Replacing the Core I/O Board Battery

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

1.Insert the replacement battery into the socket.

NOTE: The positive terminal of the battery is designated by a + sign. Install the battery with the + sign facing up.

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.Restore the iLO 2 MP configuration settings using the server console. For additional information about using the iLO 2 MP see the HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 2 Management Processor Operations Guide.

Removing and Replacing the SAS Core I/O Card

The SAS core I/O card connects to the SAS disk backplane and controls internal data storage operations for the server. There are four types of SAS core I/O cards supported on the server:

Half length generic SAS card (PCI-X)

Full length SAS card with RAID capability (PCI-X or PCIe)

Full length SAS card with RAID capability able to connect to external storage (PCIe)

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.
