• Notes: BBU installs in DIMM slot to back up cache on power loss.

IBM ServeRAID-8s SAS PCIe Controller

• Model / FRU: ServeRAID-8s – 39R8765 / 39R8785

• Type: SAS RAID controller (8s series for small form factor systems)

• Compatibility: Often used in lower-end IBM servers like System x3250 family.

• Battery: ServeRAID 8s Battery – 39R8812 / 25R8118 (BBU)

IBM Simple-Swap SATA RAID Kit

• Model / FRU: Simple-Swap SATA RAID Kit – 42C1313 with daughter card

• Type: Basic RAID solution (embedded or small add-on)

• Compatibility: Fits IBM entry-level System x servers offering “simple” SATA RAID support.

• Battery: Usually does not include a BBU — intended for software-assisted RAID.

Battery / BBU (Standalone / Replacement)

In many IBM RAID cards the battery backup unit (BBU) is either integrated on the controller or sold separately. Common part numbers include:

• 46M0800 – BBU for ServeRAID MR10ie controllers

• 39R8812 / 25R8118 – ServeRAID-8s Battery for the 8s series RAID card

Other legacy RAID controller battery part numbers sometimes found in older IBM parts ecosystems include:

• 39R8804, 71P8642, 90P5245 — BBU batteries for earlier ServeRAID controllers like 7k/6i series (when available).

Compatibility Summary

Notes on Compatibility & BBU

• ServeRAID M5015 is widely supported across many IBM System x1xxx generation servers with PCIe slots and SATA/SAS backplanes.

• BladeCenter controllers like MR10ie are specific to BladeCenter chassis and require matching SAS cabling.

• Battery Backup Units (BBU) may need separate ordering or are pre-installed depending on controller model.

• Older RAID cards (like ServeRAID 6i/7k/8i) also had distinct battery FRUs — useful when maintaining legacy systems.

What Are IBM RAID Controller Cards?

IBM RAID controllers (commonly branded as IBM ServeRAID) are hardware cards that:

• Manage RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60

• Improve storage performance

• Protect data from drive failure

• Support SAS & SATA enterprise drives

• Provide onboard cache for faster write operations

They are essential for enterprise storage stability and redundancy.

What Is an IBM RAID Battery Backup Unit (BBU)?

A BBU (Battery Backup Unit) or CacheVault module:

• Protects RAID cache memory during power failure

• Prevents data corruption

• Allows write‑back cache mode
