What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
C8R38A is what is quoted and C8R38A is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
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.
Checked against the fabric
We confirm firmware level against the switch and the array vendor compatibility matrix before the card ships.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is C8R38A genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the HPE warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will C8R38A work in my server?
- Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it — firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.
