Replacing the Processor Board Assembly
To replace the processor board assembly, follow these steps:
1. Align the edges of the processor board assembly with the assembly guides in the chassis.
2. Slide the processor board assembly into the chassis until it begins to seat into the socket located
on the midplane board.
3. Push the processor board access door upward until it locks into position.
4. Replace the memory carrier assembly. See “Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly”
(page 187).
5. Replace the memory carrier assembly cover and latch the top cover release lever closed. See
“Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 167).
6. If rack installed, slide the server completely into the rack. See “Inserting the Server into the
Rack” (page 164).
7. Reconnect the power cables and power on the server. See “Powering On the Server” (page 81).
Removing and Replacing a Dual-Core Processor
The HP Integrity rx3600 uses dual-core processors. That is, each processor contains two cores that
function as separate processors. Dual-core processors double the processing power of the server
while maintaining the physical dimensions of a single processor.
The server can contain one or two dual-core processors that provide the following configuration
options:
• 1P/2C (One processor/two cores)
• 2P/4C (Two processors/four cores)
