EonStor A12U/A08U-G2421 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual 

•  Install or replace the BBU module only with a BBU module supplied by 

your subsystem vendor. Use of battery cells provided by another source will 

void our warranty.    

•  Always dispose of discharged or used batteries in an ecologically 

responsible manner. Dispose used BBUs at authorized battery disposal sites 

only. 

•  Do not use nor leave the BBU near a heat source or direct sunlight. Heat can 

melt the insulation and damage other safety features of battery cells, 

possibly leading it to acid leak and result in flames or explosion. 

•  Do not immerse the BBU in water nor allow it to get wet. Its protective 

features can be damaged. Abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly 

causing functional defects, acid leak, and other hazardous results.  

•  Do not disassemble or modify the BBU. If disassembled, the BBU could 

leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite. 

•  Do not pierce the BBU with a sharp object, strike it with a hammer, step on 

it, or throw it. These actions could damage or deform it, internal short-

circuiting can occur, possibly causing functional defects, acid leaks, and 

other hazardous results.  

•  If the BBU leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, becomes discolored 

or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or 

storage, immediately remove it from the subsystem and stop using it. If this 

is discovered when you first use the BBU, return it to Infortrend or your 

system vendor.
