Server Subsystems
I/O
The server may contain either a 10-slot PCI/PCI-X IOBP or a 10-slot PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP. The
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe interfaces are classified under two major categories: public and private.
Public interfaces Public interfaces are PCI slot connectors that are left available to the customer
for the I/O-card adapters which they wish to install, based on their application needs, provided
the adapter is supported in the slot. All public slots support HP server traditional OL* hot-plug
operations.
Private interfaces Private interfaces are interfaces dedicated to meeting the core I/O system
requirements. There are two types of core-I/O: fast-core and slow-core, also known as the UCIO
(Unified Core-I/O). The Private slots and UCIO are not hot-pluggable.
Hot-plug PCI/PCI-X/PCIe hot-pluggable operations enable you to add or remove a
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card while the server is powered on. Each slot is physically separated with a
divider that contains a card extraction mechanism and a mechanical retention latch (MRL). Slots
3 - 10 on the 10 slot PCI/PCI-X IOBP and slots 5 - 10 on the 10 slot PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP support
HP-server traditional OL* "hot-plug" operations. PDHP slots rely on the facilities of DHPC (Dual

PCIe MPS Optimization
For PCIe-based systems, each PCIe device has a configurable MPS (maximum payload size)
parameter. Larger MPS values can enable the optimization to gain higher performance.MPS
Optimization is supported on PCIe systems running HP-UX, Open VMS, and Linux. System
firmware level greater than 02.03 performs an optimization during boot time to set the MPS
value to the largest size supported by both a PCIe root port and the devices below it.
The default server state is optimization disabled. When disabled system firmware sets MPS to
the minimum value on each PCIe device.
The info io command will display the current PCIe MPS optimization setting. See “info”
(page 328).
To enable PCIe MPS optimization use the ioconfig mps_optimize command. See “ioconfig”
(page 326).
For non-PCIe systems, ioconfig and info io will not display the MPS optimization policy
setting. TheSet PCIe MPS Optimization boot manager menu also will not be displayed. Running
28 Overview
the ioconfig mps_optimize [on|off] command from a non-PCIe system, the following
output will be displayed:
------------Shell> ioconfig mps_optimize
ioconfig: PCIe MPS optimization is not supported.
Shell> ioconfig mps_optimize on
ioconfig: PCIe MPS optimization is not supported.
Exit status code: Unsupported
Shell>
-----------------
To restore MPS to the default values use the default clear command. See “default” (page 327).
Processor
The server processor subsystem accommodates one or two dual-core Itanium® processor modules.
The processor subsystem consists of the following elements:
• zx2 CEC front side bus, memory, and I/O controller
• System clock generation and distribution
• Circuitry for manageability and fault detection
The zx2 CEC and the processor modules are located on the processor board assembly. Each
processor connectsto the processor board through a zero insertion force(ZIF) socket. The processor
board is mounted on a removable carrier tray that is attached to the processor board access door.
Access the assembly through the front of the server after the memory carrier is removed.
Memory
The server DIMMS are seated on memory boards that are enclosed in an extractable memory
carrier assembly. The memory boards plug directly into sockets on the processor board when
the memory carrier assembly is fully seated.
Table 1-3 lists the two types of supported memory carriers and the memory configurations of
each carrier.

Cooling
There are three system fans assemblies that cool the server. The fans are redundant, hot-swappable,
and interchangeable. You service the fans through the top of the chassis. The fans are N+1,
meaning that the server has three fans, but can operate for a very limited time with two fans
running. If the time threshold is reached, the server automatically shuts down to prevent an
overtemperature condition.
Server Subsystems 31

Power
The server power subsystem is designed to provide high availability with 1+1 power supply
redundancy. Figure 1-6 is a block diagram of the power subsystem, including voltage labels for
each main server subsystem that requires power.

Two hot-swappable ac/dc power supplies generate main system power, and a standby power
voltage. One active power supply is sufficient to operate the system at maximum load. Each
power supply receives ac power through the integrated ac inlet. The system can operate at 100-240
VAC and achieve 1+1 redundancy. The power supplies are power factor corrected and the
maximum dc power output of the power system is 1095 watts. Service the hot-swappable power
supplies are serviced by sliding them out the rear of the chassis.
Applying system power in normal customer usage, the rx3600 runs on 100 to 240 V. Standby
power will be supplied on either; hence the BMC will power up when the power supplies are
plugged in. The BPS0_AC_OK and BPS1_AC_OK signals indicate whether the ac voltage to the
power supplies is within the requiredrange. If neither BPS0_AC_OK nor BPS1_AC_OK is asserted,
then the BMC should log an event and prevent the system from turning on.
Power Button The power button on the rx3600 is a momentary contact push button. The BMC
polls the front panel power button at a rate of at least 2 Hz. The power button is an input to the
System Power State Management. If the system is off, a single button press will turn on the
system. If the system has booted to an OS, and a short button press is detected, a
graceful-shutdown request will be sent to the system by pulsing ACPI_PWR_BTN_L; when the
ACPI bits are set to note the O/S has shut down, the BMC will perform a hard power down. If
the system has not booted to an OS, or if a long (5 second) button press is detected, the system
will do an immediate hard power off.
System Power State Management The system power may be controlled from thepower button,
an IPMI Chassis command, Wake-On-LAN, loss or gain of ac.
Power On Sequence:
1. Update the cache of DIMM SPD information.
2. Ensure that the memory board is detected and that the cpu board has a processor in socket
3. Check for a BPS0_AC_OK or a BPS1_AC_OK signal. If neither is asserted, then the ac supply

