Troubleshooting rx3600 SBA

The rx3600 server shares a common I/O backplane that supports a total of 10 PCI slots. Slots 1-2 on rx3600 systems with only one core I/O SAS card are for customer use. Slots 2-10 are used for core I/O functions on rx3600 systems with only 1 SAS core I/O card. The System Bus Adapter (SBA) logic within the zx2 chip of a rx3600 server uses 16 rope interfaces to support up to eight Lower Bus Adapter (LBA) chips. Each LBA chip interfaces with the SBA in the zx2 chip through one or multiple rope interfaces as follows:

•One LBA chip uses a single rope interface (used by core I/O) to support a single 32-bit/33-MHz PCI slot

•Three LBA chips use a single rope interface (one used by core I/O and two are for customer use) to support dual 64-bit/66-MHz PCI-X slots

•Two LBA chips use dual rope interfaces (both are for customer use) to support two single 64-bit/133-MHz PCI-X slots

•Two LBA chips use two quad rope interfaces (both are for customer use) to support two single 64-bit/266-MHz PCI-X slots

System Power (BPS and I/O VRM)

The two bulk power supply CRUs in the rx3600 chassis provide N+1 redundancy. Each power supply CRU is identified as 0 and 1 for logging purposes only. There are no LEDs on the diagnostic LED panel for the power supplies.

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.
