The Supermicro BBP® modules are designed for high availability and easy maintenance. They are entirely self-contained, hot-swappable units, charging and delivering power to the system through an internal connector. In the event of an AC power interruption, the BBP module reacts in real time to take over and maintain the power load, providing time for failsafe switchover to an alternative power source or an orderly shutdown. Incorporating the latest rechargeable Lithium-Ion cell technology, the BBP modules feature I²C / Smart Battery Monitoring through remote management that promotes long life and high durability. This Smart Battery Monitoring technology is ideally suited for environments with AC reliability issues or that requires backup power solutions. Supermicro servers configured with redundant BBPs provide maximum system protection for Enterprise and SMB deployments running mission-critical HPC, cloud computing, data center and storage applications.
