Warnings
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are
using this guide or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety
instructions. You must adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and
maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the
described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products /
components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and
will most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which
the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To
remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove
any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be
present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and
disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached
to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can
result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,
boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground any unpainted metal surface on
your server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its
protective wrapper or from the server, place the board component side up on a grounded,
static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do
not slide board over any surface.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips
over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your
fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab,
take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow
sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function
controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool
you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the pins on the board.

1About the Intel®RAID Smart Battery
AXXRSBBU3
Intel®RAID Controllers and Intel®Integrated Server RAID Modules provide reliability,
high performance, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management. A complete fault-
tolerant strategy requires protection for all data, including the unwritten cached data in the
RAM cache. If power is lost, the data in RAM is lost. To avoid this data loss, a battery can
be added to supply power to the RAID RAM during an AC power outage or if the AC
power cord is removed.
The Intel®RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU3 is a small battery pack accessory for the
Intel®Integrated Server RAID and the RAID on Motherboard (ROMB) solutions used on
specific Intel®Server Systems. The Intel®RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU3 preserves
the contents of the RAID DIMM in the event of a power failure. Once power is restored,
all of the preserved data in the RAID Cache DIMM is flushed to the RAID drives. The
AXXRSBBU3 circuit ensures that the backup battery is maintained at full charge for
optimal performance when it is activated.
The Intel®RAID Smart Battery has a compact package and contains the following
components:
•Battery pack: The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack supplies power to the RAM if
AC power is lost. The pack includes a smart refresh circuit and charger. The refresh
circuit is based on the Texas Instruments bq2060A SBS v1.1-compliant Gas Gauge IC
Software, which is used to monitor and inform the user of RSB activities.
•Plastic battery holder: The holder is designed to fit the following Intel®ROMB-based
server chassis and platforms:

The battery pack fits inside the plastic clamshell, which slides onto connectors inside
the server chassis.
•Connecting cables: 20-pin cables of multiple lengths are supplied in the kit to support
various server configurations. These cables are connected between the battery pack
and a connection point in the Intel®Server System.

2Installing the Hardware
Preparing the Server
1. Observe all safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this guide and in the
documentation for your server board and chassis.
2. If your server system is running, power off all peripheral devices attached to the
server, power down the server, and disconnect the AC power cord.
3. Remove the chassis cover. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.
Installing the Intel®RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU3
Connecting the Battery Cable
1. Locate the closure tabs on the clamshell. For the location of the closure tabs, see
letters "A" and "B" in Figure 1.
The clamshell is designed to close securely to ensure that the battery is secure. Due to
this design, the clamshell can be difficult to open.
2. Flex the inner edges of the clamshell to release the closure tabs.
Caution: Do not exert excessive force when flexing the edges of the clamshell. Excessive pressure
can break the clamshell.
3. Open the Intel®RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU3 clamshell (see letter "C" in
Figure 1).
4. Check to see if the wire from the battery is connected to the circuit board. If it is not
installed, connect the wire from the battery to the circuit board (see letter "D" in
Figure 1). Use the appropriate cable from the list below for your server system, and
attach the cable to the connector at the rear of the clamshell:

Note: An 11-inch and a 20-inch cable are included with the product, but a 27-inch cable is no
longer included. Contact your local technical support if you need assistance.
Note: The 20-pin cable connector is keyed for proper orientation during insertion and can only
go in one way. Before inserting into the connector, note the keyed orientation of this plug
and avoid forcing it into the connector upside down, as doing so may damage the
connector and battery circuitry.

Connecting the Clamshell to the Chassis
The Intel®RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU3 is designed for easy attachment to either
an Intel®pedestal or rack mount chassis. Follow the appropriate instructions below for
your server.
If you are installing this component into a third-party chassis, you will first need to 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 that the attachment mechanism complies with the chassis
requirements.

Intel®Server Systems SR1600UR, SR1625UR, SR2600UR and SR2625UR with Intel®
Integrated RAID Controller SROMBSASMR, Intel®Server Systems SR4850HW4,
SR6850HW4, SR4850HW4/M, and SR6850HW4/M
1. Locate the installation clips inside the chassis. They are on the left side of the chassis,
near the rear. Remove the mylar pad if there is a mylar pad covering the mounting
hole.
2. Align the tabs on the clamshell with the clips on the chassis (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. Aligning Clamshell Tabs to the Chassis Clips
3. Slide the clamshell toward the front of the system until the tabs engage with the clips
