Product Overview

The Intel®RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit 4 (RMFBU4) is an Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) ﬂash module that provides

cache off-load capability to protect cached data in case of host power loss or server failure. The RMFBU4 module connects to a

Super Capacitor Pack module, which provides power for the backup of your data.

The RMFBU4 module attaches directly to the RAID controller, and then it connects by cable to a Super Capacitor Pack module

that is attached to a remote mount board or an Intel®Server Chassis.

The following ﬁgure shows the front view and the back view of the RMFBU4 module. The front view is the side that you can see

when the unit is installed on a RAID controller.

General Installation Process

Unpack the RMFBU4 Module

Unpack the RMFBU4 module in a static-free environment. Remove the

module from the antistatic bag, and inspect it for damage. If the

module appears to be damaged, contact Intel or your reseller support

representative.

CAUTION: It is good practice to back up your data before

adding hardware, such as an RMFBU4 module, to your

system.

Prepare the Host Computer

CAUTION: Before you install the RMFBU4 module, make

sure that the host computer is disconnected from the

power and from any networks.

Turn off the host computer, and unplug the power cords from the rear

of the power supply. Remove the cover from the host computer to

permit access to the RAID controller.

Remove the RAID Controller from

the Computer

Unplug all cables from the RAID controller, remove the screw that

attaches the bracket to the computer chassis, and carefully remove

the RAID controller from the slot.

Place the RAID controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface.

Attach the RMFBU4 Module to the

RAID Controller

Ground yourself, and make sure that the system is grounded.

Place the RMFBU4 module front-side-up on a flat, clean, static-free

surface.

Mount the two standoffs on the front side of the RAID controller by

screwing in two screws from the back side of the RAID controller, as

shown in the following figure.

The standoffs are threaded at both ends, and the screws thread from

the back side of the RAID controller into the board-to-board

standoffs.

Center the screwdriver carefully to avoid stripping the screw heads.

Do not over-tighten the screws.

Hold the RMFBU4 module so that the front side faces upward, and

align the J2 connector on the RMFBU4 module with the connector

on the RAID controller.

Carefully press the RMFBU4 module onto the RAID controller so

that the two connectors are firmly joined.

RAID Controller

RS3DC080 as shown

Secure the RMFBU4 module to the RAID controller by screwing in

the two screws from the top side of the RAID controller.

The standoffs are threaded at both ends, and the screws thread from

the back side of the RAID controller into the board-to-board

standoffs.

Center the screwdriver carefully to avoid stripping the screw heads.

Do not over-tighten the screws.

NOTE: If the Super Capacitor Pack module is to be attached to

a remote mount board, continue to follow the steps 5 to 9. If

the Super Capacitor Pack module is to be attached to an Intel®

Server Chassis, continue to follow the steps 10 to 12.

General Installation Process

Attach the Super Capacitor Pack

Module to the Clip

Ground yourself, and make sure that the system is grounded.

Place the Super Capacitor Pack module and the clip front-side-up

on a flat, clean, static-free surface.

Press the Super Capacitor Pack module into the clip until the

module clicks firmly into place, as shown in the following figure.

Install the Clip on the Remote Mount

Board

Ground yourself, and make sure that the system is grounded.

Place the clip and the remote mount board module front-side-up on

a flat, clean, static-free surface.

Hold the clip so the screw holes on the clip line up with the screw

holes on the remote mount board, as shown in the following figure.

Secure the clip to the remote mount board in three screw holes with

the 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.

General Installation Process

Reinstall the RAID Controller on the

Motherboard (Valid for Remote Mount

Board)

Make sure that the power to the chassis is still turned off, the power

cords are unplugged, and the chassis is grounded and has no AC

power.

Install the RAID controller in a PCIe slot on the motherboard, as

shown in the following figure.

Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the card correctly in the slot.

Secure the RAID controller to the computer chassis with the bracket

screw.

NOTE: This RAID controller is a PCIe x8 card, and it can

operate in x8 or x16 slots. Some PCIe slots, however, support

only PCIe graphics cards; if a RAID controller is installed in

one of these slots, the RAID controller will not function. Refer

to the guide for your motherboard for information about the

PCIe slot.

Remove the cable that is included in the RAID controller box.

Insert one 9-pin cable connector on the cable into the 9-pin J1

connector on the RMFBU4 module, as shown in the following

figure (the cable is blue).

Insert the other 9-pin cable connector into the 9-pin connector on

the remote Super Capacitor Pack module.

Align the cable connectors to make sure that they are connected

correctly.

General Installation Process

Mount the Super Capacitor Pack Module

to the Intel® Server Chassis

Ground yourself, and make sure that the system is grounded.

Place the Super Capacitor Pack module and the clip front-side-up

on a flat, clean, static-free surface.

Press the Super Capacitor Pack module into the clip until the

module clicks firmly into place, as shown in the following figure

(for reference only; actual shape of the product may vary from the

figure).

Locate the mounting holes for the Super Capacitor Pack module

clip in the Intel®Server Chassis.

NOTE: Most of the Intel®Server Chassis provide a position to

mount the Super Capacitor Pack module clip; the remote

mount board is not needed in this kind of scenario. Refer to the

Intel®Server System User Guide for details of the position

where the Super Capacitor Pack module clip can be mounted.

Align the tabs on the clip with the mounting holes in the Intel®

Server Chassis and slide the clip until the clip engages with the

mounting holes.
