When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to erase
all system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
On = iLO security is disabled.
Off = System configuration can be
changed.
On = System configuration is locked.
On = Clears power-on password and
administrator password
On = Clear NVRAM.
CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure to properly
configure the server or data loss could occur.
NMI jumper
The NMI jumper allows administrators to perform a memory dump before performing a hard reset. Crash
dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems, such as hangs or crashes in OSs,
device drivers, and applications. Many crashes can freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset.
Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause analysis.
Systems running Microsoft® Windows® experience a blue-screen trap when the OS crashes. When this
happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators perform an NMI event by temporarily
shorting the NMI header with a jumper. The NMI event enables a hung system to become responsive
again.

System LEDs and internal health LED combinations
When the internal health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing
a health event. Combinations of illuminated system LEDs and the internal health LED indicate system
status.
The front panel health LEDs indicate only the current hardware status. In some situations, HP SIM ("HP
Systems Insight Manager" on page 83) may report server status differently than the health LEDs because
the software tracks more system attributes.

The drive is being accessed, but (1) it is not configured as part of an
array; (2) it is a replacement drive and rebuild has not yet started; or
(3) it is spinning up during the POST sequence.
Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may cause

Power up the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
Power down the server
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the
equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel
Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the
power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the server.
1. Back up the server data.
2. Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system documentation.
3. If the server is installed in a rack, press the UID LED button on the front panel (1). Blue LEDs
illuminate on the front and rear panels of the server.
Server operations 27
Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in standby mode (2). When the server
4.
activates standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.
5. If the server is installed in a rack, locate the server by identifying the illuminated rear UID LED button.
6. Disconnect the power cords.
The system is now without power.
Extend the server from the rack
1. Pull down the quick release levers on each side of the server to release the server from the rack.
2. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the
rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server
rail-release latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your
fingers.
Server operations 28
After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server back into the rack:
3.
a. Press the server rail-release latches and slide the server fully into rack.
b. Press the server firmly into the rack to secure it in place.
Removing the access panel
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and
the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating
the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
1. Power down the server if performing a non-hot-plug installation or maintenance procedure ("Power
down the server" on page 27).
2. Extend the server from the rack, if applicable ("Extend the server from the rack" on page 28).
3. Lift up on the hood latch handle and remove the access panel.
Installing the access panel
1. Place the access panel on top of the server with the hood latch open. Allow the panel to extend past
the rear of the server approximately 1.25 cm (0.5 in).
2. Push down on the hood latch. The access panel slides to a closed position.

To access the server rear panel, open the cable management arm.
Cable management arm with right-hand swing
NOTE: To access some components, you may need to remove the cable management arm.
To access the product rear panel components, open the cable management arm:
1. Power down the server (on page 27).
2. Swing open the cable management arm.
3. Remove the cables from the cable trough.
