Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
Lower level: Three (3) boxes are placed in the lower level. One (1) box
contains the enclosure chassis with all the pre-installed components. The
other two (2) boxes contain power cords and accessory items.
Accessory items include an RS-232C audio jack cable, power cords, a null
modem, Quick Installation Guide, screws, and a product utility CD
containing the Installation and Hardware Reference Manual (this
document), the Generic Operation Manual (firmware), and the
RAIDWatch programs and RAIDWatch User’s Manual.

2.7 BBU Installation
2.7.1 BBU Module Installation Overview
The BBU module is an optional item that can sustain cache memory in the
event of a power failure or in the unlikely event of failing both PSUs. A
BBU is highly recommended. The optional BBU provides additional data
security and helps minimize the loss of data during power shutdowns.
The BBU module is inserted into a module slot on the controller module.
The BBU module is secured with two (2) retention screws. When shipped,
the BBU module slot is covered with a dummy plate that must first be
removed.
