WARNING! Ensure that all anti tip features are employed (front and rear anti tip feet installed; adequate ballast properly placed; and so on) are employed prior to extending the server from the rack.

Extending the Server from the Rack

NOTE: Ensure that there is enough area (approximately 1.5 meters [4.5 ft.]) to fully extend the server from the front of the rack.

To extend the server from the rack, follow these steps:

1.Remove the T25 screws with the orange tags that fasten the front of the server to the rack (Figure 6-1).

2.Remove the large orange screws from the rear of the rack located on the left and right server slide rails. The server will not slide forward if these screws are not removed.

3.Flip out the two pull handles located on both ends of the front bezel (Figure 6-1).

4.Slowly pull the server forward by the handles until it is fully extended.

NOTE: The server is fully extended when the rail clips are locked in place and the top cover is completely accessible.

To insert the server into the rack, follow these steps:

1.Press the rail clips on both sides of the server inward.

2.Push the server into the rack until it stops.

Accessing a Pedestal-Installed Server

Follow these steps to access the internal components in a pedestal installed server.

1.Remove the pedestal kit feet by pulling them outward

2.Lay the server horizontally onto its right side.

3.Unscrew the thumb screws in the rear of the server.

4.Pull back on the side component using the finger grips.

5.Once the pedestal side has moved about 1/4 inch the side can be removed.

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.
