Nmi Functionality; Dimm Slot Locations - HP APOLLO 2000 User Manual

CAUTION:
Clearing CMOS, NVRAM, or both deletes configuration information. Be sure to configure the node
properly to prevent data loss.
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 node is in Legacy BIOS
Boot Mode.

NMI functionality

An 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 operating
systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the only available action for
administrators is to restart the system. Resetting the system erases any information which could support
problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a memory dump before a
system 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.

DIMM slot locations

DIMM slots are numbered sequentially (1 through 8) for each processor. The supported AMP modes use the
letter assignments for population guidelines.
