CAUTION: Failure to properly handle DIMMs can damage the DIMM components and the system board connector. For
more information, see the DIMM handling guidelines in the troubleshooting guide for your product on the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise website:
• HPE ProLiant Gen10 ( https://www.hpe.com/info/gen10-troubleshooting)
• HPE Synergy ( https://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-troubleshooting)
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 NVDIMMs. It is important to act when HPE Smart
Storage Battery related failures occur. Always follow best practices for ensuring data protection.
