To access the redundant ROM, set S1, S5, and S6 to On.

When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to restore all configuration settings to their manufacturing defaults.

When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position and Secure Boot is enabled, some configurations cannot be restored. For more information, see Secure Boot on page 145.

NMI functionality

An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and not responding to traditional debugging methods.

An analysis of the crash dump log is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hanging 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 use the iLO Virtual NMI feature.

DIMM slot locations

DIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 12) for each processor. The supported AMP modes use the letter assignments for population guidelines.

DIMM label identification

To determine DIMM characteristics, see the label attached to the DIMM. The information in this section helps you to use the label to locate specific information about the DIMM.

Component identification 27

The loss of a single fan rotor (one standard fan) causes loss of redundancy. The loss of two fan rotors (2 standard fans or 1 high-performance fan) causes the server to initiate a shut down.

The high-performance fans are used for 8-SFF +2SFF NVMe and 10 SFF drive configurations when NVMe drives are installed in the server. They are also required for ASHRAE compliant configurations. For more information on ASHRAE compliant configurations, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

The server supports variable fan speeds. The fans operate at minimum speed until a temperature change requires a fan speed increase to cool the server. The server shuts down during the following temperaturerelated scenarios:

• At POST and in the OS, iLO performs an orderly shutdown if a cautionary temperature level is detected. If the server hardware detects a critical temperature level before an orderly shutdown occurs, the server performs an immediate shutdown.

• When the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU), iLO does not perform an orderly shutdown when a cautionary temperature level is detected. Disabling this feature does not disable the server hardware from performing an immediate shutdown when a critical temperature level is detected.

CAUTION: A thermal event can damage server components when the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU).

Optimum environment

When installing the server in a rack, select a location that meets the environmental standards described in this section.

Space and airflow requirements

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack:

• Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.

• Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise support

• Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or

row of racks.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to

Setup 39

enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings.

When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.

CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

The 9000 and 10000 Series Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide 64 percent open area for ventilation.

CAUTION: When using a Compaq branded 7000 series rack, install the high airflow rack door insert (PN 327281-B21 for 42U rack, PN 157847-B21 for 22U rack) to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.

CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

• Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).

• Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.

The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:

• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the server or to increase the internal rack temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

Power requirements

Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option.

40 Setup

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the

AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over wiring and installation requirements of your facility.

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply. This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

Electrical grounding requirements

The server must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.

Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet strips for the server is not recommended.

Connecting a DC power cable to a DC power source

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or energy hazards:

• This equipment must be installed by trained service personnel, as defined by the NEC and IEC 60950-1, Second Edition, the standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment.

• Connect the equipment to a reliably grounded Secondary circuit source. A Secondary circuit has no direct connection to a Primary circuit and derives its power from a transformer, converter, or equivalent isolation device.

• The branch circuit overcurrent protection must be rated 27 A.

WARNING: When installing a DC power supply, the ground wire must be connected before the positive or negative leads.

WARNING: Remove power from the power supply before performing any installation steps or maintenance on the power supply.

CAUTION: The server equipment connects the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit to the earthing conductor at the equipment. For more information, see the documentation that ships with the power supply.

Setup 41

CAUTION: If the DC connection exists between the earthed conductor of the DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor at the server equipment, the following conditions must be met:

• This equipment must be connected directly to the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from an earthing terminal bar or bus to which the DC supply system earthing electrode conductor is connected.

• This equipment should be located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between the earthed conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the earthing conductor, and also the point of earthing of the DC system. The DC system should be earthed elsewhere.

• The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as the equipment.

• Switching or disconnecting devices should not be in the earthed circuit conductor between the DC source and the point of connection of the earthing electrode conductor.

To connect a DC power cable to a DC power source:

1. Cut the DC power cord ends no shorter than 150 cm (59.06 in).

2. If the power source requires ring tongues, use a crimping tool to install the ring tongues on the power cord

wires.

IMPORTANT: The ring terminals must be UL approved and accommodate 12 gauge wires.

IMPORTANT: The minimum nominal thread diameter of a pillar or stud type terminal must be 3.5

mm (0.138 in); the diameter of a screw type terminal must be 4.0 mm (0.157 in).

3. Stack each same-colored pair of wires and then attach them to the same power source. The power cord consists of three wires (black, red, and green).

For more information, see the documentation that ships with the power supply.

