FusionServer X6000 XH321 V6 Compatibility

The FusionServer X6000 XH321 V6 is a high-density multi-node server enclosure that houses multiple server blades/nodes in a shared chassis. It is a scale-out enclosure platform, designed for large-scale virtualization, cloud hosting, HPC farms and dense data-centre deployment. 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: 201 validated line items across 10 component categories and 37 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 X6000 XH321 V6

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

• Choose the processor to the workload. Validated options include models across the range, including the Gold 5315Y, Platinum 8352S and Silver 4316, with up to 40 cores per socket.
• Memory: DDR4 RDIMMs from 16GB to 128GB at up to 3200 MT/s. Give us your capacity target and we will confirm the supported DIMM population and channel rules.
• RAID levels follow the controller. The validated controllers support RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, JBOD. Cacheless entry cards suit boot and mirroring; cached cards with a supercapacitor enable parity RAID for data arrays; JBOD/IT cards provide passthrough to software RAID.
• Storage mix. Validated options include SAS/SATA drives up to 8 TB and PCIe NVMe SSDs up to 8 TB. Backplane and tray variants are listed separately under Drive Backplanes.
• Networking from 10GbE 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: 1200–3000W 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.

• Cloud / hosting farm: identical nodes with high core density, dual high-speed fabric, shared redundant power.
• Virtualization cluster: many nodes each with large memory, central management, rack-level networking.
• HPC / liquid-cooled rack: liquid-cooled high-TDP nodes, InfiniBand fabric, CDU and coolant loop.
• Converged resource pool: mixed compute and storage nodes in one managed enclosure.

The X6000 XH321 V6 in the FusionServer range

The numbered FusionServer generations make it straightforward to choose between current and supported hardware. The X6000 XH321 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.

X6000 XH321 V6 — compatibility FAQ

Which processors does the X6000 XH321 V6 support?

The matrix lists models across the range, including the Gold 5315Y, Platinum 8352S and 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 128GB at up to 3200 MT/s. Tell us your capacity target and we will confirm the supported DIMM population.

Which RAID levels are supported?

Validated controllers support RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, JBOD. Choose a cached card with a supercapacitor for parity RAID (5/6/50/60), an entry card for 0/1/10, or an IT/JBOD card for software RAID passthrough.

What drives are validated?

The matrix lists SAS/SATA drives up to 8 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 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 1200W to 3000W 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 37 certified builds, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu, VMware ESXi, Windows Server, openEuler, 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.
