NOTE: Assembly side 0 is on the left, and assembly side 1 is on the right as viewed from the front of the chassis.

3.Slide the memory carrier assembly into the chassis until it begins to seat into the socket located on the processor board.

CAUTION: Do not apply excessive force when closing the extraction handles and seating the memory carrier assembly into the socket on the processor board. Manipulate the extraction handles with care; failure to observe these cautions can result in damage to the extraction handles and other server components.

4.Rotate the extraction handles inward and press the handles straight down until they snap into the locked position.

5.Replace the memory carrier assembly cover and latch the top cover release lever closed. See “Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 183).

6.If rack installed, slide the server completely into the rack. See “Inserting the Server into the Rack” (page 180).

7.Reconnect the power cables and power on the server. See “Powering On the Server” (page 94).

Removing and Replacing System Memory

System memory, or DIMMs, are located on a pair of memory boards inside the memory carrier assembly.

WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected from the server prior to performing this procedure.

Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.

Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

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

Removing System Memory

To remove system memory, follow these steps:

1.Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See “Powering Off the Server” (page 95).

2.If rack installed, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extending the Server from the Rack” (page 180).

3.Unlatch the cover release lever on the top cover and remove the memory carrier assembly cover. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 183).

NOTE: You do not need to fully remove the top cover to service this component; however, the top cover release lever must be open. You must remove the memory carrier because it attaches directly to the processor board.

4.Remove the memory carrier assembly. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly” (page 204).

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.