has a problem.
4. If any FRUs are missing or both ac supplies are not valid, then return to power off state.
Server Subsystems 33
5. Initialize I/O Expander settings prior to turning on power.
6. Set Power Sequencer Order. Set system frequency in Power Sequencer.
7. Pulse BMC_PWR_CMD to tell the Power Sequencer to enable the voltages in the system.
8. Wait for SEQ_MPON toknow the power sequencer has finished and check if SEQ_STATUS=0
for a fault condition. If a fault has occurred, scan sensors for the cause and generate events.
9. Perform any pre-Reset Hardware Setup needed while power is on.
10. Release Reset by setting MPON=1.
Front Display Panel, DVD, and Diagnostic Panel
The front display panel, DVD, and diagnostic panel are supported on a single board, called the
display board, located in the front of the chassis. Service the display board from the top of the
chassis.
The front display panel consists of the system status LEDs and a power switch. Use the front
display panel to determine the power status of the server, monitor the server as it progresses
through the boot cycle, and use the various LED states to assist with troubleshooting system
problems.
A slimline DVD drive, or optional DVD+RW drive, is located above the hard disk drives in the
horizontal orientation of the front panel.
There is a USB 2.0 port positioned between the DVD drive and the front display panel.
Each customer replaceable unit (CRU), with the exception of the power supplies, has a unique
set of status indicators located on a diagnostic panel that you view through the top cover. CRUs
include components such as individual memory DIMMs, processors, and fans. LEDs that
correspond to each CRU illuminate when there is a problem.
Figure 1-7 Diagnostic Panel
Mass Storage
The server mass storage subsystem (SAS) features the following SAS components:
34 Overview
• Hard drives
• Cables
• Backplane board
• Core I/O cards
The server can contain up to eight SAS disk drives. The drives have LEDs that indicate activity
and device status, and an LED used to locate each drive. Additionally, there is a set of slot
availability LEDs positioned in the middle of the disk drive bays on the front of the chassis. The
illuminated LEDs indicate connection and power from a SAS controller to the bank of SAS disk
drive slots.
The disk drives plug directly into the SAS backplane board. There is one SAS backplane board
in the server.
Two cables connect from the SAS backplane board to the SAS core I/O card. Service the SAS
backplane board and SAS core I/O card from the top of the chassis.
Firmware
Firmware consists of many individually linked binary imagesthat are bound together by a single
framework at run time. Internally, the firmware employs a software database called a device
tree to represent the structure of the hardware platform and to provide a means of associating
software elements with hardware functionality.
The firmware incorporates the following main interfaces:
Processor Abstraction Layer (PAL) PAL provides a seamless firmware abstraction between
System Abstraction Layer (SAL) SAL provides a uniform firmware interface, and initializes
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) EFI provides an interface between the operating system
Advanced Configuration andPower
Interface (ACPI)
the processor and system software and platform firmware.
and configures the platform.
and the platform firmware. EFI uses data tables that contain
platform-related information, and boot and run-time
service calls that are available to the operating system and
its loader to provide a standard environment for booting.
ACPI provides a standard environment for configuring
and managing server systems. ACPI moves system power
configuration and management from the system firmware
to the operating system, and abstracts the interface between
the platform hardware and the operating system software.
This enables each to evolve independently of the other.
The firmware supports HP-UX 11i version 2, June 2006 release, Linux®, Windows®, and
OpenVMS 8.3 operating systems through the Itanium processor family standards and extensions,
and has no operating system-specificfunctionality included. All operating systems are presented
with the same interface to system firmware, and all features are available to the operating system.
User Interface
The Itanium processor family firmware employs a user interface defined by an HP standard
called Pre-OSSystem Startup Environment (POSSE). The POSSE shell is based on the EFI standard
shell. Several commands were added to the standard EFI Shell to support HP value-added
functionality.
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The system firmware generates event IDs for errors, events, and forward progress to the iLO 2
MP through common shared memory. The iLO 2 MP interprets and stores event IDs. Reviewing
Firmware 35
these events helps you diagnose and troubleshoot problems with the server. For more information,

Safety Information
Use care to prevent injury and equipment damage when performing removal and replacement
procedures. Voltages can be present within the server even when it is powered off. Many
assemblies are sensitive to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Follow the safety precautions listed below to ensure safe handling of components, to prevent
injury, and to prevent damage to the server:
• When removing or installingany server component, follow the instructions provided in this
guide.
• If installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component when power is applied (fans are
running), reinstall the server cover immediately to prevent overheating.
• If installing a hot-pluggable component, complete the required software intervention prior
to removing the component.
• If installing an assembly that is neither hot-swappable nor hot-pluggable, disconnect the
power cable from the external server power receptacle.
WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected
from the server prior to removing or installing server hardware unless you are removing
or installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component.
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 turned off.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can snag or catch on the server or on other items.
• Do not wear clothing subject to static charge buildup, such as wool or synthetic materials.
• If installing an internal assembly, wear an antistatic wrist strap and use a grounding mat,
such as those included in the Electrically Conductive Field Service Grounding Kit (HP
9300-1155).
• Handle accessory boards and components by the edges only. Do not touch any metal-edge
connectors or any electrical components on accessory boards.

