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.
