7.Replace the clear plastic cover.

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

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

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

Removing and Replacing the Interconnect Board

The interconnect board attaches the midplane board to the display board and the SAS backplane board.

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: System information is stored on the interconnect board. You must write serial number and model string information to the new interconnect board after installation.

Removing the Interconnect Board

To remove the interconnect board, follow these steps:

NOTE: Use the guide posts located on the chassis and the keyways located on the interconnect board to help you with the interconnect board removal and replacement procedures.

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

2.If rack installed, slide the server completely out from the rack. See “Extending the Server from the Rack” (page 180).

3.Remove the top cover. See “Removing the Top Cover” (page 181).

4.Remove the air baffle (Figure 6-33).

5.Remove the clear plastic cover.

6.Disconnect the USB cable from the connector on the display board (Figure 6-30).

7.Remove the DVD drive. See “Removing the DVD Drive” (page 202).

8.Remove the display board. See “Removing the Display Board” (page 242).

9.Slide the SAS drives and fillers approximately two inches out of the drive bays. See “Removing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive” (page 188).

CAUTION: When disconnecting the SAS cables, note the labeling on the cables. Both cables and sockets are clearly marked with the correct channel.When reconnecting these cables, you must 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.Disconnect the SAS data and power cables from the connectors on the SAS backplane (Figure 6-34).

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.
