You can access the redundant ROM by setting S1, S5, and S6 to On.
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, NVRAM, or both deletes configuration information. Be sure to configure the server
properly to prevent data loss.
NMI functionality
An NMI crash dump creates a crash dump log before resetting a system which is not responding.
Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as failures of
operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only
available action for administrators is to restart the system. Resetting the system erases any information
which could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a
memory dump before a system reset.
To force the system to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, do one of the following:
• Use the iLO Virtual NMI feature.
•
Short the NMI header.
For more information, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
DIMM slot locations
DIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 8) for each processor. The supported AMP modes use
the letter assignments for population guidelines.

Operations
Powering up the server
The SL/XL Chassis Firmware initiates an automatic power-up sequence when the servers are installed. If
the default setting is changed, use one of the following methods to power up each server:
• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO .
• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
When the server goes from the standby mode to the full power mode, the server power LED changes
from amber to green.
For more information about iLO , see the
Powering down the server
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of
critical server data and programs.
CAUTION:
Before powering down the server, perform a backup of critical server data and programs. Removing
the server while the Do not remove LED is on may result in data loss or corruption. The server can
be safely removed from the chassis only after the Do not remove LED is off.
IMPORTANT:
When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
To power down the server , use one of the following methods:
• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter
standby mode.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS.
If an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO .
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server
enters standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.
Operations 21
