Most of the Battery Module properties are view-only. In the lower right panel of the RAID BIOS Console there are two properties that can be changed. (Intel recommends that you leave these properties at their default settings.)

Learn Delay Interval – default 30 days

Auto Learn Mode – default Auto

Note: The learning cycle is a battery calibration operation performed by the controller periodically to determine the condition of the battery.

Using Intel® RAID Web Console 2

The status of all BBUs connected to controllers in the server is visible in Intel® RAID Web Console 2 by selecting the Physical tab in the left panel. To see the battery, select the Controller. The Battery Backup Unit will appear as the last item on the list under that controller. An icon (small rectangle or red dot) will appear in the left pane to indicate the BBU status. The rectangle indicates normal operation, the red dot indicates the BBU has failed.