Verifying site preparation is an essential part of a successful server installation. It includes the
following tasks:
• Gather LAN information. Determine the IP addresses for the iLO 2 MP LAN and the system
LAN.
• Establish a method to connect to the server console. For more information on console
connection methods, see “Console Setup” (page 80).
• Verify electrical requirements. Ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements
have been met.
• Validate server physical space requirements.
• Confirm environmental requirements.
For more information on server electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements, see
the HP Integrity rx3600 Server Site Preparation Guide and the Generalized Site Preparation Guide.
54 Installing the System
Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage
HP shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the
equipment arrives, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage
constitutes moderate to severe damage, such as punctures in the corrugated carton, crushed
boxes, or large dents. Normal wear or slight damage to the carton is not considered shipping
damage. If you find shipping damage to a carton, contact your HP customer service representative
immediately.
Unpacking the Server
To unpack a server, follow these steps:
1. Read the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton; remove the banding and
the outer carton from the server pallet.
2. Remove all inner accessory cartons and the top foam cushions, leaving only the server.
IMPORTANT: Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.
Checking the Inventory
The sales order packing slip lists all the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to
verify that all the equipment has arrived.
NOTE: To identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.
Returning Damaged Equipment
If the equipment is damaged, contact your HP customer service representative immediately. The
service representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory
and assists you in returning the equipment.
Unloading the Server with a Lifter
WARNING! Use caution when using a lifter. Because of the weight of the HP Integrity rx3600
server, you must center the server on the lifter forks before lifting it off the pallet to avoid injury.
NOTE: HP recommends that you follow local guidelines when lifting equipment.
To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the server.
2. Unroll the bottom corrugated tray on the side where you will place the lifter, and slide the
server as close to that edge of the pallet as possible.
3. Break off any foam packaging that can prevent you from fully inserting the lifter under the
server.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the foam packaging from the corners of the server. This foam
is required to elevate the server and enable the forks of the lifter to be inserted under the
server.
4. Insert the lifter forks under the server.
5. Roll the lifter forward carefully until it is fully positioned against the side of the server.
6. Raise the server slowly off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.
7. Roll the lifter and server away from the pallet. Do not raise the server any higher than
necessary when moving it to the rack.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Server 55
Installing Additional Components
This section describes how to install components into the server that are not factory integrated.

Installing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply
The server can have one or two hot-swappable power supplies. These power supplies are located
at the rear of the server. The supported configuration of the server requires a minimum of one
power supply. You can install or replace a hot-swappable power supply using the procedures
in this section when power is on or off.
CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to
follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
NOTE: A hot-swappable device does not require interaction with the operating system before
the device is removed from or installed into the server.
The dc power to the server does not have to be off to install or replace a hot-swappable power
supply.
Power Supply Loading Guidelines
The supported configuration of the server requires a minimum of one power supply installed
in either slot P0 or slot P1. You can install a second, optional hot-swappable power supply to
provide 1+1 capability. The left side (viewed from the rear of the chassis) hot-swappable power
58 Installing the System
supply is identified as P0, and the second hot-swappable power supply is identified as P1
(Figure 3-3).
CAUTION: When a second power supply is not used, the empty power supply slot must remain
covered with the supplied metal filler panel. Failure to observe this caution can result in damage
due to overheating.
Install the hot-swappable power supply into the server before attaching the new power cord.
Failure to observe this caution can result in damage to the server.
Installing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply
To install a hot-swappable power supply on the front of the server, follow these steps:
1. Remove the metal filler panel if necessary.
2. Support the power supply with both hands, and slide it into the empty slot until it clicks
into place (Figure 3-3).
IMPORTANT: Ensure the power supply is flush with the adjacent power supply or metal
filler panel.
Figure 3-3 Installing a Hot-Swappable Power Supply
Removing and Replacing Hot-Swappable Disk Drive Fillers
There are disk drive fillers installed on the front of the server for all slots that do not contain a
disk drive.
Installing Additional Components 59
IMPORTANT: For cooling purposes, always leave disk drive fillers in slots that do not contain
a disk drive.
Removing a Hot-Swappable Disk Drive Filler
To remove a hot-swappable disk drive filler, follow these steps:
1. Squeeze the tabs on the front of the filler to release it from the slot in the drive bay.
2. Pull gently until the filler slides out of the chassis.
Replacing a Hot-Swappable Disk Drive Filler
To replace a hot-swappable disk drive filler, follow these steps:
1. Orient the disk drive filler so that the release tab is on the left side of the filler and the airflow
holes are on the right side of the filler.
2. Insert the filler into the slot guides, and slide the filler into the slot until it clicks into place
and is fully seated.
Installing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive
There are eight hot-pluggable disk drives located in the front of the server. You can replace the
hot-pluggable disk drives using the procedures in this section when the server power is on or
off.
CAUTION: Drives are loaded in the factory, starting with number 8, working from right to left
and bottom to top. If you have never changed your SAS configuration before, you can safely
move SAS devices downwards as a block. If you have bays 6, 7, and 8 occupied you can move
them down to bays 1, 2, and 3 without having the hardware paths change during a cold-install
or recovery while the system is shut down, but you must move the disks in order and you cannot
rearrange them. For example, you can move bay 6 to 1, 7 to 2, and 8 to 3. After doing this you
can safely populate the SAS enclosure from bay 4 onwards. The same procedure can be performed
on bays 9 to 16.
CAUTION: A hot-pluggable device may require interaction with the operating system before
you can safely remove it from or install it into the server. Verify that the operating system supports
removing and replacing disk drives while the operating system is running. If the operating
system does not support this feature, shut down the operating system before attempting this
procedure. Failure to observe this caution can result in system failure.
TIP: When you receive an HP Integrity rx3600 or HP Integrity rx6600 server from HP, if you
ever plan to add other SAS devices into the system, you should consider moving the SAS devices
so they start in bay 1 going upwards instead of Bay 8 going downwards.
Installing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive
NOTE: The replacement disk drive must have the same product number as the disk drive that
you replace.
To install a hot-pluggable disk drive, follow these steps:
1. Use Figure 3-5 to determine the next available disk drive installation slot.
2. Remove the disk drive filler if required. See “Removing a Hot-Swappable Disk Drive Filler”
(page 60).
60 Installing the System
NOTE: Save the disk drive filler for future use. For cooling purposes, always place disk
drive fillers in slots that do not contain a disk drive.
3. Insert the hot-pluggable disk drive into the slot guides, and slide the drive into the slot until
it seats into the socket on the disk backplane.
4. Close the drive ejector handle by pushing it inward until it clicks into place.

