CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure toproperly configure the server or data loss could occur.NMI functionalityAn 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 operatingsystems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action foradministrators is to restart the system. Resetting the system erases any information which could supportproblem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a memory dump before asystem 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 ("System board components" on page 9).For more information, see the HP SupportManual/c00797875/c00797875.pdf).Drive numberingThe server supports four LFF non-hot-plug SATA drives.Component identification 12
FBWC module LED definitionsThe FBWC module has three single-color LEDs (one amber and two green). The LEDs are duplicated on thereverse side of the cache module to facilitate status viewing.1 - Amber2 - Green3 - GreenInterpretationOffOffOffThe cache module is not powered.OffFlashing 0.5 HzFlashing 0.5 HzThe cache microcontroller is executing from within itsboot loader and receiving new flash code from the hostcontroller.OffFlashing 1 HzFlashing 1 HzThe cache module is powering up, and the capacitorpack is charging.OffOffFlashing 1 HzThe cache module is idle, and the capacitor pack ischarging.OffOffOnThe cache module is idle, and the capacitor pack ischarged.OffOnOnThe cache module is idle, the capacitor pack is charged,and the cache contains data that has not yet beenwritten to the drives.OffFlashing 1 HzOffA backup is in progress.OffOnOffThe current backup is complete with no errors.Flashing 1 HzFlashing 1 HzOffThe current backup failed, and data has been lost.Flashing 1 HzFlashing 1 HzOnA power error occurred during the previous or currentboot.

Fan locationThe server has one system fan located at the rear of the server.T-10/T-15 Torx screwdriverThe server includes a T-10/T-15 Torx screwdriver located on the front panel. Use this screwdriver to loosenscrews during hardware configuration procedures.Component identification 14
OperationsPower up the server1.Connect the power cord to the server ("Connecting the power cord" on page 28).2.Press the Power On/Standby button.The server exits standby mode and applies full power to the system. The system power LED changesfrom amber to green.Power down the serverBefore powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of criticalserver data and programs.WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standbybutton does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internalcircuitry remain active until AC power is removed.IMPORTANT: When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to thesystem.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 standbymode.Operations15
Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enterstandby 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 4.This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server entersstandby mode.Before proceeding, verify the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.Open the front bezelIf the front bezel is not secured from inside the chassis, open the bezel.If the front bezel is secured from inside the chassis, do the following (Perform steps 1 to 3 only if the serveris turned on.):1.Power down the server (on page 15).2.Disconnect the power cord from the AC source.3.Disconnect the power cord from the server.4.Remove the chassis cover (on page 19).Operations16
5.Slide the release tab upward to unlock the front bezel from the chassis.6.Open the front bezel.Remove the front bezel1.Open the front bezel (on page 16).Operations17
2.Release the bezel hinges from the front panel.Install the front bezel1.If the chassis cover was removed, install it ("Install the chassis cover" on page 19).2.Attach the bezel to the front panel, and then close it.3.If the chassis cover was removed, do the following:a. Connect the power cord to the server ("Connecting the power cord" on page 28).b. Press the Power On/Standby button.The server exits standby mode and applies full power to the system. The system power LED changesfrom amber to green.Operations18
Remove the chassis cover1.Power down the server (on page 15).2.Disconnect the power cord from the AC source.3.Disconnect the power cord from the server.4.Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.5.If a Kensington security cable is installed, disconnect it from the rear panel. See the security cabledocumentation for instructions.6.Loosen the rear thumbscrews that secure the chassis cover.7.Slide the chassis cover toward the rear panel, and then lift it to remove it from the chassis.Install the chassis cover1.Align the installation markers on the chassis cover with those located on the front edge of the chassis,and then slide the chassis cover back onto the server.Operations19
2.Tighten the rear thumbscrews to secure the chassis cover in place.3.Connect the peripheral devices to the server ("Connecting peripheral devices" on page 26).4.If a Kensington security cable was removed, connect it to the rear panel. See the security cabledocumentation for instructions.5.Connect the server to the network. Do one of the following:oConnect the Ethernet cable ("Connecting the Ethernet cable" on page 26).oConnect the server to the switch ("Setting up the HP PS1810-8G Switch (optional)" on page 34).6.Connect the power cord to the server ("Connecting the power cord" on page 28).7.Power up the server (on page 15).Remove the system board assembly1.Power down the server (on page 15).2.Disconnect the power cord from the AC source.3.Disconnect the power cord from the server.4.Remove the chassis cover (on page 19).5.It is recommended that you take a picture of the current system board cable connections for referenceduring server reassembly.6.If the drive cage is connected to a storage controller board, disconnect the Mini-SAS cable from theboard.7.Disconnect all cables connected to the system board.o24-pin system board power supply cableoSATA cable (only if an optical drive is installed)oMini-SAS cable (only if the drive cage is connected to the system board)oFront I/O cable (pulling up the blue loop to
