9. If it is not already installed, install the Smart Storage battery.
10. Install the access panel.
11. Slide or install the server into the rack.
12.
Connect each power cord to the server.
13.
Power up the server.
14.
If required, sanitize the NVDIMM-Ns. For more information, see
NVDIMM sanitization.
Configuring the server for NVDIMMs
After installing NVDIMMs, configure the server for NVDIMMs. For information on configuring settings for NVDIMMs, see the
HPE 16GB NVDIMM User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/nvdimm-docs).
The server can be configured for NVDIMMs using either of the following:
• UEFI System Utilities—Use System Utilities through the Remote Console to configure the server for NVDIMM memory
options by pressing the F9 key during POST. For more information about UEFI System Utilities, see the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website (
http://www.hpe.com/info/uefi/docs).
• iLO RESTful API for HPE iLO 5—For more information about configuring the system for NVDIMMs, see https://
hewlettpackard.github.io/ilo-rest-api-docs/ilo5/.
NVDIMM sanitization
Media sanitization is defined by NIST SP800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization (Rev 1, Dec 2014) as "a general term
referring to the actions taken to render data written on media unrecoverable by both ordinary and extraordinary means."
The specification defines the following levels:
• Clear: Overwrite user-addressable storage space using standard write commands; might not sanitize data in areas not
currently user-addressable (such as bad blocks and overprovisioned areas)
• Purge: Overwrite or erase all storage space that might have been used to store data using dedicated device sanitize
commands, such that data retrieval is "infeasible using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques"
• Destroy: Ensure that data retrieval is "infeasible using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques" and render the media unable
to store data (such as disintegrate, pulverize, melt, incinerate, or shred)
