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 jumper

The NMI jumper allows administrators to perform a memory dump before performing a hard reset. Crash

dump analysis is an essential part of eliminating reliability problems, such as hangs or crashes in OSs,

device drivers, and applications. Many crashes can freeze a system, requiring you to do a hard reset.
Resetting the system erases any information that would support root cause analysis.
Systems running Microsoft® Windows® experience a blue-screen trap when the OS crashes. When this

happens, Microsoft® recommends that system administrators perform an NMI event by temporarily

shorting the NMI header with a jumper. The NMI event enables a hung system to become responsive
again.

HP Systems Insight Display and LEDs

The display provides status for all internal LEDs and enables diagnosis with the access panel installed.