information.
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP
The following describes configuration requirements for slots one through ten on the
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe I/O backplane:
• PCI-X slots 1 and 2 are reserved for use by the core I/O cards SAS core I/O card in slot 1 and
Gigabit Ethernet LAN core I/O card in slot 2. Slots 1 and 2 are not hot-pluggable. Install only
supported SAS and LAN core I/O cards in slots 1 and 2. Depending upon the number and
type of SAS core I/O cards installed on the system, the Gigabit Ethernet LAN core I/O card
may be installed in slot 10.
• Slots 3 and 4 are swtiched PCIe x8. PCIe SAS core I/O is installed in slots 3 and 4 on the
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP.
• Slots 5 and 6 are nonswitched PCIe x8.
• Slots 7 and 8 are nonshared slots. The maximum speed for cards in slots 7 and 8 is PCI-X
133 MHz.
• Slots 9 and 10 are shared slots. These two slots are limited by bus mode or frequency-related
incompatibilities.
IMPORTANT: Slots 9 and 10 on the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe I/O backplane have the same
configuration limitations as slots 9 and 10 on the PCI/PCI-X/ I/O backplane. See “Shared
Slots” (page 63) for more information.
Shared Slots
Shared slots have card compatibility restrictions. If one of the shared slots is occupied, the card
added to the second slot is limited by the configuration of the occupied slot. If the new card has
a slower capability than the current bus configuration, it fails. If the new card has a faster capability
than the current bus configuration, it only runs at the slower bus mode and frequency of the
current bus configuration.
The following are common configuration scenarios for cards that use shared slots. These examples
also apply to slots 9 and 10 because they are shared (both use a common bus).
1. If there is a PCI-X 66 MHz card in slot 7, and you hot-plug insert a PCI 33 MHz card into
slot 8, the operation fails. The new PCI 33 MHz card does not initialize and the slot powers
down because youcannot change bus speed during hot-pluggableoperations. The new card
has a slower bus speed than the current card.
Installing Additional Components 63
NOTE: If the server is rebooted in the new configuration, both cards initialize to run at
PCI 33 MHz. This is because the system firmware can only change the bus capability down
to the lowest common value.
2. If there is a PCI 33 MHz card in slot 7, and you hot-plug insert a PCI-X 66 MHz card into
slot 8, the new card works but it runs at PCI 33 MHz.
3. If the server is powered off and you insert a PCI 33 MHz card into slot 7 with a PCI-X 66
MHz card is installed in slot 8), then both cards run at PCI 33 MHz when the server powers
up.
Table 3-2 lists the PCI/PCI-X card slot frequency and bus mode compatibility for shared slots.

Memory Installation Conventions
Before installing memory, read and understand the following memory installation conventions:
• Supported DIMM sizes and memory configurations
• DIMM load order
• DIMM slot IDs
Supported DIMM Sizes and Memory Configurations
The standard server configuration includes an 8-DIMM memory carrier which contains two
4-DIMM memory boards. An optional, high-capacity memory configuration is also available: a
24-DIMM memory carrier containing two 12-DIMM memory boards.
System DIMMs seat onto the memory boards. The minimum server configuration requires at
least one memory pair in the 8-DIMM memory carrier, and one memory quad (group of four
DIMMs) in the 24-DIMM memory carrier.
The following are the supported DIMM sizes for the server:
• 512 MB
• 1 GB
• 2 GB
• 4 GB
Table 3-4 lists the supported memory configurations for the server.

MB DIMMs)
Memory Load Order
When installing memory, use a minimum of one pair in the 8-DIMM memory carrier, and one
quad in the 24-DIMM memory carrier, of like-sized DIMMs. Insert additional DIMMs into the
memory carriers in the next available pair or quad, in order of capacity from largest to smallest.
Install DIMMs into the appropriate slots on the memory carrier board; each slot has a unique
ID. Use Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10 to determine where to install DIMMs on the memory carrier
board.
CAUTION: Do not mix DIMM sizes or types within a pair or quad. Load DIMM pairs and quads
in order of capacity from largest to smallest. For example, if you have a quad of 2 GB DIMMs
and a quad of 1 GB DIMMs, install the quad of 2 GB DIMMs first.
Failure to observe these cautions results in system degradation or failure
8-DIMM Memory Carrier Load Order The 8-DIMM memory carrier has two sides labeled side
0 and side 1, each of which contains a memory carrier board. The 8-DIMM memory carrier can
contain one to four pairs of memory. Pairs of memory are divided equally between the two sides
of the memory carrier. For example, if you have two pairs of memory to install, load two DIMMs
in slots 0A and 0B of side 0, and load two DIMMs in slots 0A and 0B of side 1.
Table 3-5 lists the 8-DIMM memory carrier load order.
68 Installing the System

