FusionServer 1288H V6 Compatibility

The FusionServer Pro 1288H V6 is 1U dual-socket rack server. It is the compact 1U general-purpose platform of this xFusion generation, designed for space-constrained and high-density racks. The platform runs on 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable with DDR4 memory and PCIe 4.0 expansion.

Below is the verified compatibility matrix for this model: 732 validated line items across 10 component categories and 134 certified operating-system builds, taken from xFusion’s official compatibility data and presented in English. Every part number listed is published by xFusion for this chassis; nothing is guessed or cross-filled from other models.

Compatibility matrix

Browse validated parts by category using the tabs below. Each tab shows its item count; search inside a tab by part number or keyword, and expand the full list. Parts marked Current are actively orderable; life-cycle parts are still supported and often available as spares. The OS table lists the exact certified kernel or build.

Selecting components for the 1288H V6

These points from the matrix matter when configuring or expanding a unit:

• Choose the processor to the workload. Validated options include from the Gold 5315Y to high-end options such as the Silver 4316, with up to 40 cores per socket.
• Memory: DDR4 RDIMMs from 16GB to 512GB at up to 3200 MT/s. Give us your capacity target and we will confirm the supported DIMM population and channel rules.
• Storage mix. Validated options include SAS/SATA drives up to 18 TB and PCIe NVMe SSDs up to 8 TB. Backplane and tray variants are listed separately under Drive Backplanes.
• Networking from 100GbE to 25GbE. OCP 3.0 and PCIe adapters are validated for the listed speeds; some SKUs include optical modules and others do not, so check the part description.
• Power: 900–2000W supplies. Platinum and titanium-rated AC units are listed, with redundant pairs for high availability; confirm the rating your GPU and drive population require.

Reference workload profiles

These profiles show how validated components combine; each is configured and quoted to order.

• Virtualization / private cloud: balanced processors, a large RDIMM footprint, hardware RAID with cache and redundant power.
• Database / in-memory: high-frequency processors, maximum memory, PCIe NVMe for log and hot data.
• All-flash node: parity-capable RAID or HBA, a full set of NVMe SSDs, high-wattage titanium PSU.
• Storage / backup node: cached RAID or JBOD passthrough, a full set of high-capacity drives, high-wattage PSU.
• General application / infra: mid-bin processors, moderate memory and storage, cost-effective networking.

The 1288H V6 in the FusionServer range

The numbered FusionServer generations make it straightforward to choose between current and supported hardware. The 1288H V6 is a V6 platform: 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable, DDR4, PCIe 4.0.

Earlier supported generations remain useful:

• V5: 1st/2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable, DDR4, PCIe 3.0 — supported, cost-effective for standardised or budget projects.

We supply new systems with manufacturer warranty and can source validated parts for earlier generations when a budget, software-licensing or support window calls for them. Ask us which generation fits.

1288H V6 — compatibility FAQ

Which processors does the 1288H V6 support?

The matrix lists from the Gold 5315Y to high-end options such as the Silver 4316, with up to 40 cores per socket. Confirm the thermal and power envelope for your chassis and PSU before ordering.

What memory can I install?

Validated DDR4 RDIMMs range from 16GB to 512GB at up to 3200 MT/s. Tell us your capacity target and we will confirm the supported DIMM population.

What drives are validated?

The matrix lists SAS/SATA drives up to 18 TB and NVMe SSDs up to 8 TB. See the Hard Drives and NVMe tabs for the full list, form factors and current status.

What network speeds are supported?

Validated OCP and PCIe adapters cover 100GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE. Note whether a SKU includes optical modules; we can supply matched optics if required.

What power supplies are available?

The list runs from 900W to 2000W in platinum and titanium ratings. Redundant pairs can be configured for high availability; size the PSU to your CPU, GPU and drive load.

Which operating systems are certified?

The OS matrix lists 134 certified builds, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu, VMware ESXi, Windows Server, each with its exact kernel or build string. Additional builds can often be confirmed on request.

What do the lifecycle statuses mean?

Current/GA parts are in production; PILOT and DEVELOP parts are under limited rollout or qualification; EOM parts are out of marketing but supported as spares. Prefer Current parts for new builds.

Can you supply the server or just parts?

Both. We configure complete systems and supply every validated component listed here with warranty. Send a part list or BOM for a fast quotation.
