integrated remote console feature for redirecting the VGA is only supported on the Windows OS.

For instance, by default HP-UX is configured to use text/serial as a console, using the iLO 2 MP as its console device. The iLO 2 MP provides this text/serial console through the iLO 2 MP LAN, and through the RS-232 console RS-232 port on the core I/O board. The primary console device used by any OS can be set in the EFI interfaces. For instance, Linux can be set to use a text/serial console, using the iLO 2 MP as its console device. Windows can be set to operate properly in headless mode, with the iLO 2 MP as its headless console device, and the VGA as its graphics console.

Troubleshooting the Server Interface

RS-232 connection: A dumb terminal or PC running terminal emulation software is attached to the iLO 2 MP local port and does not respond to a Control-B CR key sequence and the terminal is running 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and is ONLINE. The solution is that the iLO 2 MP is not operational or functional. Examine the following LEDs:

•iLO 2 MP heartbeat LED

•BMC heartbeat LED

Replace the core I/O board FRU if both heartbeat LEDs are not flashing green. If both heartbeat LEDs are off, check the power supplies, midplane board FRU, and I/O backplane board FRU.

LAN Connection Problems: See “I/O Subsystem ” (page 171). To locate these LEDs, see “Management Subsystem ” (page 170).

Environment

Ambient intake air temperature is often different from ambient room temperature. Measure the operating temperature and humidity directly in front of the cabinet cooling air intakes in addition to ambient room conditions.

Within the server, temperature sensors report chassis temperature to the BMC. The BMC controls fan speed, based on this information.

Temperature sensors are found on the display panel, where a thermal sensor detects the ambient room temperature. This sensor’s reading is the main parameter used to regulate fan speed under normal conditions.

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.