Slot IDMemory Carrier SidePair Number
0A; 0BSide 01
0A; 0BSide 12
1A; 1BSide 03
1A; 1BSide 14
The DIMM slot IDS are the same for both 8-DIMM memory carrier boards. Unique slots are
identified within the carrier by the side in which they reside. For example, slot 0A is identified
as slot 0A, side 0; or slot 0A, side 1.
Figure 3-9 shows the DIMM slot IDs for the 8-DIMM memory carrier board.
Figure 3-9 8-DIMM Memory Carrier Board Slot IDs
24-DIMM Memory Carrier Load Order The 24-DIMM memory carrier has two sides, labeled
side 0 and side 1, each of which contains a memory carrier board. The 24-DIMM memory carrier
can contain up to six quads of memory. DIMM quads are loaded in order of size from largest to
smallest capacity.
DIMM quads are loaded in a certain way to balance the memory capacity between the two sides
of the memory carrier, startingwith side 0. If you have more than two quads ofmemory to install,
load the first quad into slots 0A-0D of side 0, and load the second quad into slots 0A-0D of side
1. For the third and remaining quads of memory see “Memory Loading Rules and Guidelines”
(page 70).
The DIMM slot IDS are the same for both 24-DIMM memory carrier boards. Unique slots are
identified within the carrier by the side in which they reside. For example, slot 0A is identified
as slot 0A, side 0; or slot 0A, side 1.
Figure 3-10 shows the DIMM slot IDs for the 24-DIMM memory carrier board.
Installing Additional Components 69
Figure 3-10 24-DIMM Memory Carrier Board Slot IDs
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 3-6 shows several examples of proper memory carrier loading order.

HP Rack
HP servers that are installed into racks are shipped with equipment mounting slides. An
installation guide comes with each set of slides: HP 3-7U Quick Deploy Rail System Installation
Instructions for HP Products. Follow the steps in this installation guide to determine where and
how to install the server into the rack.
The following are additional instructions for installing the HP Integrity rx3600 server into the
rack:
1. The cable management arm (CMA) is factory configured to mount on the left side of the
server as viewed from the rear of the chassis. You must switch the CMA from a left to a
right-mount configuration. The CMA is mounted on the right side of the server to ensure
easy removal of the power supplies.
2. Remove two T25 screws with the orange tags from the server bezel; one screw from the
same location on each side of the server. The screws are located behind the pull handles.
3. Remove the large orange screws from the rear of the rack located on the left and right server
slide rails. The server will not slide forward if these screws are not removed.
Non-HP Rack
The guide Mounting in non-HP racks enables you to evaluate the installation of HP equipment
into non-HP racks. Use this guide when you need to qualify whether you can install, maintain,
and service any HP equipment in a non-HP rack.
The guide is located on the Web at:
http://www.hp.com/racksolutions
Select mounting information from the menu, then select Mounting in non-HP racks.
Installing the Server into a Pedestal Mount
The server ships with a pedestal mount if you order the rackless configuration option. The
pedestal mount is packaged in a separate carton that is attached to the server carton.
To change the server from a rack mount to a rackless configuration, you need a Server Rackless
Mount Kit. The rackless mount kit comes with the HP Integrity rx3600 Rack to Pedestal Conversion
Guide. Follow the steps in the HP Integrity rx3600 Rack to Pedestal Conversion Guide to attach the
pedestal mount to the server.
Connecting the Cables
This section provides information on the cables that power the server and provide LAN
connectivity for the server.
This section addresses the following topics:
• “AC Input Power” (page 79)
• “LAN” (page 80)
78 Installing the System
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 3-8 lists the server power states.

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 3-16 shows 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.
Console Setup
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 defaultuser account
and password. Other options include:
• ARP-Ping
• RS-232 serial port

Overview
A console is a tool consisting of display and input devices used to locally and remotely monitor
and control the server. The console enables interaction with the following manageability,
configuration, and diagnostic tools:
• Integrated Lights-Out 2 Management processor (iLO 2 MP). Provides a way to connect to
the server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware. It controls
power, reset, and Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities; provides console access; displays
and records system events; and displays detailed information about internal subsystems.
The iLO 2 MP is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the
server main power switch is turned off.
NOTE: For more information on the integrated lights-out management processor, see the
HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 2 Management Processor Operations Guide.
• Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). Provides an interface between the operating system
and the firmware. Use the EFI to configure options, such as the server boot order, before the
server loads an operating system.

IMPORTANT: Windows 2003 Server places the video controller into a non-standard resolution with a refresh rate
of 55Hz. Some LCD monitors are not capable of rendering a screen with refresh rates lower than 60Hz. Use one of
the following methods to resolve this issue:
• Use a monitor capable of 55Hz refresh rates. Virtually all analog monitors and the majority of LCD monitors are
capable of this.
• Use a LAN-based client to remotely access the server's iLO2 Integrated Remote Console (vKVM) feature for the
installation.

Determining the iLO 2 MP LAN Configuration Method
To access the iLO 2 MP through the iLO 2 MP LAN, the iLO 2 MP must acquire an IP address.
The way the iLO 2 MP acquires an IP address is dependent upon whether DHCP is enabled or
disabled on the server, and if DHCP and DNS services are available to the server. (See Table 3-12
for possible scenarios.)
Once you have determined the iLO 2 MP access, you must determine how you will configure
the iLO 2 MP LAN in order to acquire an IP address. There are three methods available.
• DHCP/DNS
• ARP Ping
• RS-232 serial port
Table 3-12 provides all the possible scenarios to consider. Use this table to help you select the
appropriate LAN configuration method to obtain an IP address.

