3ware 9690sa manualUsing an incorrect cable can result in drives that are not detected. These cables have multi-lane cable plug connectors on each end (Figure 6). Figure 6. If you are uncomfortable opening a computer system and conforming to standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) practices, you should have a computer technician perform the installation. Replacing the heat sink will alter thermal characteristics and cooling requirements and may cause the controller to fail. Replacing the factory-installed heat sink will void the warranty. The on-board heat sink collects heat, and must have adequate airflow in order to disburse it. It is important that the cables do not obstruct the air flow or prevent proper ventilation of the system. If your enclosure is low-profile, unscrew the full height bracket from the 3ware 9690SA RAID controller and replace it with the included low-profile bracket, using the same screws. If appropriate, set the PM2 (power management) jumper on the disk drives, to enable staggered spinup. Save this screw; it will be used to secure the 3ware 9690SA RAID controller after you have seated it in the slot. Position the card in the PCI Express slot so that the contacts will mate with the grooves in the slot, and all pins make proper contact with the PCI Express slot pins when pushed into place. Check that the 3ware RAID controller’s metal bracket covers the hole in the case and secure the bracket with the screw that was used to secure the filler bracket in step 5. Insert the SFF-8088 cable plug connector into the multi-lane external connector of the controller. When the plug is inserted correctly, you will feel it click into place. The user guide is included on the 3ware CD that came with your controller.When used with the 3ware 9690SA RAID controller, the BBU control module is mounted on the RAID controller and the battery pack is installed on a remote battery board. If you have a 9690SA-8E the location of the control module post hole will be different.http://kleiberit.ru/files/bosch-instruction-manuals-to-download.xml

Finishing Up the RAID Controller Installation After you have installed the controller in the computer and attached appropriate cables to the controller and drives, complete the following steps to complete the hardware installation. Page 21 Chapter 3. Installing a Battery Backup Unit The Battery Backup Unit (BBU) is an optional add-on consisting of a control module and a battery pack. When used with the 3ware 9690SA RAID controller, the BBU control module is mounted on the RAID controller and the battery pack is installed on a remote battery board. The BBU’s purpose is to supply power to the controller’s memory module in the event of a system power loss. Page 22 Chapter 3. Installing a Battery Backup Unit Before You Start Before installing the BBU, do the following: 1 Decide which expansion slot locations to use for the 3ware RAID controller and the remote battery board. 2 For the remote battery board, consider ventilation and convenience of access for battery replacement. If possible, leave a space for airflow around the remote battery board, as battery life is shortened by excessive heat. Page 23 Installing the Control Module To install the control module Note: The following illustrations show the 9690SA-4I4E. If you have a 9690SA-8E the location of the control module post hole will be different. 1 Remove the screw head from the plastic post on the BBU control module and set it aside (you will reattach it soon.) Figure 11. Page 24 Chapter 3. Installing a Battery Backup Unit 3 Press down gently until the BBU is seated. Figure 13. BBU control module connected to the controller 4 Turn the controller over, insert the plastic screw head that you removed in step 1 into the plastic post, and tighten it gently but firmly. (Do not over-tighten!) 5 If necessary, attach the extension cable to the BBU control module in order to reach the intended location of the remote battery board. 6 Install your 3ware RAID controller. Page 25 Installing the Remote Battery 3 Select the battery location on the remote battery board. The battery can be mounted in 3 different positions, as marked on the board (see Figure 14). Use the position that will make it easiest to connect the battery power cable to the BBU control module on the 3ware RAID controller. Note: You can mount a second battery on the board, if you have another controller. Figure 14. Page 26 Chapter 3. Installing a Battery Backup Unit 4 Mount the battery in the selected location by snapping it in place.Note: The battery will drain if it is plugged into the BBU and there is no power to the unit. Page 28 Chapter 3. Installing a Battery Backup Unit 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. To obtain a replacement battery module, contact AMCC.
