DIMM slots

The system board provides eight DIMM channels per processor, and 16 channels in total, as shown in Figure 13. Each channel contains two DIMM slots.

Figure 13 System board DIMM slot layout

 

 


Appendix B  Component specifications

For components compatible with the server and detailed component information, use the component compatibility lookup tool at http://www.h3c.com/en/home/qr/default.htm?id=66.

About component model names

The model name of a hardware option in this document might differ slightly from its model name label.

A model name label might add a prefix or suffix to the hardware-coded model name for purposes such as identifying the matching server brand or applicable region. For example, the DDR5-4800-32G-1Rx4 memory model represents memory module labels including UN-DDR5-4800-32G-1Rx4-R, UN-DDR5-4800-32G-1Rx4-F, and UN-DDR5-4800-32G-1Rx4-S, which have different prefixes and suffixes.

DIMMs

The server provides eight DIMM channels per processor and each channel has two DIMM slots. If the server has one processor, the total number of DIMM slots is 16. If the server has two processors, the total number of DIMM slots is 32. For the physical layout of DIMM slots, see "DIMM slots."

DRAM DIMM rank classification label

A DIMM rank is a set of memory chips that the system accesses while writing or reading from the memory. On a multi-rank DIMM, only one rank is accessible at a time.

To determine the rank classification of a DIMM, use the label attached to the DIMM, as shown in Figure 14. The meaning of the DDR DIMM rank classification labels are similar and this section uses the label of a DDR5 DIMM as an example.

Riser cards

To expand the server with PCIe modules, install riser cards on the PCIe riser connectors.

Riser card guidelines

Each PCIe slot in a riser card can supply a maximum of 75 W of power to the PCIe module. You must connect a separate power cord to the PCIe module if it requires more than 75 W of power.

If a processor is faulty or absent, the PCIe slots connected to it are unavailable.

The slot number of a PCIe slot varies by the PCIe riser connector that holds the riser card. For example, slot 1/4 represents PCIe slot 1 if the riser card is installed on connector 1 and represents PCIe slot 4 if the riser card is installed on connector 2. For information about PCIe riser connector locations, see "Rear panel view."

Fan modules

The server supports four hot swappable fan modules. The server supports N+1 fan module redundancy. Figure 48 shows the layout of the fan modules in the chassis.

The server uses intelligent fan energy-saving and noise-reduction technology, which integrates multiple AI algorithms. It can monitor the temperature, power, and other status information of the device in real-time to obtain the optimal fan adjustment policy. Then, it dynamically adjusts the fan duty cycle configuration to meet the device's energy-saving and noise-reduction requirements.

PCIe slot

The server supports installing installing riser cards and rear GPU modules. The PCIe slot numbers vary by configuration.

Figure 49 PCIe slot numbering when riser cards are installed at the server rear

 

Figure 50 PCIe slot numbering when rear GPU modules are installed

 

PCIe modules

Typically, the PCIe modules are available in the following standard form factors:

·     LP—Low profile.

·     FHHL—Full height and half length.

·     FHFL—Full height and full length.

·     HHHL—Half height and half length.

·     HHFL—Half height and full length.

The following PCIe modules require PCIe I/O resources: Storage controllers, FC HBAs, and GPU modules. Make sure the number of such PCIe modules installed does not exceed 11.

Storage controllers

The server supports the following types of storage controllers:

·     Embedded VROC controllerEmbedded in the server and does not require installation.

·     Standard storage controllerComes in a standard PCIe form factor and typically requires a riser card for installation.

For some storage controllers, you can order a power fail safeguard module to prevent data loss from power outages. This module provides a flash card and a supercapacitor. When a system power failure occurs, the supercapacitor provides power for a minimum of 20 seconds. During this interval, the storage controller can transfer data from DDR memory to the flash card, where the data remains indefinitely or until the controller retrieves the data. If the storage controller contains a built-in flash card, you can order only a supercapacitor.

Appendix C  Managed removal of OCP network adapters

Before you begin

Before you perform a managed removal of an OCP network adapter, perform the following tasks:

·     Use the OS compatibility query tool at http://www.h3c.com/en/home/qr/default.htm?id=66 to obtain operating systems that support managed removal of OCP network adapters.

·     Make sure the BIOS version is 6.00.15 or higher, the HDM2 version is 1.13 or higher, and the CPLD version is V001 or higher.

Performing a hot removal

This section uses an OCP network adapter in slot 16 as an example.

To perform a hot removal:

1.     Access the operating system.

2.     Execute the dmidecode -t 9 command to search for the bus address of the OCP network adapter. As shown in Figure 56, the bus address of the OCP network adapter in slot 16 is 0000:31:00.0.

Figure 56 Searching for the bus address of an OCP network adapter by slot number

 

3.     Execute the echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/slot number/power command, where slot number represents the number of the slot where the OCP network adapter resides.

Figure 57 Executing the echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/slot number/power command

Appendix D  Environment requirements

About environment requirements

The operating temperature requirements for the server vary depending on the server model and hardware configuration. When the general and component-based requirements conflict, use the component-based requirement.

Be aware that the actual maximum operating temperature of the server might be lower than what is stated because of poor site cooling performance. In a real data center, the server cooling performance might decrease because of adverse external factors, including poor cabinet cooling performance, high power density inside the cabinet, or insufficient spacing between devices.
