2.Align the I/O board assembly rails with the chassis slots, and slide the assembly into the chassis until it stops against the midplane board socket (Figure 6-25).

3. IMPORTANT: Do not pinch the cable of the fan located behind the memory carrier assembly between the fan housing unit and the I/O board when sliding the board into the chassis.

4.Ensure the I/O board assembly is flush against the midplane board socket, and firmly push the extraction handles inward until the assembly plugs completely into the midplane board socket.

5.Press in on the retention levers to lock the I/O board assembly extraction handles into place.

6.Reconnect all external cabling into the ports at the rear of the chassis.

7.Close and secure the cable management arm.

8.Slide the server completely out from the front of the rack.

9.Reconnect the internal SAS cables to the connectors on the SAS core I/O card in PCI slot 1.

CAUTION: When reconnecting the SAS cables, note the labeling on the channel cables. Both cables and sockets are clearly marked with the correct channel. Match each cable with the appropriate socket on the SAS core I/O card. If the cables are mismatched, the server operating system may not reboot.

10.Reconnect the USB cable to the connector on the core I/O board.

11.Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 182).

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

IMPORTANT: Serial number and model string data information is stored on both the interconnect board and the I/O board. When installing a new I/O board, copy this information from the interconnect board to the new I/O board.

13.Respond YES to prompts regarding copying information onto the new board.

14.Verify the serial number and model string data information copied onto the new I/O board.

a.Boot to EFI.

b.Enter service mode using the following command:

Shell> sysmode service Current System Mode: ADMIN You are now in SERVICE mode.

c.Use the sysset command to verify that all values are set:

Shell> sysset

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.
