Intelligent Battery Backup Unit

Manual No. 771971 B-9

Removing the Battery Backup Module

The battery backup module will need to be removed for one of the following

reasons:

1. The NiCd battery will no longer accept a charge properly (NiCd battery

life expectancy is approximately 5 years).

2. The cache memory needs to be removed from the DAC960PG for

replacement or upgrade.

WARNING

Do not attempt to install, remove, or change a

cache SIMM on the DAC960PG with the IBBU

installed. Serious damage to the SIMM and/or the

battery backup unit will occur if this precaution is

not followed.
