5.Insert the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card into the empty slot and exert firm, even pressure to seat the card in the slot.

CAUTION: Ensure that you fully seat the card into the slot or the card can fail after power is reapplied to the slot.

6.Connect all internal and external cables to the PCI/PCI-X card.

7.Close the MRL.

a.Rotate the MRL downward 90 degrees.

b.Push the edge of the MRL down until it clicks into place on the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card bulkhead.

8.Close the gate latch to secure the end of the card if it is full length.

9.Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 57).

Removing and Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly

The memory carrier assembly encloses the system DIMMs. There are two different memory carrier assemblies available for the server:

•8-DIMM memory carrier assembly

•24-DIMM memory carrier assembly

The 8- and 24-DIMM memory carrier assemblies have two sides, 0 and 1, each of which contain a memory board. System DIMMs seat onto the memory boards.

Table 3-3lists the supported memory carrier assembly configurations.

Table 3-3 Supported Memory Carrier Assembly Configurations

Memory Carrier Configuration

Memory Boards Installed

8-DIMM memory carrier

Two 4-DIMM memory boards

24-DIMM memory carrier

Two 12-DIMM memory boards

WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected from the server prior to moving DIMMs.

Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.

Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.

CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.

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.
