Does this work on a SuperMicro X9DRH-7F onboard LSI MegaRAID ROMB?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, the LSIiBBU09 is the correct battery backup unit for the Supermicro X9DRH-7F.
The X9DRH-7F has an onboard LSI SAS 2208 controller, and Supermicro's documentation specifically calls out the LSIiBBU09 (Supermicro part number BTR-0022L-LSI00279) as the supported BBU for this board. The battery connects to the JS3 header on the motherboard.
One important note: the BBU09 itself has a short cable intended for mounting on a discrete RAID card. To install it on the X9DRH-7F, you'll also need the MCP-450-00001-0N extension cable kit to reach from the battery's bay-mount location to the JS3 header on the board. Without it, you have the correct battery but no way to connect it.
