Product overview
This is the HPE 8Gbps 16-int/8-ext SAN Switch blade, order code AJ821C. Airflow direction has to match the rest of the row, and a front-to-back unit dropped into a back-to-front aisle will run hot from day one. Tell us the rack layout and we will confirm the variant.
Ask for the datasheet and firmware notes with the quote; we would rather you check our claim than take it.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against AJ821C, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
Quoted with the optics and rails
The switch, the transceivers at both ends and the mounting hardware go on one bill of materials, so nothing blocks the install.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is AJ821C genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in HPE 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 AJ821C 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.
