Battery backup for the ram?
I don't think so. Each little black cable goes to a different card at each
end.
If you look closely at the top view of the card cage, starting from the
front, you see what I would guess to be a hard/floppy controller, a RAM
card (note the positioning of the components that you can see and compare
them with the three cards in the middle), perhaps a CPU card, a couple of
empty slots, three more RAM cards and then three unidentified cards with
SSI chips (some sort of comms?). The front RAM card doesn't appear to have
the same small black cable attached. Perhaps bank switching of some sort?
