Chapter 3. Installing a Battery Backup Unit
24 3ware 9690SA SAS/SATA RAID Controller Installation Guide
Replacing the Battery
The Battery Backup Unit (BBU) will last for many years. The BBU
battery has an expected life span of one to two years depending on
usage.
You can check the current status of the battery, and test it. For
details, see instructions in 3ware SAS/SATA RAID Software User
Guide, Version 9.5.1.
To replace the battery
1 Make sure the system is powered down, that you are grounded,
and follow all appropriate safety procedures.
2 Disconnect the battery power cable from the BBU control
module on the controller card.
To do so, press down on the lever-like clip on the battery power
connector and slide it out of the slot.
(If desired, you can remove the BBU control module to
facilitate disconnecting the power cable. This will require
removing the controller card from your enclosure.)
Figure 17 shows how removing the connector looks if you
remove the BBU control module from the controller.
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
by an incorrect type. To obtain a replacement battery module,
contact AMCC.
