Huawei FusionServer CH121 V5 – Product Documentation List & Specifications
Product Overview
The Huawei FusionServer CH121 V5 is a half-width, 2-socket blade compute node purpose-built for the Huawei E9000 Blade Server chassis. It is optimized for demanding enterprise workloads including virtualization, cloud computing, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) .
At its core, the CH121 V5 is powered by 1 or 2 Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, supporting the full processor family with Thermal Design Power (TDP) ratings up to 205W. This enables substantial compute density with up to 28 cores per processor . The node is equipped with 24 DDR4 DIMM slots operating at speeds up to 2666 MT/s, delivering a maximum memory capacity of 3 TB to handle large-scale, memory-intensive applications .
Storage flexibility is a key feature, supporting either 2 x 2.5-inch SSDs, SAS/SATA hard drives, or NVMe SSDs, alongside an option for up to 4 individually hot-swappable M.2 SSDs (SATA interface) . The CH121 V5 integrates intelligent power management through Dynamic Energy Management Technology (DEMT), optimizing energy consumption by employing component hibernation and dynamic speed tuning, which significantly reduces low-load operating power .
Management is streamlined by the onboard Huawei iBMC (Intelligent Baseboard Management Controller) chip, which provides comprehensive fault diagnosis, automated operations, and security hardening. It supports standard management interfaces including Redfish, SNMP, and IPMI 2.0, and offers an HTML5/VNC KVM-based remote management console for simplified deployment and maintenance . Carrier-class design and high-quality components ensure robust reliability for continuous operation in enterprise data centers .
