Front — Proven APAC Workhorse
Up to 12× 3.5" LFF or 25× 2.5" SFF hot-swap bays. The V3 generation is the most widely deployed Huawei server in APAC data centers — off-lease supply covers China, India, and Southeast Asia.

The RH2288 V3 is the previous generation of the 2288H V5 — same form factor, same 24 DIMM slots, but on the E5-2600 v3/v4 (Haswell/Broadwell) platform instead of Xeon Scalable. The V3 is widely deployed across APAC data centers, giving it the deepest off-lease supply of any Huawei server. For buyers who need E5-2600 v4 compatibility or want the lowest $/core in the Huawei ecosystem, the V3 is the value pick.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a refurbished Huawei RH2288 V3 cost?
Bare chassis $600–$900, configured systems $900–$1,500, high-spec builds up to $2,200 (August 2026 snapshot). APAC supply is deep — the V3 is one of the most affordable 2U platforms available.
What is the difference between the RH2288 V3 and the 2288H V5?
The V3 runs Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 (Haswell/Broadwell) with DDR4-2400; the 2288H V5 moves to 1st/2nd Gen Xeon Scalable with DDR4-2933 and more PCIe slots. Same chassis form factor, same brand ecosystem — the V3 is the budget pick, the V5 is the performance pick.
