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 memory carrier assembly cover. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 183).

5.Remove the clear plastic cover.

6.Remove the memory carrier assembly. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly” (page 204).

7.Remove the processor board. See “Removing the Processor Board Assembly” (page 217).

8.Remove hot-swappable chassis fan units 2 and 3. See “Removing a Hot-Swappable Chassis Fan Unit” (page 184).

9.Remove the air baffle.

10.Disconnect the USB cable from the connector on the display board.

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

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

13.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, 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.

14.Disconnect the SAS data and power cables from the connectors on the SAS backplane board.

18.Remove the power supplies. See “Removing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply” (page 186).

19.Remove the fan cables from the fan 1 and fan 2 housing units.

a.Push the release tab down and push the cable connector toward the front of the chassis until the connector tabs clear the opening in the fan housing.

b.Guide the cable connector down through the opening in the fan housing.

c.Remove the cable.

20.From the front of the server use a Torx 15 driver to remove the five Torx screws attaching the midplane bracket assembly to the chassis.

21.Grasp the top edge of the midplane board sheet metal attachment and lift straight back to release it from the guide pins on the chassis

22.Pull straight out and up to remove the midplane board from the chassis.

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.
