Installation Instructions

Adaptec Flash Backup Module AFM-600 for Adaptec Unified Serial™RAID Controllers

some jurisdictions.

Part Number: MAN-00260-01-A Rev B

Using the appropriate static protection, remove the controller from your computer.

1Insert screws through the bottom of the controller board, as shown in Figure 1.

Then, insert spacers on the screws.

2Attach the AFM-600DB (daughterboard) to the controller by mating the two black

connectors. Affix a hex nut to the end of each of the screws, as shown in Figure 2.

Caution: The torque should be less than 0.06Nm to avoid deformation. Do not use a

tool to hold the nut in place to avoid damaging the semi-conductor components on the

daughterboard near the screw holes. Be sure that the controller is not bent after

attaching the daughterboard to the controller card.

3Attach the AFM-600CC supercapacitor module to the controller by inserting the

connector into the socket on the AFM-600DB, as shown in Figure 3. The connector

attaches to the socket in only one direction.

4Choose a location on the chassis or in the system to fix the tethered supercapacitor

module using the included cable-ties such that (i) the cable (18.5") reaches the

mating location on the controller when it is installed in the expansion slot;

(ii) wiring is routed and secured so that it does not contact any moving parts (fans,

for instance); and (iii) the supercapacitor module is protected from heat.

5Thread the cable-ties through the slots on the supercapacitor module and fix to the

selected location on the computer chassis. The cable-ties should completely encircle the supercapacitor module to ensure that it is held

in place securely, as shown in Figure 4. Be careful not to restrict air-flow in your system.

6Reinstall the controller, and restart your computer.

7The supercapacitor starts charging automatically. It should reach full charge in 3-4 minutes.

Warning: (i) Do NOT remove or insert a fully charged supercapacitor module. Always discharge the unit first to avoid damage to the controller or

flash backup module. The factory ships with discharged units, so they are safe to install when you receive them. To ensure that an installed unit

is discharged, switch the system OFF, then wait 5 minutes. After a dirty shutdown, wait 3 minutes after backup is complete, then remove the

unit. (ii) There is a risk of explosion if the supercapacitor module is replaced by an incorrect type.