Cannot set up the LAN. Reconsider your criteria.NoNoYes
Once you have determined how you will configure the iLO 2 MP LAN in order to acquire an IP
address, you must configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the selected method.
Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using DHCP and DNS
DHCP automatically configures all DHCP-enabledservers with IP addresses, subnet masks, and
gateway addresses. All HP Integrity entry class servers with the iLO 2 MP are shipped from the
factory with DHCP enabled.
HP recommends using the DHCP and DNS method to simplify access to the iLO 2 MP.
NOTE: You can use ARP Ping regardless of the status of DHCP unless an IP address has ever
been acquiredusing DHCP. Once an IP address is assigned using DHCP, ARP Ping is permanently
disabled.
When you use DHCP and DNS, you can connect to the iLO 2 MP by typing the default host name
in your browser rather than an IP address only if the following applies:
Console Setup 85
• DHCP must be enabled (DHCP is enabled by default).
• You are using a DHCP server that provides the domain name.
• The primary DNS server accepts dynamic DNS (DDNS) updates.
• The primary DNS server IP address has been configured through the DHCP server.
IMPORTANT: You must know the DNS domain name, which is served out by the DHCP server,
unless it’s domain is local or the same domain.
To configure the iLO 2 MP using DHCP and DNS, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the factory-set host name from the iLO 2 MP Media Access Protocol (MAC) address
label on the server. The default host name is 14 characters long, consisting of the letters mp
followed by the 12 characters of the MAC address as in this example:
mp0014c29c064f
This address is assigned to the iLO 2 MP core IO board. The core IO board has a unique
MAC address that identifies the hardware on the network.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the core IO board and not the
MAC address to the server core LAN card.
2. Connect the LAN cable from the server to an active network port.
3. Apply ac power to the server.
4. Open a browser, telnet, or SSH client and enter the default host name. The default host name
is the letters mp followed by the 12 characters of the MAC address. The iLO 2 MP Log In
window opens.
5. Log in using the default user name and password.
CAUTION: When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because anyone
can access the iLO 2 MP until you change the default user name and password.
HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding.
Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using ARP Ping
NOTE: You can use ARP Ping regardless of the status of DHCP unless an IP address has ever
been acquiredusing DHCP. Once an IP address is assigned using DHCP, ARP Ping is permanently
disabled. Some DHCP server options can cause the apparent issuance of ARP Ping to the iLO 2
MP which will negate the DHCP/DDNS method.
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Packet Internet Grouper (Ping) utility uses ARP
packets to ping, or discover, a device on the local network segment. The IP address you assign
to the server must use the same network segment, or subnet, as the computer assigning the
address. ARP does not work across routed or switched networks.
Use the ARP Ping utility to assign a static IP address when you do not have access to the RS-232
serial port or when DHCP is not available.
86 Installing the System
NOTE: ARP Ping operational issues:
• The PC and the server must be on the same physical subnet.
• When a new server is first booted, DHCP is automatically available (factory-set default);
but ARP Ping does not start for three minutes after the iLO 2 MP is booted. This applies to
every subsequent boot of the iLO 2 MP until an IP address is obtained by DHCP or has been
assigned by using the LC command.
• Upon successfully assigning an IP address using ARP Ping, DHCP is automatically disabled.
There are two methods to use the ARP Ping utility:
1. Connect a PC to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server and run the
ARP Ping commands from the PC.
2. Locate an existing server on the network, log into it, and run the ARP Ping commands from
the server.
Table 3-13 lists the ARP Ping commands.
Table 3-13 ARP Ping Commands
DescriptionARP Command
arp -s
ping
This command assigns the IP address to the iLO 2 MP MAC address. This ARP table entry
maps the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN interface to the static IP address designated for
that interface.
This command tests network connections. It verifies the iLO 2 MP LAN port is configured
with the appropriate IP address.
The following procedure explains how to use the ARP Ping utility using a PC that is connected
to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server.
To configure a static IP address using the ARP Ping utility, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the iLO 2 MP MAC address. To set the IP address using ARP, you must know the
MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN. You can find the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN
on a label on the server.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the
MAC address to the server core LAN.
2. Verify that an active LAN cable on the local subnet is connected to the iLO 2 MP LAN port
on the server.
3. Access a PC on the same physical subnet as the server.
4. Open a DOS window on the PC.
5. At the DOS prompt, enter arp -s to assign the IP address to the iLO MAC address.
Syntax
arp -s <IP address you want to assign to the iLO MAC address> <iLO 2 MAC address>
Example from Windows
arp -s 192.0.2.1 00-00-0c-07-ac-00
6. At the DOS prompt, enter ping followed by the IP address to verify that the iLO 2 MP LAN
port is configured with the appropriate IP address. The destination address is the IP address
that is mapped to the iLO MAC address. Perform this task from the PC that has the ARP
table entry.
Syntax
ping <IP address just assigned to the iLO MAC address>
Example from Windows
Console Setup 87
ping 192.0.2.1
7. Use the IP address to connect to the iLO 2 MP LAN.
8. Use Web or telnet access to connect to the iLO 2 MP from a host on the local subnet and
complete the rest of the LAN parameter (gateway, subnet).
Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using the RS-232 Serial Port
To configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the RS-232 serial port, follow these steps:
IMPORTANT: Do not configure duplicate IP addresses on different servers within the same
network. The duplicate server IP addresses conflict and the servers cannot connect to the network.
The LC command enables you to configure an IP address, host name, subnet mask, and gateway
address.
IMPORTANT: Ensure you havea console connection through the RS-232 serial port or a network
connection through the LAN to access the iLO 2 MP and use the LC command.
To assign a static IP address using the LC command, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the emulation software device is properly configured. The terminal emulation device
runs software that interfaces with the server. The software emulates console output as it
would appear on an ASCII terminal screen and displays it on a console device screen. To
ensure the emulation software is correctly configured, follow these steps:
a. Verify that the communication settings are configured as follows:
• 8/none (parity)
• 9600 baud
• None (receive)
• None (transmit)
b. Verify that the terminal type is configured appropriately. Supported terminal types are:
• hpterm
• vt100
• vt100+
• vt-utf8
IMPORTANT: Do not mix hpterm and vt100 terminal types at the same time.
There are many different emulation software applications. Consult the help section of the
emulation software application for instructions on how to configure the software options.
2. Determine the required connection components, and the ports used to connect the server
to the console device.
3. Connect the cables from the appropriate ports to the server.
4. Start the emulation software on the console device.
5. Log in to the iLO 2 MP. See “Logging In to the iLO 2 MP” (page 89).
6. At the MP Main Menu, enter CM and press Enter to select command mode.
7. At the command mode prompt, enter LS and press Enter. The screen displays the default
LAN configuration values. Write down the default values, or log the information to a file.
You may need the information for future troubleshooting.
88 Installing the System
8. Use the LC command to disable DHCP.
a. From the LC command menu, type D and press Enter.
b. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the DHCP status from Enabled to
Disabled.
c. Enter XD -R to reset the iLO 2 MP.
9. Use the LC command to enter information for the IP address, host, subnet mask, gateway
parameters, and so on.
10. Enter XD -R to reset the iLO 2 MP.
11. After the iLO 2 MP resets, log in to the iLO 2 MP again and enter CM at the MP:> prompt.
12. Enter LS to confirm that DHCP is disabled and display a list of updated LAN configuration
settings.
Logging In to the iLO 2 MP
To log in to the iLO 2 MP, follow these steps:
1. Access the iLO 2 MP using the LAN, RS-232 serial port, telnet, SSH, or Web method. The
iLO 2 MP login prompt displays.
2. Log in using the default the iLO 2 MP user name and password (Admin/Admin).
TIP: For security reasons, HP strongly recommends you modify the default settings during
the initial login session. See “Modifying User Accounts and Default Password” (page 89).

