HPE 8100 3-Year Foundation Care Center Service

Maintain Aruba 8100 40- and 48-port switching systems under a three-year Aruba Foundation Care Center service term. H84A8E applies to the specified Aruba 8100 platform configuration and combines Foundation Care Center support with comprehensive defective material retention. It is a service entitlement rather than a switch, expansion module, or physical replacement component. Foundation Care Center provides a defined support-service path for the covered Aruba switching environment. The three-year duration helps align service coverage with longer infrastructure operating cycles, while the Center designation identifies the support-service delivery model. Comprehensive defective material retention is included for deployments that need to retain defective components rather than release them for return processing. This service is specific to Aruba 8100 systems with 40 or 48 ports. That platform scope distinguishes it from general Aruba support coverage and makes the covered hardware configuration central to selection. Use it where an Aruba 8100 40-port or 48-port switch requires a three-year Foundation Care Center term with defective-material-retention capability.
