HPE ProLiant DX360 Gen10 User Manual page 52

• A minimum of one regular DIMM: The system cannot have only NVDIMM-Ns installed.
• A supported operating system with persistent memory/NVDIMM drivers. For the latest software information, see the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://persistentmemory.hpe.com).
• For minimum firmware versions, see the HPE 16GB NVDIMM User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/nvdimm-docs).
To determine NVDIMM support for your server, see the server QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/qs).
Installing an NVDIMM
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, the air baffle, drive blanks,
and access panel must be installed when the server is powered up.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, be sure to install the
correct DIMM baffles for your server model.
CAUTION: DIMMs are keyed for proper alignment. Align notches in the DIMM with the corresponding notches in
the DIMM slot before inserting the DIMM. Do not force the DIMM into the slot. When installed properly, not all
DIMMs will face in the same direction.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before
beginning this procedure.
CAUTION: Failure to properly handle DIMMs can damage the DIMM components and the system board connector.
For more information, see the DIMM handling guidelines in the troubleshooting guide for your product on the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website:
• HPE ProLiant Gen10 (http://www.hpe.com/info/gen10-troubleshooting)
• HPE Synergy (http://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-troubleshooting)
CAUTION: Unlike traditional storage devices, NVDIMMs are fully integrated in with the ProLiant server. Data loss
can occur when system components, such as the processor or HPE Smart Storage Battery, fails. HPE Smart Storage
battery is a critical component required to perform the backup functionality of NVDIMMs. It is important to act
when HPE Smart Storage Battery related failures occur. Always follow best practices for ensuring data protection.
