Huawei FusionServer 2488H V5 2U Rack Server – 2x Xeon Platinum 8176, No RAM, MegaRAID 9361-8i, 16G FC HBA, 2x 2000W PSU

It uses DDR4 ECC registered (RDIMM) or load-reduced (LRDIMM) modules at up to 2666 MT/s. Each Xeon Platinum 8176 has six memory channels. Only the DIMM slots belonging to installed processors are usable. Do not mix RDIMMs and LRDIMMs in the same server. Each 8176 addresses up to 768 GB, giving a ceiling of 1.5 TB with two CPUs fitted.

Yes, two of the four LGA3647 sockets are empty. Intel requires all processors in a multi-socket system to be the same model, so additional CPUs should be Xeon Platinum 8176. Each new processor needs a heatsink. Adding processors also enables the memory slots wired to those sockets. A four-CPU build gives 112 cores and 224 threads.

The Platinum 8176 has 28 cores and 56 threads, with a 2.10 GHz base clock and up to 3.80 GHz single-core turbo. It has 38.5 MB of L3 cache and a 165 W TDP. It is a first-generation Xeon Scalable (Skylake-SP) part on a 14 nm process and supports up to eight-socket configurations.

The Broadcom MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus JBOD. It runs at 12Gb/s SAS and connects to the host over PCIe 3.0 x8. Its 1 GB cache, with battery backup fitted here, allows write-back caching without risking cached data on power loss.

Yes. The two 2000 W hot-swap supplies are rated for 200-240 V input and use C20 inlets. The rack needs PDUs with C19 outlets on high-line power. The supplies run as a redundant pair, so one can be replaced without shutting the server down.

The dual-port QLogic 16Gb FC HBA connects the server to a Fibre Channel SAN. It lets hypervisors or databases use external storage arrays over two independent paths for multipathing and failover. The installed 850 nm SFP+ transceivers are short-wave optics for multimode fibre. They connect to a 16Gb FC switch or a direct-attached array port, and can negotiate down to 8Gb and 4Gb fabrics.

The 24 front bays take 2.5-inch hot-swap drives. Through the MegaRAID 9361-8i they accept SAS and SATA SSDs and hard drives, with SAS running at up to 12Gb/s. No drives are installed in this configuration. Drives must be mounted in Huawei 2.5-inch carriers to seat in the bays.
