2Maximum theoretical configuration: (2x) 1.8G/24M CPUs, (24x) 4GB DDRII DIMM memory, (8x) SAS Hard Drives, (8x) PCI/PCI-X/PCIe added to public I/O cards.

3Minimum possible configuration: (1x) Itanium 1.8G/24M CPU, (4x) 4GB DDRII DIMM memory, (0x) SAS Hard Drives, (0x) PCI/PCI-X/PCIeadded to public I/O cards.

4Half-loaded configuration: (1x) Itanium 1.8G/24M CPU, (12x) 4GB DDRII DIMM memory, (4x) SAS Hard Drives, (4x) PCI/PCI-X/PCIe added to public I/O cards.

If an overload triggers the power supply overload protection, the system is immediately powered off. To reset the power supply unit:

1.Disconnect the power cord

2.Determine what caused the overload by contacting an HP support representative

3.Reconnect the power cord, then reboot the system

If an overload occurs twice, there is an undetected short circuit somewhere.

When you use the front panel's power button to turn off the server, power consumption falls below the low power consumption, but doesn't reach zero. To reach zero power consumption in “off” mode, either unplug the server or use a power block with a switch.

Physical and Environmental Specifications

This section provides the temperature/humidity requirements, noise emission, and air flow specifications for the HP server.

Operating temperature and humidity ranges may vary depending on the installed mass storage devices. High humidity levels can cause improper disk operation. Low humidity levels can aggravate static electricity problems and cause excessive wear of the disk surface.

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.
