Product overview
HPE lists R3B28A as a 16/32Gb 4-port fibre channel HBA. Fabric interoperability is decided by firmware level and by the switch at the other end, not by the port speed on the box. This card is Fibre Channel. Tell us the fabric and we will confirm the supported firmware before it ships.
Ask for the datasheet and firmware notes with the quote; we would rather you check our claim than take it.

Questions buyers ask about this part
Is R3B28A 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 R3B28A 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. 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.
