•The version number in the first column (ROM Firmware Version) is the one currently installed on your system.

•The version number in the second column (ROM Version on Disk) is the one available on your Smart Setup media.

9.Compare the two version numbers and perform one of the following options:

•If the number in the first column is the same or higher than the number in the second column, your installed firmware is current. You do not need to update the firmware for this device! You can exit EBSU and quit this procedure.

•If the number in the first column is less than the number in the second column, your installed firmware is older than the version on your Smart Setup media. You must update the firmware for this device! Proceed to Step 9 and continue from there.

NOTE: The utility does not allow you to flash the firmware if the installed version is the same or higher than the version on the Smart Setup media.

10.Use the tab key to scroll down into the Device section and highlight the device name.

11.Press Enter to select the device (this puts an “X” inside the box on the left side of the device name).

12.Use the tab key to move to the OK selection and press Enter.

]The firmware update begins and proceeds automatically to completion.

Configuring the Array

provides two utilities for manually configuring an array on a Smart Array controller:

•ORCA, a simple ROM-based configuration utility.

•Array Configuration Utility (ACU), a versatile, browser-based utility that provides maximum control over configuration parameters

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.
