The 2288H V5, Up Close
Front — High-Density Drive Bays
Up to 25× 2.5" SFF hot-swap bays (with expansion tray), or 12× 3.5" LFF. The 25-bay SFF configuration makes the 2288H V5 a strong competitor to the Dell R740xd on bay-per-dollar. Standard iBMC management port on the front panel.
Rear — PCIe Expansion & iBMC
Up to 10× PCIe Gen3 slots, Huawei FlexIO mezzanine for 10/25GbE, dual hot-plug PSUs up to 2000W, and dedicated iBMC management port. The 2288H V5 offers more PCIe slots than most 2U competitors in its class.

The 2288H V5 is Huawei's equivalent of the Dell PowerEdge R740 and HPE DL380 Gen10 — same Skylake/Cascade Lake CPUs, same 24 DIMM slots. The key difference: deep off-lease supply across APAC markets makes the 2288H V5 one of the most cost-effective 2U platforms for buyers who don't need US/EU brand preference. HKCHL's Hong Kong location gives us direct access to this supply chain.
Transparent Pricing
2026 Reference Pricing by Configuration
2288H V5 servers are sourced from China, India, and Southeast Asia refurbisher channels — HKCHL's Hong Kong location provides direct access to APAC supply, often at lower cost than US-sourced Dell/HPE equivalents.
Bare Chassis
On Request
Chassis + motherboard + PSUs. APAC off-lease supply is deep — ask us for current chassis availability.
Configured System
On Request
CPU + RAM + storage built to your spec. Popular for APAC deployments where Huawei hardware fits existing support contracts.
High-Density Storage
On Request
25-bay SFF configuration — one of the highest bay-per-dollar ratios in the Skylake/Cascade Lake generation.

Quality Process
What We Test Before a 2288H V5 Ships
iBMC Health & Event Logs
Huawei iBMC captures thermal events, DIMM errors, and PSU faults. Full log review before anything else.
Full Memory Diagnostics
All 24 DIMM slots tested. The 2288H V5 uses the same Intel memory controller architecture as Dell/HPE — slot-level failures are the same repair concern.
Backplane & Drive Bay Enumeration
All drive bays enumerated; 25-bay expansion tray verified if installed; SMART on all included drives.
Firmware Currency
iBMC, BIOS, and backplane firmware updated to latest supported versions.
Physical Inspection
PCIe riser latches, fan modules, expansion tray connectors, and PSU cage inspected for de-racking damage.
Report in the Box
Every unit ships with its per-machine diagnostic report and warranty. Full process: inspection guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a refurbished Huawei FusionServer 2288H V5 cost?
2288H V5 servers are quoted against live inventory — APAC off-lease supply is deep and typically more cost-effective than equivalent Dell/HPE configurations. Contact us for a current quote.
How does the 2288H V5 compare to the Dell PowerEdge R740?
Same CPU generation (1st/2nd Gen Xeon Scalable), same 24 DIMM slots, similar storage options. The 2288H V5 offers up to 10 PCIe slots vs the R740's 8, and its 25-bay SFF configuration competes directly with the R740xd. The real difference is sourcing: APAC supply channels make the 2288H V5 a strong value for non-US-brand-preference buyers.
Is Huawei server hardware still supported with firmware updates?
Firmware updates for the V5 generation are available through Huawei's enterprise support portal. We update iBMC, BIOS, and backplane firmware before shipment. If you need ongoing firmware access, we recommend confirming your region's support availability.
What condition are your refurbished 2288H V5 servers in?
Every 2288H V5 passes documented per-unit diagnostics — iBMC log review, full 24-slot memory testing, drive bay enumeration, firmware updates, and physical inspection — and ships with the report and warranty.
Can you ship 2288H V5 servers internationally from Hong Kong?
Yes. We ship worldwide from our Hong Kong warehouse with full export documentation. Our location gives us direct access to the APAC refurbisher supply chain, often translating to faster turnaround and lower cost for Huawei-brand servers.
