System maintenance switch
| Position | Default | Function |
|---|---|---|
| S1 | Off | Off = iLO 3 security is enabled On = iLO 3 security is disabled |
| S2 | Off | Off = System configuration can be changed On = System configuration is locked |
| S3 | Off | Reserved |
| S4 | Off | Reserved |
| S5 | Off | Off = Power-on password is enabled On = Power-on password is disabled |
| S6 | Off | Off = No function On = Clear NVRAM |
| S7 | - | Reserved |
| S8 | - | Reserved |
| S9 | - | Reserved |
| S10 | - | Reserved |
When the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared to erase all system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
CAUTION: Clearing CMOS and/or NVRAM deletes configuration information. Be sure to properly configure the server or data loss could occur.
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 Component identification 16 problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information by performing a memory dump before a hard reset.
To force the OS to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log, the administrator can do any of the following:
- Short the NMI jumper pins
- Press the NMI switch
- Use the iLO Virtual NMI feature

SAS and SATA hard drive LEDs
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 (top right) | Fault/UID LED (amber/blue) |
| 2 (bottom right) | Online LED (green) |
LED combinations
| Online/activity LED (green) | Fault/UID LED (amber/blue) | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| On, off, or flashing | Alternating amber & blue | The drive has failed, or a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive; it also has been selected by a management application. |
| On, off, or flashing | Steadily blue | The drive is operating normally, and it has been selected by a management application. |
| On | Off | The drive is online, but it is not active currently. |
| Flashing regularly (1Hz) | Amber, flashing regularly (1Hz) | Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the current operation and cause data loss. The drive is part of an array that is undergoing capacity expansion or stripe migration, but a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive. To minimize the risk of data loss, do not replace the drive until the expansion or migration is complete. |
| Flashing regularly (1Hz) | Off | Do not remove the drive. Removing a drive may terminate the current operation and cause data loss. The drive is rebuilding, or it is part of an array that is undergoing capacity expansion or stripe migration. |
| Flashing irregularly | Amber, flashing regularly (1Hz) | The drive is active, but a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive. Replace the drive as soon as possible. |
| Flashing irregularly | Off | The drive is active, and it is operating normally. |
| Off | Steadily amber | A critical fault condition has been identified for this drive, and the controller has placed it offline. Replace the drive as soon as possible. |
| Off | Amber, flashing regularly (1Hz) | A predictive failure alert has been received for this drive. Replace the drive as soon as possible. |
| Off | Off | The drive is offline, a spare, or not configured as part of an array. |
Hot-plug fans
The only two valid fan configurations are listed in the following table.
| Configuration | bay 1 | bay 2 | bay 3 | bay 4 | bay 5 | bay 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 processor | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan blank | Fan blank |
| 2 processors | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan |
For a single-processor configuration, four fans and two blanks are required in specific fan bays for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan causes all fans to spin at high speed. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server.
Installing more than the required number of fans in a single-processor configuration is not a supported configuration.
For a dual-processor configuration, six fans are required for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan causes all fans to spin at high speed. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server.
The server supports variable fan speeds. The fans operate at minimum speed until a temperature change requires a fan speed increase to cool the server. The server shuts down during the following temperature-related scenarios:
- At POST and in the OS, iLO 3 performs an orderly shutdown if a cautionary temperature level is detected. If the server hardware detects a critical temperature level before an orderly shutdown occurs, the server performs an immediate shutdown.
- When the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in RBSU, iLO 3 does not perform an orderly shutdown when a cautionary temperature level is detected. Disabling this feature does not disable the server hardware from performing an immediate shutdown when a critical temperature level is detected.
CAUTION: A thermal event can damage server components when the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in RBSU.
Operations
Power up the server
Press the power button.
Power down the server
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the server.
- Back up the server data.
- Shut down the operating system as directed by the operating system documentation.
NOTE: If the operating system automatically places the server in Standby mode, omit the next step. - Press the Power On/Standby button to place the server in Standby mode. When the server activates Standby power mode, the system power LED changes to amber.
IMPORTANT: Pressing the UID button illuminates the blue UID LEDs on the front and rear panels. In a rack environment, this feature facilitates locating a server when moving between the front and rear of the rack. - Disconnect the power cords.
The system is now without power.
Extend the server from the rack
- Pull down the quick release levers on each side of the server.
- Extend the server from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack. - After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server back into the rack, and then press the server firmly into the rack to secure it in place.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
