Introduction

Server Overview

The HP Integrity rx4640 server is a 4U high Electronics Industry Association (EIA) enclosure, which mounts in any standard 19” EIA rack. All external cabling enters and exits from the rear of the enclosure. With the server installed in the rack, service access is enhanced by the use of chassis slides. It has bays to accommodate 1 + 1 redundant, hot-swappable power supplies, accessible from the rear of the enclosure. There are two low-profile hot swappable hard disk drives accessible from the front, as well as a slim-line optical drive for a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R or DVD+RW. There are N + 1 redundant, hot-swappable server fans, all clearly identified and easily accessible. Server status indication, a power switch, server locator switch and LED are located in the front within the control panel access door on the bezel. There is also a server locator switch and LED located on the front and back of the server for easy identification in the rack. See the HP Integrity rx4640 Site Preparation Guide for more detailed server specifications and requirements. Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, and Figure 1-3 show the top, front, and rear views of the server.
