Installing the HP Eight-Internal Port SAS Host Bus Adapter

On HP Integrity rx3600 and rx6600 servers, the HP Eight-Internal Port SAS Host Bus Adapter is supported by HP-UX and OpenVMS operating systems. It should be installed in slot 1 if one card is to be installed, and slot 2 if slot 1 is already occupied.

The installation procedure involves the following steps:

•Preparing the server

•Installing the adapter hardware.

•Connecting the Adapter to Other Devices

•Completing the adapter installation procedure, including updating the firmware and installing drivers.

For more information, including configuring and troubleshooting, refer to the HP 8 Internal Port SAS Host Bus Adapter (SAS Controller) Users Guide which can be found in the I/O Cards and Networking Software collection under SAS Host Bus Adapters at:

Procedure B-2 Preparing the Server

To prepare the server for add or replacement, use the following steps:

1.Perform a normal system shutdown.

2.Power down the server.

3.Power down all peripheral devices attached to the server.

4.Unplug the ac power cord from the outlet, and then unplug it from the server

5.Disconnect all peripheral devices attached to the server.

Procedure B-3 Installing the Adapter Hardware

1.Remove or open the server access panel and locate the PCI/PCI-X bus expansion slots. (For detailed instructions, see the documentation that was provided with the server.)

2.Select the appropriate core I/O slot.

3.Open the MRL.

a.Press the indentation on the MRL to release it from the chassis wall.

b.Lift the edge of the MRL, and rotate it upward 90 degrees until it rests against the chassis wall and the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card bulkhead filler is fully exposed.

4.Remove the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe bulkhead filler. Save it to use for if you later decide to remove the adapter and leave the slot empty.

5.Insert the adapter into the slot, and press it firmly into place. The contacts on the adapter edge should be fully seated in the system board connector.

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.
