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

a.Grasp the processor cage handle and rotate the cage closure inward toward the rear of the assembly until it is completely closed.

b.Apply adequate force to push the handle down until it is flush with the cage.

17.Replace the processor board assembly. See “Replacing the Processor Board Assembly” (page 218).

18.Replace the memory carrier assembly. See “Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly” (page 205).

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

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

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

22.Verify processor replacement and operation by using either the iLO 2 MP commands or the EFI commands.

Removing and Replacing the I/O Board Assembly

The I/O board assembly contains the following server components:

•System battery

•I/O voltage regulator module

•Core I/O board

•LAN core I/O card

•SAS core I/O card

•PCI/PCI-X cards

•Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

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 attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.

Removing the I/O Board Assembly

To remove the I/O board assembly, follow these steps:

1.Record the boot configuration settings. To find the settings, use the INFO ALL EFI Shell command.

2.Use Figure 6-28: “TPM Location on I/O Board”, to determine if there is a TPM on the I/O board assembly. If so, record the TPM settings to transfer to the replacement I/O board assembly. See the HP-UX operating system documentation for instructions.

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.
