1 If all other LEDs are off, then no power is present to the compute module. (For example, facility power is not present,
power cord is not attached, no power supplies are installed, power supply failure has occurred, or the compute module is
not properly seated.) If the health LED is flashing green while the system power LED is off, the Power On/Standby button
service is initializing or that an iLO reboot is in progress.

DIMM slot locations
DIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 12) for each processor. The supported AMP modes use the
alpha assignments for population order, and the slot numbers designate the DIMM slot ID for spare
replacement.
The colored slots indicate the slot order within each channel:
• White — First slot of a channel
• Black — Second slot of a channel
The arrow points to the front of the compute module.

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

Operations
Powering up the compute module
To power up the compute module, press the Power On/Standby button after the power button LED has turned
amber.
Powering down the compute module
Before powering down the compute module for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of
the system and all data. Then, shut down, as appropriate, applications and operating systems. A successful
shutdown is indicated by the system power LED displaying amber.
IMPORTANT: Always attempt a graceful shutdown before forcing a nongraceful shutdown. Application
data can be lost when performing a nongraceful shutdown of applications and the OS.
Before proceeding, verify the following:
• The compute module is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is amber.
• The UID LED is not flashing blue.
NOTE:
◦ When the compute module is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
◦ If the UID LED is flashing blue, a remote session is in progress.
To power down the compute module, use one of the following methods:
• To perform a graceful shutdown of applications and the OS when powering down the compute module to
standby mode, do one of the following:
◦ Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
◦ Select the Momentary press power off selection in HPE OneView.
◦ Select the Momentary press virtual power button selection in HPE iLO.
• If a graceful shutdown fails to power down the compute module to standby mode when an application or
OS stops responding, force a nongraceful shutdown of applications and the OS. Do one of the following:
◦ Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than four seconds.
◦ Select the Press and hold power off selection in HPE OneView.
◦ Select the Press and hold virtual power button selection in HPE iLO.
