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 205).
5. Replace the memory carrier assembly cover and latch the top cover release lever closed. See
“Replacing the Memory Carrier Assembly Cover” (page 183).
6. If rack installed, slide the server completely into the rack. See “Inserting the Server into the

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)
