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.Remove the processor board assembly. See “Removing the Processor Board Assembly” (page 217).

6.Open the processor cage (Figure 6-20 (page 220)).

a.Grasp the processor cage handle, and apply adequate force to rotate the handle upward.

b.Use the handle to rotate the cage closure approximately 90 degrees toward the front of the assembly until it stops.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the processor slot is entirely exposed. The processor must clear the cage closure for proper installation.

7.Locate the appropriate processor slot (Module 0 or Module 1) for the processor installation (Figure 6-20 (page 220)).

8.Remove the plastic airflow blocker covering the processor slot, if required.

9.Remove the protective dust cover from the processor socket, if required.

10.Ensure the cam on the processor socket lock is in the unlocked position (Figure 6-23).

CAUTION: The zero insertion force (ZIF) socket for the processor is locked and unlocked by half of a full turn of the processor install tool. The counterclockwise 180 degree rotation (half turn) unlocks the socket. A clockwise 180 degree rotation locks the socket. Attempting to turn the locking mechanism more than 180 degrees can severely damage the socket.

11.Remove any protective packaging from the new processor.

NOTE: Protective covers are installed to protect connector pins. Save these covers for future use.

12.Inspect the processor pins and verify that the pins are not bent.

13.Align the alignment holes on the processor with the alignment posts on the processor cage, and carefully lower the processor onto the processor socket (Figure 6-22and Figure 6-23).

CAUTION: Do not press the processor into the socket. When properly aligned, the processor pins seat into the socket. No additional pressure is required. Damage to the pins can occur if too much pressure is applied.

14.Lock the processor into the socket on the processor board (Figure 6-22).

a.Unfasten the processor install tool from the tool holder on the processor board.

b.Insert the processor tool into the hole that runs down the side of the heatsink.

c.Rotate the processor tool clockwise 180 degrees.

d.Refasten the processor install tool to the tool holder on the processor board.

15.Reconnect the processor power cable to the connector cable that attaches directly to the processor board (Figure 6-21).

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.
