Applying Standby Power to the Server

To apply standby power to the server, follow these steps:

IMPORTANT: If the server has one BPS, plug the power cable into the receptacle labeled PWR 1.

1.Locate the appropriate receptacle on the rear of the chassis. Plug the power cord into the receptacle.

2.Observe the following LEDs at two different intervals to ensure the server is in the standby power state:

INTERVAL ONE After you plug the power cord into the server, the BPS flashes green and an no light is present on the hard disk drives.

INTERVAL TWO Approximately 30 seconds later, the BPS is green and no light is present on the hard disk drives. Standby power is now on.

LAN

The server has two LAN ports that can provide network connectivity.

Figure 3-16shows the available LAN ports for the server.

Figure 3-16 Rear Panel LAN Ports

To enable general network connectivity for the server, follow these steps:

1.Obtain valid IP addresses for each LAN port you plan to activate.

2.Connect the LAN cable from an available LAN port to a live connection on the network.

Setting up the console involves the following:

1.Determining the physical access method to connect cables. There are two physical connections to the Integrity iLO 2 MP:

•RS-232 serial port

•iLO 2 MP LAN port

2.Configuring the Integrity iLO 2 MP and assigning an IP address if necessary. Though there are several methods to configuring the LAN, DHCP with DNS is the preferred one. DHCP with DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. Other options include:

•ARP-Ping

•RS-232 serial port

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.
