HP INTEGRITY RX3600 Physical and Environmental Specifications, Power Consumption and Cooling

Table 2-3 System Power Specifications (continued)

Parameter	Rating
Maximum per PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Socket	25 W per socket	25 W per socket
Maximum Configuration2	1095 W (3736 BTU/hr)	1056 W (3603 BTU/hr)
Minimum Configuration3	432 W (1474 BTU/hr)	422 W (1439 BTU/hr)
Typical Configuration4	685 W (2337 BTU/hr)	669 W (2283 BTU/hr)

1The infrastructure should be sized such that any single power supply can safely provide all the power required by the system.

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.

Power Consumption and Cooling

Table 2-4lists additional component power consumption.

Table 2-4 Additional Component Power Consumption

Additional Component	Power Consumption
	100-127 V ac	200-240 V ac
Each additional CPU	+125 W (427 BTU/hr)	+122 W (417 BTU/hr)
Each Additional (4x) DIMM	+32 W (109 BTU/hr)	+31 W (106 BTU/hr)
Each additional SAS HD	+17 W (58 BTU/hr)	+17 W (58 BTU/hr)
Each additional I/O Card	+30 W (102 BTU/hr)	+29 W (99 BTU/hr)

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.
