An internally accessible CRU failed. The system is on or in standby mode.

 

 

Check the Diagnostic Panel or internal system LEDs.

The Internal Health LED clears when all failed internally accessible entities are repaired and report that they are healthy, or on any ac/standby power cycle. For details on how each LED in the Diagnostic panel is cleared, see “Diagnostics Panel LEDs” (page 150) and the HP Integrity rx3600 system specification.

System Health LED

This LED indicates the overall health state of the system, including the state of system firmware and the OS. If the LED is amber or red, the system needs attention. Examine the event logs for details of the problem.

The System Health LED performs the following tasks:

Carries forward the ATTENTION functionality of legacy Integrity and HP 9000 front panel designs

Indicates whether the server is up or down. External and Internal Health LEDs do not indicate whether the server is booted.

Covers the wide range of faults for which the software and firmware do not definitively state that a FRU must be reseated or replaced. External and Internal Health LEDs do not light unless the software or firmware makes a solid determination that a FRU must be reseated or replaced.

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.
