FusionServer X6800 XH628 V3 Spares & Compatibility

The FusionServer X6800 XH628 V3 is a high-density multi-node server enclosure that houses multiple server blades/nodes in a shared chassis. It is a previous-generation enclosure platform (a scale-out enclosure platform), originally designed for large-scale virtualization, cloud hosting, HPC farms and dense data-centre deployment. The platform runs on Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 (Haswell/Broadwell) with DDR4 memory and PCIe 3.0 expansion.

Below is the verified compatibility matrix for this model: 281 validated line items across 8 component categories and 108 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 X6800 XH628 V3

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 E5-2603 v3, E5-2650L v4 and E5-2699A v4, with up to 22 cores per socket.
• Memory: DDR4 RDIMMs from 8GB to 128GB at up to 2666 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 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. 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 10 TB. Backplane and tray variants are listed separately under Drive Backplanes.
• Networking from 10GbE to 10GbE. 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: 750–1500W supplies. Platinum and titanium-rated AC units are listed, with redundant pairs for high availability; confirm the rating your component 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 X6800 XH628 V3 in the FusionServer range

The X6800 XH628 V3 is a V3 (life-cycle) platform: Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 (Haswell/Broadwell), DDR4, PCIe 3.0. It predates the current Xeon Scalable generations:

• V8: Intel Xeon 6 (Granite Rapids / Sierra Forest), DDR5, PCIe 5.0 — current/recent production.
• V7: 4th/5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable, DDR5, PCIe 4.0/5.0 — current/recent production.
• V6: 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable, DDR4, PCIe 4.0 — current/recent production.
• V5: 1st/2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable, DDR4, PCIe 3.0 — current/recent production.

Choose this V3 platform when you need to match installed hardware or a fixed software/support window; choose a current generation for new builds. We supply the validated spares here with a 1-year warranty and can quote a current replacement if you prefer.

X6800 XH628 V3 — compatibility FAQ

Which processors does the X6800 XH628 V3 support?

The matrix lists models across the range, including the E5-2603 v3, E5-2650L v4 and E5-2699A v4, with up to 22 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 8GB to 128GB at up to 2666 MT/s. Tell us your capacity target and we will confirm the supported DIMM population.

Which RAID levels are supported?

Validated controllers support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. 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 10 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. Note whether a SKU includes optical modules; we can supply matched optics if required.

What power supplies are available?

The list runs from 750W to 1500W 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 108 certified builds, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu, VMware ESXi, Windows Server, Oracle Linux, 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.

Is the X6800 XH628 V3 still sold as new?

No. It is an EOS platform; we supply it only as a refurbished/used or NOS unit and supply its validated spares, all covered by a 1-year warranty. Ask us for a current V5–V8 replacement if you need a new machine.

What warranty and condition applies?

Refurbished and used components are tested before shipment and carry a 1-year warranty. We grade and document condition on request; current/new-old-stock parts are identified in the quote.
