Product overview
Part number JH398A identifies this HPE 4-Slot 2560Gbps <1µs L3 modular Switch. 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.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
JH398A is what is quoted and JH398A 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.
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 JH398A 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 JH398A 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 — POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

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.
