When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to restore
all 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 configuration.

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.
NVDIMM identification
NVDIMM boards are blue instead of green. This change to the color makes it easier to distinguish NVDIMMs
from DIMMs.

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.
Example: (P)HMN82GR7AFR4N-VK (L)16GB 1Rx4 NN4-2666V-RZZZ-10(S)80AD-01-1742-11AED5C2

State Definition NVDIMM-N Power LED
0 AC power is on (12 V rail) but the NVM
controller is not working or not ready.
1 AC power is on (12 V rail) and the NVM
controller is ready.
2 AC power is off or the battery is off (12 V
rail off).
3 AC power is on (12 V rail) or the battery is
on (12 V rail) and the NVDIMM-N is active
(backup and restore).
NVDIMM Function LED patterns
For the purpose of this table, the NVDIMM-N LED operates as follows:
• Solid indicates that the LED remains in the on state.
• Flashing indicates that the LED is on for 2 seconds and off for 1 second.
• Fast-flashing indicates that the LED is on for 300 ms and off for 300 ms.

• Solid blue = The drive is being identified by a host
application.
• Flashing blue = The drive carrier firmware is being
updated or requires an update.
2 Activity ring LED
• Rotating green = Drive activity.
3 Do not remove LED
4 Drive status LED
• Off = No drive activity.
• Solid white = Do not remove the drive. Removing
the drive causes one or more of the logical drives to
fail.
• Off = Removing the drive does not cause a logical
drive to fail.
• Solid green = The drive is a member of one or more
logical drives.
• Flashing green = The drive is rebuilding or
performing a RAID migration, strip size migration,
capacity expansion, or logical drive extension, or is
erasing.
• Flashing amber/green = The drive is a member of
one or more logical drives and predicts the drive will
fail.
• Flashing amber = The drive is not configured and
predicts the drive will fail.
• Solid amber = The drive has failed.
• Off = The drive is not configured by a RAID
controller.
SAS/SATA drive components and LEDs 25
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.

Drive bay numbering
Drive bay numbering depends on how the drive backplanes are connected:
• To a controller
◦ Embedded controllers use the onboard SATA ports.
◦ Type-a controllers install to the type-a smart array connector.
◦ Type-p controllers install to a PCIe riser.
• To a SAS expander
Installs in the primary or secondary PCIe riser
