  • Front PERC Mounting Bracket 01GXYG

    Front PERC Mounting Bracket 01GXYG

    Metal bracket designed for a front mounted PERC controller on select 15 gen servers.

    Notes

    • Genuine Dell OEM mounting bracket for the front PERC (fPERC) RAID controller.
    • Designed to securely mount the front PERC controller within supported Dell PowerEdge server chassis.
    • Maintains proper alignment between the RAID controller, system board connector, and backplane connections.
    • Constructed from stamped steel for rigidity and long-term durability.
    • Used only in systems equipped with a front PERC (fPERC) storage configuration.
    • Compatible with Dell front PERC RAID controllers, including select PERC H745, H750, and H755 models, depending on the server configuration.
    • Works in conjunction with the appropriate plastic carrier, mounting hardware, and cabling specific to the server model.
    • Ensures the RAID controller remains securely fastened, reducing vibration and preventing stress on board-to-board connectors.
    • Commonly removed during server disassembly and may be missing from refurbished systems, making it a useful replacement part.
    • OEM Dell hardware provides the correct fit and mounting geometry for supported 15th Generation PowerEdge servers.
    • Bracket only; RAID controller, plastic carrier, cables, screws, and battery are typically sold separately unless otherwise specified.

    This is the metal bracket that works with the JM7F5 plastic carrier, so together they form the complete front PERC mounting assembly on many 15th Generation PowerEdge servers.

  • Front Perc Battery Tray 0JM7F5

    Front Perc Battery Tray 0JM7F5

    This is a plastic mold that secures a front PERC RAID controller to the primary mounting bracket on compatible 15 gen servers. It holds the battery in place as well as secures the PERC controller to the more sturdy metal bracket.

    Notes:

    • Genuine Dell OEM plastic mounting bracket for the front PERC (fPERC) RAID controller assembly.
    • Designed for Dell 15th Generation PowerEdge servers that utilize a front-mounted RAID controller.
    • Secures the fPERC controller and associated battery/cabling within the chassis.
    • Molded plastic construction provides proper alignment and support for the RAID controller during installation.
    • Helps prevent movement or vibration that could stress the RAID controller, battery cable, or system board connector.
    • Used only in systems configured with a front PERC (fPERC); not required on systems using a standard PCIe RAID controller.
    • Compatible with multiple Dell PERC controller models, including select H745, H750, and H755 front PERC variants, depending on the server configuration.
    • Often omitted from used or refurbished servers because it is easily removed during disassembly and may be sold separately.
    • Replacement is recommended if the original bracket is cracked, broken, or missing to ensure the RAID controller is properly secured.
    • Genuine Dell part ensures correct fitment and retention compared to aftermarket replacements.
    • Does not include the RAID controller, battery, battery cable, or mounting screws unless specifically stated by the seller.

  • LSI 55237-00 RAID battery

    LSI 55237-00 RAID battery

    This is a battery for a RAID controller commonly called the SuperCAP (or supercapacitor) by Supermicro. The battery is mounted to the chassis and attached to compatible raid controllers via cable.

    Notes

    • Uses supercapacitor technology instead of a traditional lithium-ion battery, providing improved reliability and a longer service life.
    • During a power failure, the capacitor supplies enough power for the RAID controller to transfer cached write data to onboard non-volatile flash memory.
    • Once power is restored, the RAID controller automatically restores the cached data from flash memory.
    • Designed for LSI MegaRAID CacheVault RAID controllers and is not compatible with older Battery Backup Unit (BBU) systems.
    • Often found with LSI MegaRAID 9361, 9364, 9380, and other CacheVault-enabled RAID controllers.
    • Requires the appropriate CacheVault cable and mounting location within the server chassis.
    • Does not provide power to the RAID controller itself; it only provides temporary power for cache protection during power loss.
    • Common replacement part for failed or depleted CacheVault capacitor packs.
    • Also referenced by part number L3-00099-01 by some vendors.
