Press and release the reset button quickly to soft reset the iLO 2 MP. Press the reset button and hold it for more than four seconds to hard reset the iLO 2 MP. A hard reset returns user-specified values to factory default values.

The following values are reset:

•Serial terminal baud settings

•User names and passwords

Manageability Status LED

The manageability status LED indicates the state and health of the iLO 2 MP. It is visible from the rear of the server.

Table 5-28lists manageability status LED states and their definitions:

I/O Subsystem

The I/O subsystem includes SAS, SATA, SCSI, DVD, HDD, and core I/O devices.

Verifying Hard Disk Drive Operation

Each hard disk drive has an activity LED indicator on the front of the drive.

NOTE: On HP Integrity rx3600 servers only the activity LED is used. The status LED is not monitored by the OS.

Lightpipes on the disk drive transmit light to these apertures from LEDs on the inside rear of the hot-swap mass storage cage. Verify that the activity LED shows the correct activity indication for all disk drives that you installed:

1.Power on the server and attached monitor.

2.During the boot sequence, watch the activity LED on each hard disk drive.

•The LED quickly cycles from amber to green and stays steady green until the drive spins up.

•When the drive is finished spinning up, the LED turns off.

3.If the activity LED stays illuminated steady green on a disk drive after the drive spins up, the drive cage may not be correctly installed. To check the installation, follow these steps:

a.Power off the server and unplug the ac power cords and cables.

b.Verify that the SAS interface is correctly installed.

c.Reconnect the ac power cords and cables. Power on the server and repeat steps 1 and 2. If any activity LEDs remain lit, contact HP.

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.
