Huawei FusionServer 5288 V3 – Product Documentation

Product Overview

The Huawei FusionServer 5288 V3 is a next-generation 4U, 2-socket rack server purpose-built for storage-intensive workloads. It delivers an optimal balance of high computing performance and massive local storage scalability, making it an ideal platform for cold data storage, video surveillance, cloud storage, and big data analytics.

Leveraging the Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3/v4 processor family with up to 16 DDR4 DIMM slots (supporting up to 1TB of memory), the 5288 V3 offers robust computational power for data-heavy environments. Its defining feature is the exceptional storage capacity: the server supports up to 40 x 3.5-inch hard drives in a single 4U chassis. This is achieved through a flexible front + rear drive bay configuration, combined with optional internal drives, enabling massive data retention without compromising performance.

To ensure high availability and simplified management, the 5288 V3 incorporates a modular hot-swappable design for fans, power supplies, and drives. It is equipped with the Huawei Hi1710 management chip, providing independent out-of-band management with comprehensive remote control, monitoring, and fault prediction capabilities. This server is specifically designed for enterprises requiring dense storage capacity with reliable, long-term operational stability.
