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 either of the following:

•Short the NMI jumper pins

•Use the iLO Virtual NMI feature

For more information, see the whitepaper on the HP website (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00797875/c00797875.pdf).

Remove the air baffle

Operations 28

CAUTION: For proper cooling do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components, minimize the amount of time the access panel is open.

1.Power down the server (on page 22).

2.Extend or remove the server from the rack ("Extend the server from the rack" on page 22).

3.Remove the access panel (on page 23).

CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery pack to the cache module. Detaching the cable causes any unsaved data in the cache module to be lost.

4.Remove the battery pack from the air baffle.

5.Remove the air baffle.

Hot-plug fan operation

CAUTION: To avoid damage to server components, fan blanks must be installed in fan bays 5 and 6 in a single-processor configuration.

The only two valid fan configurations are listed in the following table.

Configuration	Fan bay	Fan bay	Fan bay 3	Fan bay	Fan bay	Fan bay 6
	1	2		4	5
1 processor	Fan	Fan	Fan	Fan	Fan blank	Fan blank
2 processors	Fan	Fan	Fan	Fan	Fan	Fan

Operations 29

For a single-processor configuration, four fans and two blanks are required in specific fan bays for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan causes all fans to spin at high speed. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server.

Installing more than the required number of fans in a single-processor configuration is not a thermally supported configuration.

For a dual-processor configuration, six fans are required for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan causes all fans to spin at high speed. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server.

The server supports variable fan speed. 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 3 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 RBSU, iLO 3 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 RBSU.
