Overview
The information in this document might differ from your product if it contains custom configuration
options or features.
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
DDR4-2666-8G-1Rx8-R memory model represents memory module labels including
UN-DDR4-2666-8G-1Rx8-R, UN-DDR4-2666-8G-1Rx8-R-F, and UN-DDR4-2666-8G-1Rx8-R-S.
The figures in this document are for illustration only.

Processor kit
The processor kit for an H3C UniServer R6700 G3 server includes the following components:
•
Processor
•
Retaining bracket
•
Heatsink
Processor installation also requires a T30 Torx screwdriver. You need to prepare the screwdriver
yourself.
Preparing for installation
WARNING
!
To
reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the server and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
•
To avoid processor and system board damage, only H3C-authorized personnel and
professional server engineers can install a processor.
•
To prevent ESD damage to electronic components, wear an ESD wrist strap before beginning
the installation procedure. Make sure the ESD wrist strap is reliably grounded.
To prepare the server for processor installation:
1. Back up all server data.
2. Power down the server.
3. Disconnect the power cords.
4. Remove the server from the rack.
5. Remove the access panel. Pressing the two unlock buttons on the access panel, slide the
panel towards the rear of the server, and then lift the panel to remove it.

Installing the processor
CAUTION:
•
To prevent damage to the pins on the processor socket, always install a cover over an empty
processor socket.
•
Make sure all processors on a server are the same model.
•
To avoid damage to a processor, always hold
the processor by the edges. Never touch the gold
contacts on the processor bottom.
IMPORTANT:
The server supports one, two, or four processors.
To install the processor:
1. Install the processor onto the retaining bracket.
a. As shown by callout 1 in Figure 1,line up the small triangle on the processor with the
alignment triangle molded into the retaining bracket, and align the guide pin on the bracket
with the notch on the processor.
b. As shown by callout 2 in Figure 1,lower the processor gently and make sure the guide pins
on the opposite side of the bracket fit snugly into notches on the processor.
Figure 1 Installing the processor onto the retaining bracket
2. Install the retaining bracket onto the heatsink.
CAUTION:
W
hen you remove the protective cover from the heatsink, be careful not to touch the thermal
grease on the heatsink.
a. Remove the protective cover. As shown in Figure 2, lift the cover straight up and away from
the heatsink.

3
Figure 2 Removing the protective cover
b. Install the retaining bracket onto the heatsink. The heatsink has a corner cut off. As shown
in Figure 3, align the alignment triangle on the retaining bracket with this corner of the
heatsink. Lower the bracket vertically down onto the heatsink until the four corners of the
bracket click into the four corners of the heatsink.
Figure 3 Installing the processor onto the heatsink
3. Remove the processor socket cover.

CAUTION:
•
Be careful not to touch the pins on the processor socket when you wear ESD gloves to
remove the processor socket cover.
•
The pins on the processor socket are very fragile. Never touch the pins. Any damage to
them might require system board replacement.
•
Keep the pins on the processor socket clean. Make sure the socket is free from dust and
any other debris.
Hold the cover by the notches on the two sides and lift it straight up and away from the socket.
Keep the cover secure for future use.
Figure 4 Removing the processor socket cover
4. Install the heatsink onto the server.
a. Align the alignment triangle on the retaining bracket with the cut-off corner of the processor
socket and the pin holes in the heatsink with the guide pins on the processor socket. Lower
down the heatsink onto the processor socket. See callout 1 in Figure 5.
b. Fasten the captive screws on the heatsink, strictly following the sequence from callouts 2 to
5 as shown in Figure 5. The screws might fall off if you do not follow this sequence.
CAUTION:
To avoid
poor contact between the processor and the system board or damage to the pins
in the processor socket, tighten the screws to a torque value of 1.4 Nm (12 in-lbs).

Installing DIMMs
After you install a new processor, install DIMMs for it. For more information about DIMM installation
guidelines, see the user guide for the server.
To install a DIMM:
1. Open the retaining clips of the DIMM slot.
2. Align the notch on the DIMM bottom edge with the key on the DIMM slot.
3. Insert the DIMM into the slot and make sure the retaining slips lock the DIMM in place.
The DIMM slot has a structure that prevents misalignment. If you cannot insert the DIMM into
the slot easily, the installation might be wrong. Reorient the DIMM and then insert it into the
slot again.
Starting the server
1. Install the access panel.
2. Install the server into the rack.
3. Connect power cords for the server.
4. Press the Power On/Standby button.
