Removing and Replacing the System Battery

The system battery is located on the I/O board assembly. Replace the battery with only an identical or equivalent battery only. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING! Lithium batteries may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of batteries in a fire. Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

Removing the System Battery

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.

IMPORTANT: Before removing the system battery, record all boot and LAN configuration settings. (Find the settings using the INFO ALL EFI command.) You must reset these values after replacing the battery.

To remove and replace the system battery, follow these steps:

1.Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See “Powering Off the Server” (page 95).

CAUTION: You must remove the I/O board assembly to service the system battery. The removal and replacement of the I/O board assembly occurs through the rear of the rack for rack-installed servers. Carefully follow the removal and replacement procedures; you must first perform several tasks with the server extended out from the front of the rack. See “Removing and Replacing the I/O Board Assembly” (page 225) for complete instructions.

2.Remove the I/O board assembly. See “Removing the I/O Board Assembly” (page 225).

3.Locate the system battery on the I/O board assembly (Figure 6-26).

4.Insert a flat tool under the battery and carefully lift upward to pry the battery from the socket.

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.
