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 NVDIMM. It is important to take action when HPE Smart
Storage Battery related failures occur. Always follow best practices for ensuring data
protection.
