Removing and Replacing the Front Bezel

The front bezel provides server control and port access, and LED interfaces. You must power off the server to remove the front bezel.

NOTE: The procedures in this section see the upper portion of the front bezel; the lower portion of the front bezel is the processor access door.

Removing the Front Bezel

To remove the front bezel, 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.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).

5.Press the button located on top of the bezel and directly in front of the memory carrier assembly to release the processor board access door (Figure 6-18).

CAUTION: The processor board access door opens to approximately a 30 degree angle. Do not force the door to open to a greater angle. Failure to observe this caution results in damage to server components.

6.Use the processor board assembly access door as a handle and gently slide the assembly out of the chassis approximately six inches.

7.Remove the six screws that attach the bezel to the chassis (Figure 6-18).

8.Tilt the bezel away from the chassis (Figure 6-18).

9.Remove the plastic server label located to the right of the front panel LEDs.

a.Grasp the label, and pull it out until it stops.

b.Lift up on the notched retaining tab at the rear of the label until it clears the slot.

c.Pull the label completely out of the chassis.

IMPORTANT: You must reinstall the plastic server label into the replacement bezel.

10.Flip out the two pull handles located on both ends of the front bezel (Figure 6-18).

11.With pull handles open, slide the bezel to the right to release it from the chassis, and lift it off the chassis.

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.
