For Networking Choice (NC) server models, the embedded NIC ports are not equipped on the server. Therefore, the
NIC LEDs on the Systems Insight Display will flash based on the FlexibleLOM network port activity. In the case of a
dual-port FlexibleLOM, only NIC LED 1 and 2 will illuminate to correspond with the activity of the respective network
ports.
When the health LED on the front panel illuminates either amber or red, the server is experiencing a
health event. For more information on the combination of these LEDs, see Systems Insight Display
combined LED descriptions on page 13).

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 on page 159.
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.
Off = No function
On = Restore default manufacturing settings
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.

the HPE DDR4 SmartMemory QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://
www.hpe.com/support/DDR4SmartMemoryQS).
NVDIMM identification
NVDIMM boards are blue instead of green. This change to the color makes it easier to distinguish
NVDIMMs from DIMMs.
To determine NVDIMM characteristics, see the full product description as shown in the following example:
Y = CAS 21-21-21 (for RDIMM, LRDIMM)
Y = CAS 24-21-21 (for 3DS TSV LRDIMM)

Optional rear device bay numbering
The optional rear device bay supports either 1 SFF drive in a SmartDrive carrier, or 2 uFF M.2 drives in
an HPE Smart Carrier M.2 (SCM).
When the HPE SFF Flash Adapter is installed, the uFF drives are recognized as 1 and 101.

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.
One-processor configuration
Fan bay 1 Fan bay 2 Fan bay 3 Fan bay 4 Fan bay 5 Fan bay 6 Fan bay 7
Fan blank Fan blank Fan Fan Fan Fan Fan
Two-processor configuration

28 Component identification
The loss of a single fan rotor (one standard fan) causes loss of redundancy. The loss of two fan rotors
(two standard fans or one high-performance fan) causes the server to initiate a shutdown.
The high-performance fans are used for 8 SFF +2 SFF 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
http://www.hpe.com/servers/ASHRAE.
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).
