Using the NMI Button
To enable your authorized Stratus service representative to diagnose problems with your system, you might need to create a dump file of the system's memory while the system is running.
One way to create a dump file is to press the NMI button (see Figure 3) on the active compute module.
You may need to press the NMI button more than once to generate the dump signal. However, do not press the NMI button while a dump is in progress. This may result in an unusable dump.