if another user is logged in through these ports. Use Ctrl-B to access the MP Main Menu and the
iLO 2 MP prompt (MP>).
Additional Setup
This section provides additional information to setup the iLO 2 MP.
Modifying User Accounts and Default Password
The iLO 2 MP comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account
and password. The two default user accounts on initial login are:
• All Rights (Administrator) level user:
login = Admin
password = Admin
• Console Rights (Operator) level user:
login = Oper
password = Oper
Console Setup 89
Login and password are case sensitive.
TIP: For security reasons, HP strongly recommends you modify the default settings during the
initial login session.
Make the following changes using any of the iLO 2 MP user interfaces.
To modify default account configuration settings, follow these steps:
1. Log in as the administrator. You must log in as the administrator in order to modify default
user configuration settings
2. To modify default passwords:
a. Access the MP Main Menu.
b. Enter CM at the MP> prompt.
c. Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify default passwords.
3. To setup user accounts:
a. Access the MP Main Menu.
b. Enter CM at the MP> prompt.
c. Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify user accounts.
Setting Up Security
For greater security and reliability, HP generally recommends that iLO 2 MP management traffic
be on a separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access
to that network. This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main
network, it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks. A separate network
enables administrators to physically control which workstations are connected to the network.
HP also strongly recommends you modify the default settings during the initial logon session
and determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed.
Create local accounts or use directory services to control user access. See “Modifying User
Accounts and Default Password” (page 89).
Security Access Settings
Determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. The
iLO 2 MP provides options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent
unauthorized access to the iLO 2 MP:
• Change the default user name and password. See “Modifying User Accounts and Default
Password” (page 89)).
CAUTION: When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because
anyone can access the iLO 2 MP until you change the default user name and password.
HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding.
• Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO 2
MP access. This is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized
businesses.
• Use directory services. Use the corporate directory to manage iLO 2 MP user access. This is
ideal for environments with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to use
directory services, HP recommends leaving at leastone local account enabled as an alternate
method of access.

Core I/O Card Configuration
This section provides information on core I/O cards that need to be configured during installation.
This section addresses the following topics:
Core I/O Card Configuration 95

• “HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA (SAS Controller)” (page 96)
• “MPTUTIL Utility” (page 96)
• “DRVCFG Utility” (page 98)
• “CFGGEN Utility” (page 106)

• “ORCA Utility” (page 116)
• “ACU Utility” (page 117)
Integrated RAID
Use Integrated RAID (IR) where either storage capacity, redundancy, or both of a RAID
configuration are required. Two components of IR are:
• Integrated Mirror (IM)
• Global Hot Spare
Integrated Mirror
The advantage of an IM is there is always a mirrored copy of the data. An IM provides data
protection for the system boot volume to safeguard critical information such as the operating
system on servers and high performance workstations. An IM supports two simultaneous
mirrored volumes, making an array, providing fault-tolerant protection for critical data. Typically,
one of these volumes is the boot volume. If a disk in an IM fails, the hot swap capability enables
the volume to be easily restored by replacing the failed disk. The firmware then automatically
re-mirrors to the replaced disk.
Global Hot Spare
Each SAS controller can have one global hot spare disk available to automatically replace a failed
disk in the one or two IM volumes configured on the controller. The hot spare makes the IM
array more fault tolerant. Up to two IM volumes are supported per SAS controller plus the hot
spare.
HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA (SAS Controller)
The following information is provided to assist you in configuring the 8 Internal Port SAS HBA
controller during installation.
To flash firmware, use the MPTUTIL command. To configure and maintain the IR functionality
of the SAS controller on the HP Integrity server, use the drvdfg and cfggen EFI commands.
If you are scripting multiple devices, use thecfggencommand.
MPTUTIL Utility
The mptutil utility enables you to update the adapter flash memory with the EFI driver and
HBA firmware. New versions of these images are released periodically.
IMPORTANT: Do not store the files in this package on a SAS device. If you store these files on
a SAS device and the update fails, these files will not be accessible.
To update firmware, follow these steps:
96 Installing the System
1. Insert the HP IPF Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD in the drive and boot to the EFI Shell.
NOTE: You can also download the firmware image file and update utility from the HP
Web site at: http://www.hp.com in the Driver Downloads section.
IMPORTANT: When you boot the EFI enabled systems, the CD containing the utility must
be in the drive to allow device mapping. The EFI utility and firmware image files are located
in the root directory or in a subdirectory on the CD.
2. The CD drive displays in the list of mapped devices as fs0. To change to this device, enter
fs0:
shell> fs0:
fs0: >
3. To determine the current version of the firmware, follow these steps.
a. At the EFI Shell, enter mptutil from the directory that contains mptutil.efi. The
following example indicates that the EFI Serial Attached SCSI card utility version is
1.01.12.00:
fs0: EFI HP TOOLS NETWORK> mptutil

