NVMe SSD components
The NVMe SSD is a PCIe bus device. A device attached to a PCIe bus cannot be removed without allowing
the device and bus to complete and cease the signal/traffic flow.
CAUTION:
Do not remove an NVMe SSD from the drive bay while the Do Not Remove button LED is flashing. The
Do Not Remove button LED flashes to indicate the device is still in use. Removal of the NVMe SSD
before the device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.

DIMM slot locations
DIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 12) for each processor. The supported AMP modes use the
alpha assignments for population order, and the slot numbers designate the DIMM slot ID for spare
replacement.
The colored slots indicate the slot order within each channel:
•White — First slot of a channel
•Black — Second slot of a channel
•Blue — Third slot of a channel
The arrow points to the front of the compute module.

Operations
Powering up the compute module
To power up the compute module, press the Power On/Standby button.
Powering down the compute module
Before powering down the compute module for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of
critical data and programs.
IMPORTANT:
When the compute module is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
IMPORTANT:
Always attempt a graceful shutdown before forcing the shutdown of applications and the OS with a nongraceful shutdown.
To power down the compute module, use one of the following methods:
•To perform a graceful shutdown of applications and the OS when powering down the compute module to
standby mode, use one of the following methods:
◦Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
◦Select the Momentary press power off selection in HPE OneView.
◦Select the Momentary press virtual power button selection in HPE iLO.
Always attempt a graceful shutdown first before forcing the compute module to power off.
•If a graceful shutdown fails to power down the compute module to standby mode when an application or
OS stops responding, use one of the following methods to force a non-graceful shutdown of applications
and the OS:
◦Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than four seconds.
◦Select the Press and hold power off selection in HPE OneView.
◦Select the Press and hold virtual power button selection in HPE iLO.
Application data can be lost when performing a non-graceful shutdown of applications and the OS.
Before proceeding, verify that the compute module is in standby mode by observing that the system power
LED is amber.
