Use the following steps to install the Broadcom® CacheVault Power Module 02 (CVPM02) or the

1. Disconnect the computer from the power supply and from any networks to which you will
install the adapter. You risk damaging the system or experiencing electrical shock if you do

not disconnect.

2. Install the clip on the remote mount board. Unpack the clip and BBU-BRACKET-05 remote mount
board (available separately). Place the clip and remote mount board module front-side up on a flat, clean,
and static-free surface.

3. Align screws and secure clip. Secure the clip to the remote mount board in the three screw holes
with the provided screws and the nuts. The screws thread through the front of the clip and the remote
mount board. Center the screwdriver carefully to avoid stripping the screw heads. Do not over-tighten
the screws.

4. Attach the CVPM to the remote mount board. Unpack the CVPM and press the CVPM into the clip
on the remote mount board until the module clicks firmly into place.

5. Connect the CVPM to the MegaRAID adapter. Insert the module interface cable connector (larger
connector) into the CVPM. Insert the board interface cable connector (smaller connector) into the
connector on the MegaRAID adapter. Align the cable connectors to make sure they are
connected correctly.
