PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP

The following describes configuration requirements for slots one through ten on the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe I/O backplane:

•PCI-X slots 1 and 2 are reserved for use by the core I/O cards PCI-X SAS core I/O cards and the Gigabit Ethernet LAN core I/O card. Slots 1 and 2 are not hot-pluggable. Install only supported PCI-X SAS and LAN core I/O cards in slots 1 and 2. Depending upon the number and type of SAS core I/O cards installed on the system, the Gigabit Ethernet LAN core I/O card may be installed in slot 10.

•Slots 3 and 4 are swtiched PCIe x8. PCIe slots 3 and 4 are used for the PCIe SAS Core I/O cards, but are public slots. If the PCIe core I/O is not installed, these slots are available for other PCIe I/O cards.

•Slots 5 and 6 are nonswitched PCIe x8.

•Slots 7 and 8 are nonshared slots. The maximum speed for cards in slots 7 and 8 is PCI-X 133 MHz.

•Slots 9 and 10 are shared slots. These two slots are limited by bus mode or frequency-related incompatibilities.

IMPORTANT: Slots 9 and 10 on the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe I/O backplane have the same configuration limitations as slots 9 and 10 on the PCI/PCI-X I/O backplane. See “Shared Slots” (page 197) for more information.

PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Card Path Logging Some PCI/PCI-X/PCIe failures result in I/O path logging. These paths help to indicate the source of the error and can be included in the error message or logged into console or event logs. Table 6-2 (page 197) describes the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe I/O paths for the server.

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.
