Memory Loading Rules and Guidelines

Use the following rules and guidelines when installing memory:

•Install DIMMs in pairs for the 8-DIMM memory carrier and quads in the 24 DIMM memory carrier.

•Ensure that all DIMMs within a pair or quad are identical.

•Install pairs or quads in order of capacity from largest to smallest. For example, install all 2 GB quads before 1 GB or smaller quads, and install all 1 GB quads before 512 MB quads.

•Side 0 must have equal or greater memory capacity than side 1.

•Install DIMM pairs or quads based on the following rules:

1.Load pairs or quads into the memory carrier in order, starting with slot 0 and ending with slot 2.

2.Install the first pair or quad in side 0.

3.Install the second pair or quad in side 1.

4.For the remaining pairs or quads:

a.If both sides of the memory carrier contain the same capacity of memory, install the next pairs or quad in side 0.

b.If side 0 contains more memory capacity, even though it may have less DIMMs than side 1, install the next pair or quad in side 1.

c.If side 1 is full, install the remaining pairs or quads in side 0.

Table 3-6shows several examples of proper memory carrier loading order.

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.
