Issue

• HPE systems BL660c Gen8 system reboots apparently randomly or during a ramp-down (idling after heavy usage)
• No traces are left in logs, remote syslog or even monitoring the remote serial interface
• Server does not hang; it necessarily reboots
• HP ASR watchdog is disabled

• Remote serial port shows a similar output:
