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 150.
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.

NVDIMM identification
NVDIMM boards are blue instead of green. This change to the color makes it easier to distinguish NVDIMMs
from DIMMs.
P = CAS 15-15-15
T = CAS 17-17-17
U = CAS 20-18-18
V = CAS 19-19-19 (for RDIMM, LRDIMM)
V = CAS 22-19-19 (for 3DS TSV LRDIMM)

Y = CAS 24-21-21 (for 3DS TSV LRDIMM)
R = RDIMM (registered)
L = LRDIMM (load reduced)

NVDIMM 2D Data Matrix barcode
The 2D Data Matrix barcode is on the right side of the NVDIMM label and can be scanned by a cell phone or
other device.
When scanned, the following information from the label can be copied to your cell phone or device:
• (P) is the module part number.
• (L) is the technical details shown on the label.
• (S) is the module serial number.

NVMe SSD LED definitions
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 LED is flashing.
The Do not remove LED flashes to indicate that the device is still in use. Removing the NVMe SSD
before the device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.

Hot-plug fans
CAUTION: To avoid damage to server components, fan blanks must be installed in fan bays 1 and 2 in
a single-processor configuration.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the equipment, do not operate the server for extended periods of time if
the server does not have the optimal number of fans installed. Although the server might boot, Hewlett
Packard Enterprise does not recommend operating the server without the required fans installed and
operating.
The valid fan configurations are listed in the following tables.

Fan blank Fan blank Fan Fan Fan Fan Fan

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).

Operations
Power up the server
To power up the server, use one of the following methods:
• Press the Power On/Standby button.
• Use the virtual power button through iLO.
Powering down the server
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical
server data and programs.
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.
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.
Extend the server from the rack
NOTE: If the optional cable management arm option is installed, you can extend the server without powering
down the server or disconnecting peripheral cables and power cords. These steps are only necessary with
the standard cable management solution.
Procedure
1. Power down the server (Powering down the server on page 30).
2. Disconnect all peripheral cables and power cords.
3. Loosen the front panel thumbscrews.
4. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