Rack warnings

HPE 16GB NVDIMM option

HPE NVDIMMs are flash-backed NVDIMMs used as fast storage and are designed to eliminate smaller storage bottlenecks. The HPE 16GB NVDIMM for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers is ideal for smaller database storage bottlenecks, write caching tiers, and any workload constrained by storage bottlenecks.

The HPE 16GB NVDIMM is supported on select ProLiant Gen10 servers and can support up to 12 NVDIMMs in 2 socket servers (up to 192GB) and up to 24 NVDIMMs in 4 socket servers (up to 384GB). The HPE Smart Storage Battery provides backup power to the memory slots allowing data to be moved from the DRAM portion of the NVDIMM to the Flash portion for persistence during a power down event.

For more information on HPE NVDIMMs, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/

info/persistentmemory).

Server requirements for NVDIMM support

Before installing an HPE 16GB NVDIMM in a server, make sure that the following components and software are available:

• A supported HPE server using Intel Xeon Scalable Processors: For more information, see the NVDIMM QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs).

• An HPE Smart Storage Battery

• A minimum of one regular DIMM: The system cannot have only NVDIMM-Ns installed.

• A supported operating system with persistent memory/NVDIMM drivers. For the latest software information, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://persistentmemory.hpe.com).

• For minimum firmware versions, see the HPE 16GB NVDIMM User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/nvdimm-docs).

To determine NVDIMM support for your server, see the server QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs).

Installing an NVDIMM

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, the air baffle,

drive blanks, and access panel must be installed when the server is powered up.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, be sure to install the correct DIMM baffles for your server model.

CAUTION: DIMMs are keyed for proper alignment. Align notches in the DIMM with the corresponding notches in the DIMM slot before inserting the DIMM. Do not force the DIMM into the slot. When installed properly, not all DIMMs will face in the same direction.

50 Hardware options installation

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly

grounded before beginning this procedure.

CAUTION: Failure to properly handle DIMMs can damage the DIMM components and the system board connector. For more information, see the DIMM handling guidelines in the troubleshooting guide for your product on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website:

• HPE ProLiant Gen10 (http://www.hpe.com/info/gen10-troubleshooting)

• HPE Synergy (http://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-troubleshooting)

CAUTION: Unlike traditional storage devices, NVDIMMs are fully integrated in with the ProLiant server. Data loss can occur when system components, such as the processor or HPE Smart Storage Battery, fails. HPE Smart Storage battery is a critical component required to perform the backup functionality of NVDIMMs. It is important to act when HPE Smart Storage Battery related failures occur. Always follow best practices for ensuring data protection.

After installing NVDIMMs, configure the server for NVDIMMs. For information on configuring settings for NVDIMMs, see the HPE 16GB NVDIMM User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website ( www.hpe.com/info/nvdimm-docs).

The server can be configured for NVDIMMs using either of the following:

http://

• UEFI System Utilities—Use System Utilities through the Remote Console to configure the server for NVDIMM memory options by pressing the F9 key during POST. For more information about UEFI System Utilities, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/uefi/docs).

• iLO RESTful API for HPE iLO 5—For more information about configuring the system for NVDIMMs, see

https://hewlettpackard.github.io/ilo-rest-api-docs/ilo5/.

NVDIMM sanitization

Media sanitization is defined by NIST SP800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization (Rev 1, Dec 2014) as "a general term referring to the actions taken to render data written on media unrecoverable by both ordinary and extraordinary means."

The specification defines the following levels:

52 Hardware options installation

• Clear: Overwrite user-addressable storage space using standard write commands; might not sanitize data in areas not currently user-addressable (such as bad blocks and overprovisioned areas)

• Purge: Overwrite or erase all storage space that might have been used to store data using dedicated device sanitize commands, such that data retrieval is "infeasible using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques"

• Destroy: Ensure that data retrieval is "infeasible using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques" and render the media unable to store data (such as disintegrate, pulverize, melt, incinerate, or shred)

The NVDIMM-N Sanitize options are intended to meet the Purge level.

For more information on sanitization for NVDIMMs, see the following sections in the HPE 16GB NVDIMM User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/nvdimm-docs):

• NVDIMM sanitization policies

• NVDIMM sanitization guidelines

• Setting the NVDIMM-N Sanitize/Erase on the Next Reboot Policy

NIST SP800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization (Rev 1, Dec 2014) is available for download from the NIST website (http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-88r1.pdf).
