Product overview
This is the HPE 2-Ports 16GB fiber channel Adapter for nimble storage, order code Q8F57A. A card that fits the slot may still be unsupported by the array vendor's compatibility matrix, which is the document that decides support cases. We check that matrix, not just the slot.
Quote requests are answered within 48 business hours, with availability confirmed before you raise a purchase order rather than after.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against Q8F57A, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
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 Q8F57A 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 Q8F57A 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, 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.
