the ioconfig mps_optimize [onoff] command from a non-PCIe system, the following output will be displayed:

-------------

Shell> ioconfig mps_optimize

ioconfig: PCIe MPS optimization is not supported.

Shell> ioconfig mps_optimize on

ioconfig: PCIe MPS optimization is not supported.

To restore MPS to the default values use the default clear command. See “default” (page 327).

Processor

The server processor subsystem accommodates one or two dual-core Itanium® processor modules. The processor subsystem consists of the following elements:

•zx2 CEC front side bus, memory, and I/O controller

•System clock generation and distribution

•Circuitry for manageability and fault detection

The zx2 CEC and the processor modules are located on the processor board assembly. Each processor connects to the processor board through a zero insertion force (ZIF) socket. The processor board is mounted on a removable carrier tray that is attached to the processor board access door. Access the assembly through the front of the server after the memory carrier is removed.

Memory

The server DIMMS are seated on memory boards that are enclosed in an extractable memory carrier assembly. The memory boards plug directly into sockets on the processor board when the memory carrier assembly is fully seated.

Table 1-3lists the two types of supported memory carriers and the memory configurations of each carrier.

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.
