1 About the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8 Intel® RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) Controllers and Intel® Integrated 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 Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8 battery pack attaches to the RAID controller either directly or remotely. Figure 1 displays the top and bottom views of the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8. The J1 connector (see letter “A” for the location of this connector) is used to directly connect to an Intel® RAID Controller. The J2 connector (see letter “B” for the location of this connector) is used to remotely connect to an Intel® RAID Controller using supplied cable.
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.
Table 1.
Note: The temperature of the battery pack is generally 15-20 degrees higher than the ambient temperature during fast charge. Therefore, to complete the fast charge cycle, ambient temperature should be less than 55° C. If the ambient temperature exceeds 45° C, the fast charge cycle will terminate prematurely, thus preventing the battery pack from reaching a fully charged state. Intel recommends mounting the battery remotely from the RAID controller when possible to provide additional cooling.
Installing Directly on the RAID Controller To install the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8 on the RAID Controller through the J2 board-to-board connector (daughter card), do the following: 1. Ground yourself, and remove the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8 from the package. 2. Make sure the three screws, and Phillips* screwdriver are easily accessible during the following steps. 3. Remove the protective metal cover from the battery connector on the Intel® RAID Controller. 4.

Attach the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8 to the RAID controller using the three Phillips* (2-56) screws provided. Place the three screws 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 AXXRSBBU8 on the RAID Controller through the J2 Remote BBU connector, do the following:. 1. Ground yourself, and remove the Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8 from the package. 2. Install the plastic standoff to the REB. A AF003238 Figure 5. Installing the Plastic Standoff on the REB 3. Install the Remote Extension Board (REB) onto the RAID controller’s battery connector (JT3 on the RS2BL080).

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. . D C E A B AF003675 Figure 7. Connecting the Cables Connecting the Plastic Battery Holder to the Chassis The Intel® RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU8 is designed for easy attachment to either an Intel® pedestal or rack mount chassis. Complete the following instructions for your server.
If you are installing this component into a third-party chassis, you must first install an attachment mechanism, such as industrial-grade Velcro*. Refer to your server chassis documentation or discuss an appropriate attachment mechanism with your server chassis manufacturer to ensure the attachment mechanism complies with the chassis requirements.

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 12. 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 13). 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 13. 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 in one year or after 500 recharging cycles, whichever comes first. The battery pack has 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 17. Disposing of Battery Backup Units Warning: Do not damage the battery pack in any way.
