IBM ServeRAID M5000 68Y7396 Cable
IBM ServeRAID M5000 Series Battery Remote Mount Cable (Part Number: 68Y7396) — is a dedicated extension cable required for the remote installation of RAID battery backup units (BBU). Specifically designed for the ServeRAID M5000 series controllers (M5014, M5015), this cable allows the battery to be mounted in a separate chassis location rather than directly on the card. This is mandatory for specific server configurations, such as the IBM System x3650 M3, to ensure proper thermal management and physical fitment. It ensures the integrity of the write cache data during power loss scenarios.
