1.Position the cover onto the opening above the memory carrier assembly.

2.Slide the cover toward the right side of the server until it is flush with the center chassis wall.

3.Slide the top cover forward until it is flush with the front of the chassis; push firmly.

4.Push the cover release lever down into the latched position (Figure 6-3).

5.Lock the cover release lever by turning the cam approximately 90 degrees clockwise.

Removing and Replacing a Hot-Swappable Chassis Fan Unit

There are three interchangeable, hot-swappable chassis fan units in the server. Fan unit one is located behind the memory carrier assembly. Fan units two and three are located in the center of the chassis between the disk drives and the I/O board assembly. You can replace the hot-swappable fans using the procedures in this section when system power is on or off.

CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before removing or replacing a fan unit. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.

NOTE: A hot-swappable device does not require interaction with the operating system before the device is removed from or installed into the server.

The dc power to the server does not have to be off to remove or replace a hot-swappable chassis fan unit.

Removing a Hot-Swappable Chassis Fan Unit

To remove a hot-swappable chassis fan unit, follow these steps:

1.If rack installed, slide the server completely out from the rack. See “Extending the Server from the Rack” (page 180).

2.Remove the top cover. See “Removing the Top Cover” (page 181).

3.Insert thumb and forefinger into the openings on the top of the fan and squeeze until the fan releases from the socket.

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.
