Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage

HP shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage constitutes moderate to severe damage, such as punctures in the corrugated carton, crushed boxes, or large dents. Normal wear or slight damage to the carton is not considered shipping damage. If you find shipping damage to a carton, contact your HP customer service representative immediately.

Unpacking the Server

To unpack a server, follow these steps:

1.Read the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton; remove the banding and the outer carton from the server pallet.

2.Remove all inner accessory cartons and the top foam cushions, leaving only the server.

IMPORTANT: Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.

Checking the Inventory

The sales order packing slip lists all the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to verify that all the equipment has arrived.

NOTE: To identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.

Returning Damaged Equipment

If the equipment is damaged, contact your HP customer service representative immediately. The service representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory and assists you in returning the equipment.

Unloading the Server with a Lifter

WARNING! Use caution when using a lifter. Because of the weight of the HP Integrity rx3600 server, you must center the server on the lifter forks before lifting it off the pallet to avoid injury.

NOTE: HP recommends that you follow local guidelines when lifting equipment.

To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter, follow these steps:

1.Unpack the server.

2.Unroll the bottom corrugated tray on the side where you will place the lifter, and slide the server as close to that edge of the pallet as possible.

3.Break off any foam packaging that can prevent you from fully inserting the lifter under the server.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the foam packaging from the corners of the server. This foam is required to elevate the server and enable the forks of the lifter to be inserted under the server.

4.Insert the lifter forks under the server.

5.Roll the lifter forward carefully until it is fully positioned against the side of the server.

6.Raise the server slowly off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.

7.Roll the lifter and server away from the pallet. Do not raise the server any higher than necessary when moving it to the rack.

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.
