Chapter 3. Installing a Battery Backup Unit

Before You Start

Before installing the BBU, do the following:

1Decide which expansion slot locations to use for the 3ware RAID controller and the remote battery board.

2For the remote battery board, consider ventilation and convenience of access for battery replacement. If possible, leave a space for airflow around the remote battery board, as battery life is shortened by excessive heat.

Important: Inadequate airflow will cause the battery backup unit to be disabled if the temperature exceeds a preset limit

3If your enclosure is low-profile, unscrew the full height bracket from the remote battery board and replace it with the included low-profile bracket, using the same screws.

4Choose which of the 3 mounting positions you want to use for mounting the battery on the remote battery board

5Determine if you will need to use the extension cable to connect the remote battery to the control module

For instructions on how to install your 3ware 9690SA RAID controller, see “Chapter 2. Installing Your 3ware RAID Controller” on page 11.
