5.Initialize I/O Expander settings prior to turning on power.

6.Set Power Sequencer Order. Set system frequency in Power Sequencer.

7.Pulse BMC_PWR_CMD to tell the Power Sequencer to enable the voltages in the system.

8.Wait for SEQ_MPON to know the power sequencer has finished and check if SEQ_STATUS=0 for a fault condition. If a fault has occurred, scan sensors for the cause and generate events.

9.Perform any pre-Reset Hardware Setup needed while power is on.

10.Release Reset by setting MPON=1.

Front Display Panel, DVD, and Diagnostic Panel

The front display panel, DVD, and diagnostic panel are supported on a single board, called the display board, located in the front of the chassis. Service the display board from the top of the chassis.

The front display panel consists of the system status LEDs and a power switch. Use the front display panel to determine the power status of the server, monitor the server as it progresses through the boot cycle, and use the various LED states to assist with troubleshooting system problems.

A slimline DVD drive, or optional DVD+RW drive, is located above the hard disk drives in the horizontal orientation of the front panel.

There is a USB 2.0 port positioned between the DVD drive and the front display panel.

Each customer replaceable unit (CRU), with the exception of the power supplies, has a unique set of status indicators located on a diagnostic panel that you view through the top cover. CRUs include components such as individual memory DIMMs, processors, and fans. LEDs that correspond to each CRU illuminate when there is a problem.

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.
