properly configure the server, if not data loss could occur.
IMPORTANT:
HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller is disabled. Do not use the B140i controller when
the server is in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. Do not change the BIOS from UEFI to Legacy BIOS
mode on the StoreEasy 1650 Expanded Storage system. The operating system M.2 SSDs are
connected to the B140i. The B140i is only accessible when the system is in UEFI mode.

NMI functionality

An NMI crash dump creates a crash dump log before resetting a system which is not responding.
Crash dump log analysis is an essential part of diagnosing reliability problems, such as failures
of operating systems, device drivers, and applications. Many crashes freeze a system, and the
only available action for administrators is to restart the system. Resetting the system erases any
information which could support problem analysis, but the NMI feature preserves that information
by performing a memory dump before a system reset.
To force the system to invoke the NMI handler and generate a crash dump log:
Use the iLO Virtual NMI feature.
