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.
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.

HP Systems Insight Display LEDs

The HP Systems Insight Display LEDs represent the system board layout. The display provides status for all internal LEDs and enables diagnosis with the access panel installed.

Remove 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.
To remove the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 19).
2. Extend the server from the rack (on page 19).
3. Open the locking latch, slide the access panel to the rear of the chassis, and remove the access panel.
If the locking latch is locked use a T-15 Torx screwdriver to unlock the latch.

Install 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.
3. Use the T-15 Torx screwdriver provided with the server to tighten the security screw on the hood latch.

Remove the BBWC battery pack
