AC Input Power, Power States | HP INTEGRITY RX3600 guide

AC Input Power

The server can receive ac input from two different ac power sources. If two separate power sources are available, you can plug the server into the separate power sources, increasing system reliability if one power source fails. The power receptacles are located at the rear of the chassis. They are labeled PWR 0 and PWR 1.

You can install a maximum of two bulk power supplies (BPS) in the server. Installing two BPSs in the server provides 1+1 redundancy, meaning that if one BPS fails, there is still enough power supplied to the server for it to remain operational. You must promptly replace the failed BPS to restore 1+1 functionality.

A minimum of one BPS is required to power the server. There is no 1+1 capability if only one BPS is present.

Power States

The server has three power states:

•standby power

•full power

•off

To get to standby power state plug the power cord into the appropriate receptacle on the rear of the chassis. The front panel power button is not turned on.

Full power occurs when the power cord is plugged into the appropriate receptacle and either the power is activated through the iLO 2 MP PC command, or the power button is activated.

In the off state, the power cords are not plugged in.

Table 3-8lists the server power states.

Table 3-8 Power States

Power States	Power Cable	Power Activated through the iLO 2 MP PC	ac Voltage	dc Voltage
	Plugged Into	Command; or Front Panel Power Button	Applied	Applied
	Receptacle	Activated
Standby power	Yes	No	Yes	No
Full power	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Off	No	No	No	No

NOTE: If the power restore feature is set to Always On through the iLO 2 MP PR command, the server can automatically power on to the full power state.

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.
