Installing Battery Backup Units The Cisco Catalyst Industrial Router 8140 Heavy Duty Series Router (IR8140H or router) supports up to three battery backup units (BBUs), which provide power to the router if the router AC power supply fails or is not available.
• All BBUs are completely discharged. • AC power to the router is restored. • The BBU is disabled with software commands (see Cisco Catalyst IR8140 Heavy Duty Series Router Software Configuration). Note...
The BBU shipping and receiving guidelines define the BBU SOC status and how it can be managed at this stage of the BBU life cycle: • Cisco ships BBUs with a minimum of 60% SOC from the Cisco contract manufacturer (CM). • Each BBU should have a minimum SOC of 50% upon receipt from the Cisco CM.
• Prior to connection to an AC source, the BBU shelf life is a minimum of 21 days. • When long term storage at a customer site is anticipated, Cisco requires that the BBUs be recharged prior to expiration of shelf life.
• For routers under warranty, follow the standard Cisco RMA procedures. • If Cisco identifies a BBU or set of BBUs as a non-functional item that can be discarded without being returned for failure analysis, BBUs removed for replacement must be disposed of in accordance with local guidelines.
• Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete. BBU Components This section illustrates and describes the BBU components you should be familiar with when installing the BBU. Cisco Catalyst IR8140 Heavy Duty Series Router Hardware Installation Guide...
