You can access the redundant ROM by setting S1, S5, and S6 to On.
When system maintenance switch S6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to erase all system
configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
IMPORTANT:
Before using the S7 switch to change to Legacy BIOS Boot Mode, be sure the
HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller is disabled. Do not use the B140i controller when
the server is in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.
NMI functionality
An NMI crash dump enables administrators to create crash dump files when a system is hung and not
responding to traditional debug mechanisms.
Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as hangs in 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.

Component identification 18
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.
NVDIMM LEDs
When the server boots up, all LEDs flash three times. Any LED activity not described in this section
indicates a possible error.

*The server ships with one PCIe3 riser cage installed in the primary riser cage connector.
Notes:
•"Primary" denotes the riser cage is installed in the primary riser connector.
•"Secondary" denotes the riser cage is installed in the secondary riser connector.
•Installing the riser cages listed in the table above in either the primary or secondary riser connectors
determines the form factor of the PCI expansion boards supported by those riser cages.
•FL/FH denotes full-length, full-height. HL/FH denotes half-length, full-height.
