NMI functionality
An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and not responding to traditional debug mechanisms.
Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hangs in operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action for administrators is to cycle the system power. Resetting the system erases any information that could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a memory dump before a hard reset.
To force the OS to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, the administrator can do any of the following:
•Short the NMI jumper pins
•Press the NMI switch
•Use the iLO Virtual NMI feature
For additional information, see the whitepaper on the HP website (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00797875/c00797875.pdf).

|
|
1 |
Green |
System Power LED. This LED glows steadily when the system |
|
|
is powered up and 12 V system power is available. This |
|
|
power supply is used to maintain the battery charge and |
|
|
provide supplementary power to the cache microcontroller. |
|
|
|
2 |
Green |
Auxiliary Power LED. This LED glows steadily when 3.3V |
|
|
auxiliary voltage is detected. The auxiliary voltage is used |
|
|
to preserve BBWC data and is available any time that the |
|
|
system power cords are connected to a power supply. |

yet been written to the drives. Restore system power as soon as |

Data preservation time is extended any time that 3.3 V auxiliary |
|
|
power is available, as indicated by LED 2. In the absence of auxiliary |
|
|
power, battery power alone preserves the data. A fully-charged |
|
|
battery can normally preserve data for at least two days. |
|
|
The battery lifetime also depends on the cache module size. For further |

Operations
Power up the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
To determine status, see "Front panel LEDs and buttons (on page 8)."
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. Blue LEDs illuminate on the front and rear panels of the server.
4.Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in standby mode. When the server 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.
IMPORTANT: If the server is installed in a telco rack, remove the server from the rack to access internal components.
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.
Operations 24
3.After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, press the rail-release latches and slide the server back into the rack.
Remove the server from the rack
To remove the server from an HP, telco, or third-party rack:
1.Power down the server (on page 24).
2.Disconnect the cabling.
3.Extend the server from the rack (on page 24). Reverse the server installation steps in the documentation that ships with the rack-mounting option.
4.Remove the server from the rack.
5.Place the server on a sturdy, level surface.
Access the server rear panel (rack model)
If the procedure requires accessing the server rear panel, unlock the cable management arm and swing the arm away from the server. For information on unlocking the cable management arm, refer to the installation instructions that ship with the 3-7U Quick Deploy Rail System.
Open or remove the tower bezel
This server has a removable bezel that must be unlocked and opened before accessing the front panel components. The bezel should be kept closed during normal server operations.
Use the key provided with the server to unlock the bezel with a clockwise turn. If necessary, remove the bezel.
CAUTION: To avoid breaking the bezel, remove the bezel before placing the server on its side.
Operations 25
For operations involving removable media bay access, the media bay panel can be removed from the bezel.
Remove the access panel
1.Release the access panel latch.
2.Slide the access panel back about 1.5 cm (0.5 in).
3.Lift and remove the access panel.
CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, hard drives, or blanks installed.
Operations 26
Install the access panel
1.Place the access panel on top of the server, allowing it to extend past the rear of the server approximately 1.5 cm (0.5 in).
2.Slide the access panel forward until it clicks into place, and close the access panel latch.
Remove the media bay blank
1.Power down the server (on page 24).
2.Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed ("Open or remove the tower bezel" on page 25). o Extend the server from the rack (on page 24).
CAUTION: Always populate each media bay with either a device or a blank. Proper airflow can only be maintained when the bays are populated. Unpopulated drive bays can lead to improper cooling and thermal damage.
3.Remove the media bay blank.
Remove the large redundant fan air baffle
1.Power down the server (on page 24).
2.Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed ("Open or remove the tower bezel" on page 25). o Extend the server from the rack (on page 24).
3.Remove the access panel (on page 26).
Operations 27
4.Remove the large redundant fan air baffle.
Remove the DIMM baffle
1.Power down the server (on page 24).
2.Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed ("Open or remove the tower bezel" on page 25). o Extend the server from the rack (on page 24).
3.Remove the access panel (on page 26).
4.Remove the large redundant fan air baffle, if installed ("Remove the large redundant fan air baffle" on page 27).
5.Remove the DIMM baffle.
Operations 28
Remove a fan blank
1.Power down the server (on page 24).
2.Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed ("Open or remove the tower bezel" on page 25). o Extend the server from the rack (on page 24).
3.Remove the access panel (on page 26).
4.Remove the large redundant fan air baffle, if installed ("Remove the large redundant fan air baffle" on page 27).
5.Remove the fan blank.
