1. With the controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface, ground yourself, and remove the adapter card, standoff, and screws from the package.
2. Place the standoff on the controller so that the bottom side is positioned over the screw hole next to the J1 connector on the controller.
3. Use one of the screws to secure the standoff to the controller.
NOTE Center the screwdriver carefully to avoid stripping the screw head. Do not overtighten the screws.
4. Hold the adapter card so that the J2 board-to-board connector on the adapter card lines up with the J10 board-to-board connector on the RAID controller.
5. Carefully press the J2 connector on the adapter card into the J10 connector on the controller so that the two connectors are joined firmly.
The connectors fit only when they are in the correct alignment.
6. Use the other screw to secure the adapter card to the controller, and continue with the next procedure.

Connecting the LSIiBBU07 Unit on the Remote Mount Board to the Board-to Board Cable Adapter Card on the RAID Controller

Follow these steps to connect the cable between the LSIiBBU07 unit on the remote mount board and the board-to-board adapter card on the RAID controller.
1. With the controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface, ground yourself, and make sure that the system is grounded.
2. Insert the 20-pin cable connector at one end of the 12-in. cable into the 20-pin J2 cable connector on the LSIiBBU07 unit on the remote mount board and the 20-pin cable connector at the other end into the 20-pin J1 connector on the board-to-board adapter card on the RAID controller.
Black triangles on the connectors help you install the connectors correctly. Insert the cable connectors into the controller connector and the iBBU connector so that the black triangles are aligned, as shown in the following figure.
CAUTION Damage to the battery backup unit will occur when power is applied to the system if the cable assembly connectors are installed backwards in either the JT1 board-to-board connector or the J2 battery connector. The cable connectors are polarized, and the keying features of the connector are designed to allow the connectors to be attached in only one orientation. The cable end inserts into the connector with only minimal resistance. Even with the keying features, if excessive force is used, it is possible to install these connectors incorrectly. To assist in correct alignment, the small triangles that designate pin 1 on each connector have been marked in black. Make sure that these triangles line up as shown in the illustrations. Also, the wire that connects to pin 1 of each end of the cable assembly is yellow on most LSI cables.
