Amcc Broadcom BBU-BRACKET-05 battery bracket, weight 450 g, dimensions 152×152×50 mm

Amcc Broadcom BBU-BRACKET-05 is a compact battery bracket designed to mount and secure battery backup units (BBUs) and compatible power modules in server environments. The bracket measures 152×152×50 mm and weighs 450 g, providing a rigid, space-efficient solution for remote mounting of BBUs or CacheVault Power Modules in adjacent PCI slots. The product includes a vented full-height bracket preinstalled, an additional vented low-profile bracket, and a Quick Installation Guide to simplify installation and ensure correct alignment with server chassis and cooling paths.

Advantages

The bracket offers a precise mechanical fit and stable support for BBUs, minimizing movement and vibration during operation. Its vented brackets help maintain airflow and cooling around the battery area, while the compact dimensions enable installation in constrained rack or server interiors. Designed for compatibility with specific battery backup and CacheVault modules, the BBU-BRACKET-05 reduces the need for custom mounting hardware and streamlines hardware replacement or upgrades.

Suitable for

• Mounting battery backup units in server chassis where direct attachment is impractical
• Remote installation of CacheVault or similar power modules in adjacent PCI slots
• Data center maintenance and hardware replacement tasks requiring a compact, vented bracket
• Server upgrades where a rigid, space-saving mounting solution is needed

Key specifications

• Exterior dimensions: 152 × 152 × 50 mm (W × D × H)
• Weight: 450 g
• Material: metal bracket with vented full-height and low-profile bracket options (vented)
• Design: rigid mounting bracket for battery backup units and compatible power modules
• Cooling: vented bracket design to support chassis airflow

How to use

Install the BBU-BRACKET-05 by first powering down the server and following standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Remove the appropriate slot cover from the server chassis, position the bracket so that the vented face aligns with the server’s airflow direction, and secure it to the chassis using the provided mounting points. Attach the battery backup unit or CacheVault power module to the bracket, ensuring connectors and cabling reach the host controller without strain. Refer to the Quick Installation Guide for torque recommendations and any chassis-specific notes.

Usage recommendations

Use the vented full-height bracket for standard rack-mounted servers where full-height airflow is required; switch to the vented low-profile bracket only when space or chassis constraints demand a low-profile configuration. Verify cable routing to avoid obstructing airflow and check that the installed battery or module is compatible with the host controller before powering the system.
