2288H V6 vs 2288H V5
The 2288H V6 and the 2288H V5 are both rack servers we supply tested from Hong Kong, and the figures below are the same ones published on each product page. They share 1 listed specification row and separate on processors, memory, power, so the decision is less about "which is better" and more about which of those differences your platform or workload can actually use.
Nothing on this page is a price: used and refurbished hardware is repriced weekly, so both are quoted on request against confirmed stock with the date the quote holds until. If you are replacing a part, send the platform and we will confirm the population before you commit.

Decision
Which one to buy
With two rack servers the decision usually comes down to three things: which processor generation the platform takes, which memory type comes with it, and how many PCIe lanes and bays you get. A newer generation (4th/5th Gen Xeon, DDR5, PCIe Gen5) is the longer-lived buy and will still take current-generation parts in three years; a previous-generation DDR4 platform is the value buy when the workload is settled and the CPUs and memory for it are already on the shelf. Neither choice is wrong — but the platform decides what you can upgrade later, so match it to the CPU and memory you intend to run rather than to the chassis.
Choose the 2288H V6 if
- ·Processors: 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake), LGA4189, dual socket
- ·Memory: 32 x DDR4-3200 DIMM slots
- ·Power: Dual redundant hot-plug PSU
Choose the 2288H V5 if
- ·Processors: 2× 1st/2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Skylake/Cascade Lake), up to 28 cores each
- ·Memory: 24× DDR4 DIMM slots, up to 3TB RDIMM/LRDIMM, 2933 MT/s (DCPMM supported)

Frequently asked questions
How much do the 2288H V6 and the 2288H V5 cost?
We do not publish prices for either: secondary-market hardware is repriced weekly. Send the quantity, the platform and the condition you want and we quote both against confirmed stock, with the date the figure holds until.
What is the main difference between the 2288H V6 and the 2288H V5?
Processors (2288H V6: 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake), LGA4189, dual socket; 2288H V5: 2× 1st/2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (Skylake/Cascade Lake), up to 28 cores each); Memory (2288H V6: 32 x DDR4-3200 DIMM slots; 2288H V5: 24× DDR4 DIMM slots, up to 3TB RDIMM/LRDIMM, 2933 MT/s (DCPMM supported)); Power (2288H V6: Dual redundant hot-plug PSU; 2288H V5: Redundant PSUs, 550W–2000W options).
Can I use the 2288H V6 and the 2288H V5 in the same system?
No. These are complete server platforms, not components: you would run two machines, not combine them. If you need a mixed fleet, we quote both configurations instead.
Which one should I buy?
Buy the one whose strong points match the job: see the "Choose" section above. If you are replacing an existing part, send the platform or the old part number and we will confirm compatibility before you order.
What condition are they in, and do you ship worldwide?
Both are supplied tested with a 1-year written warranty. Condition is stated line by line before you order — new, decommissioned pull or OEM tray — and we ship worldwide from the Hong Kong warehouse with full export documentation, typically 3–7 days by air.
