R710 and NMI
We were troubleshooting what appeared to be a memory issue and at one point initiated an NMI through the DRAC (and later physical) in the hopes of kicking off a system dump. The setup steps are as follows:
Windows 2k3 64bit Enterprise with a kernel dump set for a local drive.
NMI option in the BIOS Security settings enabled (for the physical button).
All that happened was a bluescreen with the following message:
*** Hardware Malfunction
Call your hardware vendor for support
*** The system was halted ***
There was no system dump, just a system halt. What is the purpose of an NMI if it will not trigger a system dump? Or did I maybe miss something in the setup?

I resolved this. One needs to set up a Registry entry like below:
1. Start Registry Editor.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value , and then add the following registry entry: Name : NMICrashDump
Data Type : REG_DWORD
Value : 1
