13. Slide the I/O board assembly all the way out the rear of the chassis (Figure 6-25).

NOTE: The I/O board assembly is large. Use care when lifting it out of the server chassis.

Replacing the I/O Board Assembly

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the I/O board extraction handles are in the outward, unlocked position to engage the assembly correctly with the midplane board socket.

NOTE: The I/O board assembly is large. Use care when sliding it into the server chassis.

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

1.Transfer the following components from the removed I/O board assembly to the replacement I/O board assembly:

a.SAS core I/O card. See “Removing and Replacing the SAS Core I/O Card” (page 239).

b.LAN core I/O card. See “Removing and Replacing the LAN Core I/O Card” (page 241).

c.Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Use Figure 6-28: “TPM Location on I/O Board”, to determine if there is a TPM on the removed I/O board assembly. If so, transfer the TPM from the removed I/O board assembly to the replacement I/O board assembly. See “Removing and Replacing the Trusted Platform Module” (page 233).

d.Core I/O board. See “Removing and Replacing the Core I/O Board” (page 236).

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.
