What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
C8S47A is what is quoted and C8S47A is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
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.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is C8S47A 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 C8S47A 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.
