Devices, such as USB ports, that do not occupy a slot are referenced as being in slot XX. Slots that do not contain an I/O card will not be listed in the output. Using the output, confirm that a device detected in each slot that is populated.

13.Installing the OS

HP-UX, Windows, and Linux require reinstallation of the OS with the upgrade of the IOBP. See Figure B-1 (page 262) for more information.

14.Booting to the Operating System

See Chapter 4 (page 123) for this procedure.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the installation. Many servers are capable of producing energy levels that are considered hazardous and are intended to be serviced only by qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with these hazards. Do not remove enclosures or attempt to bypass any interlocks that may be provided for the purpose of removing these hazardous conditions.

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you are properly grounded before beginning this procedure.

CAUTION: When working with equipment installed in a rack, be sure that the equipment and rack are stable before beginning the installation procedure.

Slots 1 and 2 are dedicated for the PCI-X core I/O cards. The LAN core I/O card is installed either in slot 2 or slot 10 depending on the configuration. PCIe SAS core I/O cards are installed in slots 3 or 4 on the PCIe I/O backplane.

Cabling The cables that are required to connect the adapters and controllers to other devices are provided with most HP server products that need them. Table B-3lists some cables that can be used with these adapters and controllers. All HP cables are keyed so that they cannot be installed incorrectly.

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.
