5.Power the system on.

6.Run the rssdm –L command to verify the SSD temperature. If the temperature remains below the thermal threshold limit, the SSD is ready for use at full performance. If the temperature exceeds the thermal threshold limit, the SSD can still be used but performance will be reduced because of the thermal limiting effect.

Problem: The Flash Translation Layer (FTL) rebuild status in the Windows Event Log and Real SSDManager does not steadily increase.

Solution: This is expected behavior because of the firmware algorithm that reports the progress of this rebuild. Whenever a drive experiences a nonstandard or unexpected power-down event, the drive needs to rebuild its internal LBA-to-NAND address lookup (FTL) tables to prevent data loss.

The drive does not respond to host commands during this rebuild. Because this process takes some time to complete, both the Windows Event Log and RealSSD Manager record the percentage complete until the drive is online again. In the RealSSD Manager, the progress of the rebuild is reported in both the CLI and GUI.

Problem: For HP PCIe Workload Accelerator SSDs with a driver from Support Pack version 128.07 or earlier, when the SSD enters write protect mode at end of life (EOL), the SSD will no longer be functional.

Solution: Before the SSD reaches EOL, update the driver to a version in Support Pack 131.02 or

later. To monitor EOL, poll SMART attributes 202 and 242. Note: When the SSD reaches write protect mode, the SSD will continue to have read access in the system, and therefore, data can continue to be backed up.
