Server models and chassis view

H3C UniServer R6700 G6 servers are 2U four-processor servers independently developed by H3C based on the new-generation Eagle Stream platform of Intel. The servers can be widely used in general computing scenarios, including cloud computing, virtualization, distributed storage, and enterprise resource allocation. They are suitable for typical applications in industries such as Internet, service providers, enterprises, and government. The servers provide balanced computing performance, storage capacity, power efficiency, scalability, and reliability, and are easy to deploy and manage.

·     Off (default)—HDM login requires the username and password of a valid HDM user account.

·     On—HDM login requires the default username and password.

For security purposes, turn off the switch after you complete tasks with the default username and password as a best practice.

·     Off (default)—Normal server startup.

·     On—Restores the default BIOS settings.

To restore the default BIOS settings, turn on and then turn off the switch. The server starts up with the default BIOS settings at the next startup.

CAUTION CAUTION:

The server cannot start up when the switch is turned on. To avoid service data loss, stop running services and power off the server before turning on the switch.

6

·     Off (default)—Normal server startup.

·     On—Clears all passwords from the BIOS at server startup.

If this switch is on, the server will clear all the passwords at each startup. Make sure you turn off the switch before the next server startup if you do not need to clear all the passwords.

DIMM slots

The system board and processor mezzanine board each provide eight DIMM channels per processor, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13, respectively. Each channel contains two DIMM slots.

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. If the server has four processors, the total number of DIMM slots is 64. 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 is similar and this section uses the label of a DDR5 DIMM as an example.

Drive LEDs

The server supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives (including E1.S drives), of which SAS and SATA drives support hot swapping and NVMe drives support hot insertion and managed hot removal. You can use the LEDs on a drive to identify its status after it is connected to a storage controller.

For more information about OSs that support hot insertion and managed hot removal of NVMe drives, contact Technical Support.

Fan modules

The server supports four hot swappable fan modules. The server supports N+1 fan module redundancy. Figure 40 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.

B/D/F information

You can obtain B/D/F information by using one of the following methods:

·     BIOS log—Search the dumpiio keyword in the BIOS log.

·     UEFI shell—Execute the pci command. For information about how to execute the command, execute the help pci command.

·     Operating system—The obtaining method varies by OS.

¡     For Linux, execute the lspci command.

If Linux does not support the lspci command by default, use the software package manager supported by the operating system to obtain and install the pci-utils package.

¡     For Windows, install the pciutils package, and then execute the lspci command.

¡     For VMware, execute the lspci command.

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 11 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 43, the bus address of the OCP network adapter in slot 11 is 0000:31:00.0.

Figure 43 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 44 Executing the echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/slot number/power command

 

4.     Identify whether the OCP network adapter has been disconnected:

¡     Observe the OCP network adapter LED. If the LED is off, the OCP network adapter has been disconnected.

¡     Execute the lspci vvv s 0000:31:00.0 command. If no output is displayed, the OCP network adapter has been disconnected.

Figure 45 Identifying OCP network adapter status

 

5.     Replace the OCP network adapter.

6.     Identify whether the OCP network adapter has been connected:

¡     Observe the OCP network adapter LED. If the LED is on, the OCP network adapter has been connected.

¡     Execute the lspci vvv s 0000:31:00.0 command. If an output is displayed, the OCP network adapter has been connected.

Figure 46 Identifying OCP network adapter status

 

7.     Identify whether any exception exists. If any exception occurred, contact H3C Support.


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.
