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 and/or NVRAM deletes config uration information. Be sure to properly 
configure the server or data loss could occur. 
 
NMI jumper 
The NMI jumper allows administrators to perform a me mory dump before performing a hard reset. Crash 
dump analysis is an essential part  of eliminating reliability problems,  such as hangs or crashes in OSs, 
device drivers, and applications. Many crashes can fr eeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset. 
Resetting the system erases any informatio n that would support root cause analysis. 
Systems running Microsoft® Windows® experience a blue-screen trap when the OS crashes. When this 
happens, Microsoft®  recommends that system administrators  perform an NMI event by temporarily 
shorting the NMI header with a jumper. The NMI even t enables a hung system to become responsive 
again. 
 
FBDIMM slots 
FBDIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 8)  and the paired banks are identified by the letters 
A, B, C, and D.

Item ID  Color  Description 
1 Green  System Power LED. This LED glows steadily when the 
system is powered up and 12 V system power is 
available. This power supply is used to maintain the 
battery charge and provide supplementary power to the 
cache microcontroller. 
2 Green Auxiliary Power LED. This LED glows steadily when 3.3V 
auxiliary voltage is detected. The auxiliary voltage is used 
to preserve BBWC data and is available any time that the 
system power cords are connected to a power supply. 
3 Amber Battery Health LED. To interpre
t the illumination patterns of 
this LED, see the following table. 
4 Green  BBWC Status LED. To interpret the illumination patterns of 
this LED, see the following table. 
 
     
LED3 pattern  LED4 pattern  Interpretation 
— One blink every 
two seconds The system is powered down, and th
e cache contains data that has 
not yet been written to the drives. Restore system power as soon as 
possible to prevent data loss.  
Data preservation time is extend ed any time that 3.3 V auxiliary 
power is available, as indicated by LED 2. In the absence of 
auxiliary power, battery power alone preserves the data. A fully-
charged battery can normally preserve data for at least two days. 
The battery lifetime also depends on the cache module size. For 
further information, refer to the controller QuickSpecs on the HP 
website ( http://www.hp.com
). 
—  Double blink, 
then pause The cache microcontroller is waiting for the host controller to 
communicate. 
— 
One blink per 
second The battery pack is below the mi
nimum charge level and is being 
charged. Features that require a battery (such as write cache, 
capacity expansion, stripe size migration, and RAID migration) are 
temporarily unavailable until charging is complete. The recharge 
process takes between 15 minutes and two hours, depending on the 
initial capacity of the battery. 
— Steady glow  The battery pack is fully charged, and posted write data is stored in 
the cache. 
— Off The battery pack is fully charged, 
and there is no posted write data 
in the cache. 
One blink per 
second  One blink per 
second An alternating green and amber bl
ink pattern indicates that the 
cache microcontroller is executing from within its boot loader and 
receiving new flash code from the host controller. 
Steady glow  —  There is a short circui
t across the battery terminals or within the 
battery pack. BBWC features are disabled until the battery pack is 
replaced. The life expectancy of a battery pack is typically more 
than three years.

Power up the server 
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.  
Power down the server 
  WARNING:  To reduce the risk of personal  injury, electric shock, or damage to the 
equipment, remove the power cord to remo ve power from the server. The front panel 
Power On/Standby button does  not completely shut off system power. Portions of the 
power supply and some internal circuitry  remain active until AC power is removed. 
  IMPORTANT:   If installing a hot-plug device, it is  not necessary to power down the server. 
1. Back up the server data. 
2. Shut down the operating system as directed  by the operating system documentation. 
  NOTE:   If the operating system automatically places  the server in Standby mode, omit the next step. 
3. Press the Power On/Standby button to place the serv er in Standby mode. When the server activates 
Standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber. 
   IMPORTANT:   Pressing the UID button illuminates the blue UI D LEDs on the front and rear panels. In a rack 
environment, this feature facilitates locating a server  when moving between the front and rear of the rack. 
4. Disconnect the power cords. 
The system is now without power. 
 
Extend the server from the rack 
1.  Pull down the quick release levers on each side of the server. 
2. Extend the server until the server rail-release latches engage.
