FBDIMM slot locations 
 
The server contains 16 FBDIMM slots on the processo r-memory board, which are numbered sequentially 
from 1 to 16. The paired banks are identified by the letters A through H. 
Four FBDIMM slots located on each optional memory  board are numbered from 1 to 4. The paired banks 
are identified by the letters A through D.

On, off, or 
flashing Alternating amber and

ictive failure alert has been 
received for this drive; it also has been selected by a 
management application. 
On, off, or 
flashing  Steadily blue  The drive is operating no
rmally, and it has been selected by a 
management application. 
On Amber, flashing  regularly (1 Hz)  A predictive failure alert has b
een received for this drive. 
Replace the drive as soon as possible. 
On  Off  The drive is online, but it is not active currently. 
Flashing regularly 
(1 Hz)  Amber, flashing 
regularly (1 Hz)  Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the 
current operation and cause data loss.
 
The drive is part of an array that is undergoing capacity 
expansion or stripe migration, but a predictive failure alert has 
been received for this drive. To  minimize the risk of data loss, 
do not replace the drive until the expansion or migration is 
complete. 
Flashing regularly 
(1 Hz)  Off 
Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the 
current operation and cause data loss.  
The drive is rebuilding, or it is part of an array that is 
undergoing capacity expans ion or stripe migration. 
Flashing 
irregularly Amber, flashing 
regularly (1 Hz)  The drive is active, but a pred
ictive failure alert has been 
received for this drive. Replace  the drive as soon as possible.

Battery pack LEDs 
     
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 inte rpret 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 char ged, 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 circuit ac ross 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. 
One blink per 
second  —  There is an open circuit across th
e 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.
