Replacing Battery Backup Units
Intel recommends that you replace BBUs once a year or after 500 recharging cycles, whichever
comes first. The warranty on the battery pack is for one year. After you install a new BBU, use one
of the Intel configuration utilities to reset the battery recharge cycle counter to zero. For
instructions, see Chapter 3, “Monitoring BBUs with the Intel Configuration Utilities.”
