H3C UniServer R5300 G6 12LFF PCIe-switch platform · Dual 6530
Proposed R5300 G6 12LFF PCIe-switch platform configuration for quotation, including 2 Intel Xeon Gold 6530 processors in the quoted scope. The exact platform part number and inclusion of power supplies, fans, heatsinks, backplanes, cables, and rails remain to be confirmed. Memory, drives, GPUs, and NICs are priced as separate configuration requests; confirm each included item in the formal BOM to avoid double billing. This record does not establish system certification, stock availability, or a complete configuration ready to order. The R5300 G6 chassis image is an exterior reference; internal direct-connect/PCIe-switch structure and 12LFF bays are subject to the configuration list.
- 12LFF configuration intent; CPU quotation scope: 2 × Intel Xeon Gold 6530
- PCIe-switch topology; validate GPUs and slots against the approved BOM
- 32 DDR5 slots; 6530 up to 4800MT/s at 1DPC; validate capacity and operating speed in the BOM
- 4U air-cooled platform reference; exact part numbers, backplane and inclusions require confirmation

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 | Configuration intent includes the quotation scope of 2 Intel Xeon Gold 6530 processors. This is not evidence of installed components or certified system compatibility; confirm all other inclusions in the approved BOM. |
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. |
| Listed CPU reference | Intel Xeon Gold 6530: 32 cores/64 threads, 270W TDP; this configuration intent specifies 2 processors. |
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 listed 6530 supports up to 4TB per CPU, giving an 8TB two-CPU ceiling before DIMM and system BOM qualification. This is not installed memory or an 8TB configuration guarantee. |
| Operating memory speed | The listed 6530 supports up to 4800MT/s at 1DPC. Guide 6W106 lists up to 4400MT/s at 2DPC. The lowest CPU, DIMM and platform limit applies, not the DIMM label speed. |
| 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 | PCIe-switch 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 switch module: 8 double-width GPU slots plus 4 single-width standard PCIe 5.0 x16 slots. OCP and dedicated RAID interfaces are separate; confirm sharing and uplinks 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. |
