7.Replace the memory carrier assembly side cover.

a.Insert the side cover tabs into the retaining slots at the base of the assembly (Figure 3-8).

b.Insert the tabs (Figure 3-8) into the slots on both sides of the extraction handle release button until the side cover snaps into place.

NOTE: To install DIMMs into slots on the other side of the memory carrier, turn the carrier over to the opposite side (side 0 or side 1) and repeat the installation procedure.

8.Replace the memory carrier assembly and latch the top cover release lever. See “Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly” (page 66).

Removing and Replacing the Processor Board Assembly

The processor board assembly holds one or two dual-core Itanium processors and is located beneath the disk drives and memory carrier assembly in the bottom service bay. The processor board is mounted onto a removable carrier tray which is retained in the service bay by a hinged access door.

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

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.

Removing the Processor Board Assembly

To remove the processor board assembly, follow these steps:

1.Unlatch the cover release lever on the top cover and remove the memory carrier assembly cover. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 57).

NOTE: You do not need to fully remove the top cover to service this component; however, the top cover release lever must be open. You must remove the memory carrier because it attaches directly to the processor board.

2.Remove the memory carrier assembly. See “Removing the Memory Carrier Assembly” (page 65).

3.Press the button located on top of the bezel directly in front of the memory carrier assembly to release the processor board access door (Figure 3-12).

CAUTION: The processor board access door opens at a 30 degree angle. Do not force the door to open to a greater angle. Failure to observe this warning results in damage to server components.

4.Use the processor board assembly access door as a handle and gently slide the assembly out of the chassis approximately six inches.

5.Grasp the handholds on the assembly carrier tray with both hands and carefully slide the assembly out of the chassis (Figure 3-12).

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.
