•When the fan is functioning normally, the LED is off.

•If the fan fails, the LED is lit.

3.Replace the server top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 182).

Removing and Replacing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply

The server can have one or two hot-swappable power supplies. These power supplies are located at the rear of the server. The supported configuration of the server requires a minimum of one power supply. You can install or replace a hot-swappable power supply using the procedures in this section when system power is on or off.

CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before removing or replacing a power supply. 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 install or replace a hot-swappable power supply.

Power Supply Loading Guidelines

The supported configuration of the server requires a minimum of one power supply installed in slot P0 or slot P1. You can install a second, optional hot-swappable power supply to provide 1+1 capability. The left side (viewed from the rear of the chassis) hot-swappable power supply is identified as P0, and the second hot-swappable power supply is identified as P1 (Figure 6-6).

CAUTION: When a second power supply is not used, the empty power supply slot must remain covered with the supplied metal filler panel. Failure to observe this caution can result in damage due to overheating if the cover does not remain in place.

CAUTION: Install the hot-swappable power supply into the server before attaching the new power cord. Failure to observe this caution can result in damage to the server.

Removing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply

To remove a hot-swappable power supply, follow these steps:

1.Move the cable management arm from the rack slide nearest the power supplies just enough to allow access to the power supplies.

2.Remove the power cord plug from the power supply receptacle.

3.Grasp the handle and push the locking tab down with your thumb to release the power supply from the socket on the midplane board.

4.Support the power supply with both hands, and pull the power supply out of the server (Figure 6-6).

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.
