Extreme Networks 8520 4-Hour Advanced Hardware Replacement Service

Keep the AC-powered, front-to-back airflow ExtremeSwitching 8520-48Y-8C-AC-F platform under a 4-hour advanced hardware replacement service. Advanced hardware replacement addresses hardware recovery by providing a replacement workflow for covered switch hardware, rather than treating the service as a generic technical-support entitlement. The four-hour designation is the defining service characteristic for this SKU. The covered 8520 platform is a high-density data-center switch configuration with 48 25 GbE SFP28 interfaces and 8 100 GbE QSFP28 interfaces. Its AC power configuration and front-to-back airflow orientation matter in rack environments that standardize on matching power and cooling layouts. Associating service with that exact configuration helps maintain replacement compatibility for the installed switch. Extreme Networks 97007-8520-48Y-8C-AC-F specifically pairs 4-hour AHR coverage with the 8520-48Y-8C-AC-F hardware designation. It differs from general support services by centering on advanced replacement of the covered hardware, and it differs from services for other 8520 configurations through its explicit AC and airflow-specific product association. Use it where the installed switch is the 48-port 25 GbE and 8-port 100 GbE configuration and a four-hour replacement characteristic is required.
