When the NVDIMM-N DRAM contains the only copy of restored data, perform the following procedure to

recover the information:

Procedure

Copy the data from the NVDIMM to some other storage device (such as SSD, HDD, or another

NVDIMM) as soon as possible (before cold reset or power loss).

Power down the compute module.

Remove the compute module.

Place the compute module on a flat, level work surface.

Remove the access panel.

Remove all DIMM baffles.

IMPORTANT:

Flip the DIMM baffle on top of the heatsink. Leave the Smart Storage Battery installed and on the

baffle when accessing the right DIMM baffle.

See "DIMM slot locations" to identify DIMMs installed in the compute module.

Observe the NVDIMM LEDs. Do not remove an NVDIMM when any NVDIMM LED in the system is

illuminated.

Remove the NVDIMM-N.

Install a replacement NVDIMM-N.

10. Install any components removed to access the DIMM slots and the HPE Smart Storage Battery.

11. Install the access panel.

12. Install the compute module in the rack.

13. Power up the compute module.

14. Sanitize the replacement NVDIMM.

15. Copy the data from the storage device to the NVDIMM-N.
