H3C UniServer R5300 G6 12LFF direct-connect barebone platform
H3C UniServer R5300 G6 12LFF direct-connect barebone platform. Price excludes CPUs, memory, drives, GPUs, NICs, RAID controllers, and power supplies; all of these components must be selected and priced separately. CPU unit price × 2; power supply module unit price × 4. The chassis image is an R5300 G6 exterior reference only; internal topology and 12LFF layout are subject to the actual BOM. The exact supply scope and part numbers for fans, heatsinks, backplanes, carriers, cables, and rails must be verified in the order. This price does not apply to the 24LFF model.
- 12LFF bare platform; CPU, memory, drives, GPUs, NICs, RAID card and power supplies are separate selections
- Direct-connect topology; validate GPUs and slots against the approved BOM
- 32 DDR5 slots; capacity and speed depend on the selected CPU, DIMMs and population
- 4U air-cooled platform reference; exact part numbers, backplane and inclusions require confirmation
Published model specifications describe available options, not the delivered configuration.

Specifications & selection notes
Scope and configuration boundaries
| Specification scope | R5300 G6 platform reference for this 12LFF configuration intent. Exact part numbers, backplane, included components and compatibility require an approved BOM. |
|---|---|
| Scope of this listing | Bare-platform listing excludes CPU, memory, drives, GPUs, NICs, RAID card and power supplies. Other inclusions require confirmation. |
Processors
| Platform processor support | Up to 2 4th/5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors; validate the selected CPU and cooling configuration against the compatibility list. |
|---|---|
| Platform core-count limit | Up to 64 cores per processor; this is not the installed core count. |
| Processor power qualification | The current product page lists up to 385W, while User Guide 6W106 lists 350W. Resolve this revision difference using the approved CPU, heatsink and server configuration. |
Memory
| Memory slots | 32 DDR5 DIMM slots: 8 channels per CPU, 2 slots per channel; the corresponding CPU must be installed. |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity conditions | The family maximum is 12TB with two CPUs. Guide 6W106 lists up to 6TB per 4th Gen CPU and 4TB per 5th Gen CPU. A 12TB configuration requires qualification of the exact CPU, DIMMs and server. |
| Operating memory speed | The platform maximum of 5600MT/s requires a suitable CPU and 1DPC. Guide 6W106 lists 4800 for 4th Gen 1DPC, 5600 for 5th Gen 1DPC, and 4400MT/s for 2DPC. Individual CPU limits may be lower. |
| CXL and HBM options | The official family page lists CXL 1.1 and HBM as restricted options. Confirm availability, CPU/component compatibility and capacity separately; do not count them as installed DDR5 or GPU VRAM. |
Storage and RAID
| Drive-cage configuration | This listing is a 12LFF configuration intent, not a 24-bay model. Validate the backplane, carriers and part numbers in the BOM. |
|---|---|
| NVMe bays | Up to 8 NVMe bays, subject to the UniBay backplane, cabling, controller and configuration; this does not mean 8 drives are installed. |
| Onboard M.2 | The platform supports 2 onboard M.2 devices; confirm actual drives, boot configuration and compatibility in the BOM. |
| RAID capabilities | RAID levels and Tri-Mode depend on the selected controller, licence and drives. The family lists 0/1/10/5/6/50/60; not every controller supports every level. |
GPU and PCIe expansion
| GPU topology | Direct-connect topology configuration intent; validate the GPU node board, uplinks and exact part numbers in the approved BOM. |
|---|---|
| GPU qualification boundary | An applicable 8-slot module supports a configuration of 8 full-height, full-length, double-width GPUs. Exact models, count, power, slot use and qualification require an approved BOM; 8 installed GPUs are not implied. |
| PCIe slot reference | 8-slot direct node board: 10 standard PCIe 5.0 x16 slots. OCP and dedicated RAID interfaces are separate; confirm sharing and usable slots in the BOM. |
| NVLink interconnect | Requires compatible GPUs and an optional NVLink Bridge. The guide describes bridging two adjacent GPUs; this is not an 8-GPU NVLink fabric or support for every GPU model. |
Networking
| Network expansion | The official family specification lists 1/10/25/50/100/200/400GE PCIe NICs. Confirm NIC and port speeds against the supported-parts list; 800G OSFP is not promised. |
|---|---|
| OCP slot | 1 OCP 3.0 interface. Multi-host is conditional; validate the specific NIC, cables and server configuration. |
| Management port | 1 dedicated 1GbE management port. |
Power and cooling
| Power-supply options | 4-module power architecture. Family options include 2000/2400/2700W Platinum and 3200W Titanium modules; confirm availability, input voltage and part numbers. |
|---|---|
| Power redundancy | The family specification lists N+N hot-swap power redundancy. Usable redundant power depends on installed modules and load; do not substitute a universal 1+1 claim or fan N+1 redundancy. |
| Standard cooling | 8 hot-swap 8056 fans with N+1 redundancy (4 dual-fan modules); this is not evidence of a liquid-cooled configuration. |
Chassis and environment
| Form factor | 4U rack-mount. |
|---|---|
| Chassis dimensions | 174.8×447×828mm (H×W×D, without the security bezel); depth with the bezel is 856mm. |
| Operating temperature | Family standard operating range: 5–35°C, subject to CPU, GPU, drive and configuration restrictions. |
