High-density 2U server platform

The XFusion 2288HV5 is a 2U barebone chassis built around eight 3.5-inch drive bays and integrated dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet alongside dual Gigabit ports. It targets organisations that need dense local storage and high-speed networking in a single rack unit.

Storage-focused deployments

This platform suits teams building storage-heavy nodes, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters where drive count and 10GbE connectivity are the primary requirements. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, extensive PCIe expansion or smaller 2.5-inch drive layouts should evaluate other form factors.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays

The eight 3.5-inch bays set the storage ceiling for this chassis and determine whether the platform matches your capacity plan. Verify that your workload fits within this bay count before committing to the 2288HV5.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 2288HV5 is operating correctly after installation?

Check that the dual 10-Gigabit and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports show link lights and that all eight 3.5-inch drive bays report drives in the system BIOS or management interface.

What ships with the 2288HV5 barebone and what must I source separately?

The unit includes the chassis with eight 3.5-inch drive bays and integrated dual 10-Gigabit plus dual Gigabit Ethernet; you must add Xeon Scalable processors, memory modules, storage drives and power supplies.

Which 2288HV5 configuration suits a storage-heavy workload?

The eight 3.5-inch bay layout is built for high-capacity 3.5-inch drives, making it the choice when maximum raw storage per 2U rack space is the priority.
