete fault-tolerant strategy requires protection of all data, including the unwritten cached data in the RAM cache. If power is lost, the data in the RAM cache is lost.

2 Installing the Hardware The battery pack is mounted on a daughter card, which is then attached to the RAID controller either locally or remotely. Figure 1 displays the top and bottom views of the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU7. The J5 connector (see letter “B” for the location of this connector) plugs into the Intel® RAID Controller. The J2 connector (see letter “C” for the location of this connector) supports remote connection to an Intel® RAID Controller.
Remote Extender Board (REB) The REB component is a small daughter card that mounts directly to the base controller through the board-to-board connector J2 and is secured by one screw. It provides a 20-pin battery connector J1 for remote battery installation support for base controllers that do not have a 20-pin connector on the controller. The REB is included in the RAID controller product kit. Figure 2.
Important Pre-installation Considerations Warning: Always ground yourself and/or use a ground strap before touching the RAID controller or the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU7. Perform all installation work at an ESDsafe workstation. Use an ESD-safe Phillips* screwdriver set to a maximum torque of 2.25 inch-pounds, and be sure the screwdriver is centered in the screw to avoid damaging the screw head.
2. Remove the chassis cover and ground yourself before touching the RAID controller. Carefully unplug all cables connected to the RAID controller. Press the silver spring at the connector end of the data cables to make sure the two tiny catches release. 3. Carefully remove the RAID controller from the server board. For more information on removing add-in cards, refer to the server board documentation. 4. Place the RAID controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface.
5. Align the battery for your specific RAID controller by placing the Intel® RAID Controller RS2BL080 with the components facing up (see Figure 3). ry te Bat A E B D C AF003236 Figure 3.

a 2-56 screw goes into each end. Place three screws from the battery side, and three from the RAID controller side. Caution: Center the screwdriver carefully to avoid stripping the screw head. Do not over-tighten the screws. The maximum recommended torque is 2.25-inches per pound. Setting up a Remote Connection to the RAID Controller To install the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU7 on the RAID Controller through the J2 Remote BBU connector, do the following:. 1.
B A AF003239 Figure 6. Installing the REB onto the RAID Controller 4. Verify that the wire from the battery is connected to the circuit board. If it is not connected, insert the battery pack harness connector at the end of the colored wires into the 5-pin J4 connector (see letter “A” in Figure 1) on the back side of the battery.
Note: Please carefully observe how the battery cable connectors are keyed and to avoid asserting unnecessary force when plugging in the cable. A C B AF003241 Figure 7. Connecting the Cables Installing the Intel® RAID Controller in the Server System To install the Intel® RAID Controller back into the server system, do the following: 1. Align the RAID controller with the PCI Express* slot. 2. Press down gently, but firmly, to ensure that the RAID controller is properly seated in the slot.
AF003240 Figure 8. Seating the RAID Card into PCI Express* Slot Caution: Never apply pressure to the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU7 when you insert the RAID controller. Only press down on the top edge of the RAID controller. 3. Attach the cables, as needed, to the connectors on the Intel® RAID controller. 4. Replace the chassis cover and reattach the power cord(s).

3 Monitoring Battery Backup Multiple utilities are available to display and configure the BBU information, including the recharge count. When you replace a BBU, you should reset this counter to zero. Intel recommends that you replace the BBU once a year or after 500 recharge cycles, whichever comes first. Note: This chapter describes only the BBU-related features of the utility programs. For complete information on these utilities, see the Intel® RAID Software User's Guide.
Figure 9. Monitoring the Battery with Intel® RAID BIOS Console Most of the battery module properties are view-only. In the lower right panel of the Intel® RAID BIOS Console screen, there are two properties that can be changed. Although Intel recommends that you use the default settings for these options. The default settings for the two properties are: • Learn Delay Interval (hrs) - The default is 0 hour. • Auto Learn Mode - The default is Auto.
controller (see Figure 10). An icon (small rectangle or red dot) appears in the left pane to indicate the BBU status. The rectangle indicates normal operation; a red dot indicates the BBU has failed. Figure 10. BBU information in Intel® RAID Web Console 2 The Battery Backup Unit properties include: • The number of times the BBU has been recharged (Cycle Count). • The full capacity of the BBU, percentage of the current charge, and the estimated time until the charge will be depleted.

4 Replacing Battery Backup Units Intel recommends that you replace each BBU once a year or after 500 recharging cycles, whichever comes first. The battery pack has a one year warranty. After you install a new BBU, use one of the Intel configuration utilities to reset the battery recharge cycle counter to zero. For instructions, see “Monitoring the BBU with the Intel® RAID BIOS Configuration Utility” on page 13. Disposing of Battery Backup Units Warning: Do not damage the battery pack in any way.
