4.If the activity LED on a disk drive does not illuminate during the boot cycle, the disk drive may be installed incorrectly or its lightpipes may be damaged.

Check the lightpipe on the disk drive as follows:

a.Remove the disk drive.

b.Inspect the lightpipes for damage. If a lightpipe is damaged, contact HP.

CAUTION: The lightpipes are fragile. Be careful not to damage them when you inspect them or when you reinsert the disk drive.

c.Replace the disk drive.

d.Power on the server. Determine whether the LED illuminates during the boot cycle. If it does not, contact HP.

LAN LEDs

There are LAN LEDs on the rear bulkhead of the LAN HBA in PCI-X slot 2 of the HP Integrity rx3600 server.

HBA Bulkhead LAN LEDs

There are two 1 Gb LAN ports on the LAN HBA bulkhead. These are LAN A and LAN B. Table 5-29lists the 1 Gb LAN A interface provides three LEDs on the LAN bulkhead.

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.
