FusionServer 5288 V5 – Product Documentation

Product Overview

The FusionServer 5288 V5 is a 4U, dual-socket or single-socket rack server engineered for enterprise-grade workloads requiring massive storage capacity and balanced computing performance. Powered by 1st and 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, the system supports up to two CPUs with a thermal design power (TDP) of up to 205W per processor . The server accommodates up to 24 DDR4 memory DIMMs running at 2933 MT/s, with optional support for up to 12 Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory modules (100 series) at 2666 MT/s .

The 5288 V5 distinguishes itself through exceptional storage flexibility, offering front, internal, and rear drive configurations that can support up to 44 3.5-inch drives plus additional 2.5-inch drives or NVMe SSDs . This makes the platform particularly well-suited for cold data storage, video surveillance, cloud storage, big data analytics, and media asset management .

For network connectivity, the server includes onboard LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports—typically 2 x 10GE and 2 x GE interfaces—with an additional flexible NIC slot for customized networking options such as 4 x GE, 2 x 10GE, or InfiniBand . The system is managed through an integrated BMC (iBMC) chip with a dedicated management port, supporting Redfish, SNMP, and IPMI 2.0 standards for remote administration, including HTML5/VNC-based KVM .

The chassis measures 175 mm (H) x 447 mm (W) x 748 mm (D), operates within a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F) compliant with ASHRAE Class A3 standards, and features redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans for high availability in data center environments .
