What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against 7309-HC3 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 7309-HC3 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in IBM packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will 7309-HC3 work in my server?
- Tell us what it is aggregating and what optics you already hold. We confirm the port mix, the uplink capacity and the airflow variant, and we will list the optics and rail kit you will also need.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Multi-node training is bounded by the fabric between the nodes, so the switch is specified with the cluster rather than after it.
