The health LEDs are driven by the BMC; the System Power LED is driven solely by hardware. BMC code determines the state of the Internal and External Health LEDs. The iLO 2 MP code, examining incoming events using its event dictionary, determines the state of the System Health LED.

External Health LED

The front panel External Health LED indicates the status of the components that are externally serviceable. It is used to monitor the power supply. Whenever the external health LED is lit, the corresponding FRU for the failed component also lights.

NOTE: Failures that cause the External Health LED to light do not cause the Internal Health LED to light. These two LEDs cover failures of different components.

Table 5-5lists the External Health LED states

Table 5-5

External Health LED States

LED Color

Flash Rate

State

Off

Off

Health good on all external CRUs or system power is off.

Green

Steady

System power is on; externally serviceable components (accessible from front or

 

 

back, such as fans and power supplies) are healthy.

Amber

1 Hz

An externally accessible CRU failed. System is on or in standby mode. Usually,

 

 

this is a power supply or fan failure. Check front/back LEDs for failed component.

This LED is cleared when all failed externally accessible entities are repaired and report that they are healthy, or when the system goes into ac/standby power cycle.

Table 5-6lists the iLO 2 MP strings in the Virtual Front Panel (VFP) for the three states of the External Health LED

Table 5-6 VFP External Health Description

LED State

Description

Off

None.

Green

External parts, including fans and power supplies are healthy.

Flashing amber

A redundant, externally accessible CRU has failed. Check the front/back LEDs.

Internal Health LED

The front panel Internal Health LED indicates the status of the internal system chassis components. You must open the system to service these components. This LED maintains its state when the system is in standby mode (system power turned off but ac power still applied to the system).

The amber indicators on this LED correspond to internal health conditions that light other LEDs in the box, indicating which component must be serviced to correct the fault. For example, the Diagnostic LED board has a fault indicator lit when this LED shows amber. Failures that cause the Internal Health LED to light do not cause the External Health LED to light.

Table 5-7lists the internal health LED states.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
