6.Grasp the TPM by the edges and lift it out of the socket on the I/O board (Figure 6-28).

CAUTION: Destroy the TPM after removing it from the server. Follow local regulations to securely destroy the TPM. Do not attempt to use the TPM in another server.

Replacing the TPM

To replace the TPM, follow these steps:

1.Insert the TPM.

a. Align the TPM connector pinouts with the pins on the I/O board socket.

NOTE: The female connector on the TPM has one pinout plugged, which aligns with a missing pin on the male connector on the I/O board assembly.

b. Push the TPM straight down into the socket until it is fully seated (Figure 6-28).

2.Replace the core I/O board. See “Replacing the Core I/O Board” (page 237).

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

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

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

6.Set the TPM to the prior state, if available, or to a customer preference. Example 6-1is an example of using the secconfig command to enable the TPM as a customer preference.

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.
