Two hot-swappable ac/dc power supplies generate main system power, and a standby power voltage. One active power supply is sufficient to operate the system at maximum load. Each power supply receives ac power through the integrated ac inlet. The system can operate at 100-240 VAC and achieve 1+1 redundancy. The power supplies are power factor corrected and the maximum dc power output of the power system is 1095 watts. Service the hot-swappable power supplies are serviced by sliding them out the rear of the chassis.

Applying system power in normal customer usage, the rx3600 runs on 100 to 240 V. Standby power will be supplied on either; hence the BMC will power up when the power supplies are plugged in. The BPS0_AC_OK and BPS1_AC_OK signals indicate whether the ac voltage to the power supplies is within the required range. If neither BPS0_AC_OK nor BPS1_AC_OK is asserted, then the BMC should log an event and prevent the system from turning on.

Power Button The power button on the rx3600 is a momentary contact push button. The BMC polls the front panel power button at a rate of at least 2 Hz. The power button is an input to the System Power State Management. If the system is off, a single button press will turn on the system. If the system has booted to an OS, and a short button press is detected, a graceful-shutdown request will be sent to the system by pulsing ACPI_PWR_BTN_L; when the ACPI bits are set to note the O/S has shut down, the BMC will perform a hard power down. If the system has not booted to an OS, or if a long (5 second) button press is detected, the system will do an immediate hard power off.

System Power State Management The system power may be controlled from the power button, an IPMI Chassis command, Wake-On-LAN, loss or gain of ac.

Power On Sequence:

1.Update the cache of DIMM SPD information.

2.Ensure that the memory board is detected and that the cpu board has a processor in socket 0. If these FRUs are not detected the BMC logs an event against the Missing Device sensor (sensor 0x15).

3.Check for a BPS0_AC_OK or a BPS1_AC_OK signal. If neither is asserted, then the ac supply has a problem.

4.If any FRUs are missing or both ac supplies are not valid, then return to power off state.

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.