1 - Refresh
b. Press Enter.
4. To update the firmware, use the mptutil command.
5. Reset the controller.
fs0: > reset
The mptutil commands and functions are listed in Table 3-15 and described in the following
sections.
Table 3-15 MPTUTIL Commands and Functions

Parameters in < > are optional. A space is required between command line options and their parameters.
The following sections describe the mptutil commands and functions.
Flashing Firmware on First Controller
To update the HBA RISC firmware on the first controller, follow these steps:
1. At the fs0: > prompt, enter mptutil -f <firmware_file> -c 0.
2. At the fs0: > prompt, enter reset.
The filename is optional and you are prompted for a filename if omitted.
Another way for the firmware to be flashed is done without your knowledge. When mptutil
is executed, and a SAS HBA is in any state other than ready or operational, mptutil immediately
performs a firmware download boot. The firmware provided by you to do thefirmware download
boot is immediately flashed after the firmware download boot has completed. The
mptutilcommand does this because the firmware only moves to the operational state if it is
Core I/O Card Configuration 97
running from flash and not memory. Operational state is needed to do everything else provided
in the utility.
Flashing BIOS and EFI Driver on the First Controller
To update the EFI driver on the first controller, follow these steps:
1. At the fs0: > prompt, enter mptutil -o -g <Bios_File> <EFI_driver_file>
-c 0.
2. At the fs0: > prompt, enter reset.
The filename is optional and you are prompted for a filename if omitted.
Common Questions About Flashing Firmware
Question After I update firmware on my SAS HBA, why doesn't the version string change
in the menu?
Answer The firmware you just flashed on the HBA does not run until a diagnostic reset
occurs. If you exit the utility and reenter it, the version string is updated.
Question
Answer
Question How do I program multiple cards in a system from the command line?
Answer
Question Can I program a new flash and option ROM in the same command line argument?
Answer
This image does not contain a valid nvdata when I try to flash the firmware, why?
You are expected to concatenate a proper nvdata image on to the firmware.
MPTUTIL keeps you from flashing an image without one. To concatenate nvdata
and firmware you need to run the mptutil -o -d
64it__l.fw,sas106x.dat,output.fw command. .
• 64it__l.fw is the firmware image without a nvdata image
• sas106x.dat is the nvdata image. This file dependson the type/rev of HBA
on which the firmware is used
• output.fw is the name of the file created with the firmware and nvdata
concatenated. This concatenated image can be used for all boards of this type
or revision.
MPTUTIL (EFI) does not support this.
Yes. Run the mptutil -f <firmware_name> -b <option_rom_name>
command.
Viewing the VPD Information for EFI Driver and RISC Firmware
To view the VPD information for the EFI driver and RISC firmware, enter mptutil -o -vpd
-c 0 at the fsO: > prompt.
EFI Commands
To configure an Integrated Mirror (IM) Array on the SAS Controller, use the following EFI
commands:
• DRVCFG (GUI interface)
• CFGGEN (command line interface)
NOTE: If you are not using the IM functionality, do not follow these procedures.
DRVCFG Utility
To configure an IM on the SAS controller, follow these steps:
Starting the DRVCFG Utility
To start thedrvdfgconfiguration utility, follow these steps:
1. Select the EFI Shell from the console menu.
98 Installing the System
2. Type drvcfg -s and press Enter.
Using the DRVCFG Utility
The configuration utility uses several input keys (F1, F2, HOME, END, and so on) that may not
be supported by all terminal emulation programs. Each of these keys has an alternate key that
performs the same function. Review the terminal emulation program documentation to verify
which input keys are supported. If problems occur using any of the function keys or
HOME/END/PGUP/PGDN, it is recommended that the alternate keys be used.
There are general key inputs throughout the configuration utility that apply on all screens:
F1 Help Context sensitive help for the cursor-resident field.
Arrow Keys Select Item - Up, down, left, right movement to position the cursor.
Home/End Select Item - Up, down, left, right movement to position the cursor.
+/- Change Item - Items with values in [ ] brackets are modifiable. Numeric keypad
+ and numeric keypad - (minus) update a modifiable field to its next relative
value.
Esc Abort/Exit - Escape aborts the current context operation and/or exits the current
screen. User confirmation is solicited as required if changes have been made
by user. If you are using a serial console, pressing Esc causes a delay of several
seconds before it takes effect. This is normal system behavior and is not an error.
Enter Execute <item> - Executable items are indicated by highlighted text and a
different background color. Press Enter to execute the field's associated function.
