CAUTION: Failure to properly handle DIMMs can cause damage to DIMM components and the
system board connector.
CAUTION: Unlike traditional storage devices, NVDIMMs are fully integrated in with the ProLiant
server blade. 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.
Prerequisites
Before installing an NVDIMM, be sure the server blade meets the Server requirements for NVDIMM
support on page 62.
Procedure
1. Power down the server blade on page 21.
2. Remove the server blade on page 22.
3. Place the server blade on a flat, level work surface.
4. Remove the access panel on page 22.
IMPORTANT: When removing a DIMM baffle, do not remove the following options when
installed on the DIMM baffle:
• M.2 enablement option (left DIMM baffle)
• HPE Smart Storage Battery (right DIMM baffle)
5. Remove the DIMM baffles on page 23.
6. Locate any NVDIMMs already installed in the server blade.
7. Verify that all LEDs on any installed NVDIMMs are off.
8. Install the NVDIMM.
9. Install and connect the HPE Smart Storage Battery, if it is not already installed (HPE Smart Storage
Battery option).
