HPE Aruba 8100 40/48-Port 4-Hour Exchange Service

Keep Aruba 8100 40- and 48-port switching hardware under a four-year Foundation Care service term with HPE H84B1E. This service entitlement applies to the specified Aruba 8100 port-count variants and adds a 4-hour exchange service level for covered hardware. It is a support service rather than a switch, so it does not add Ethernet interfaces, uplink capacity, or network features to the installed platform. Foundation Care places the 4-hour exchange characteristic at the center of this SKU. Where an eligible hardware exchange is required, the service level identifies the exchange timing attached to the covered device. Match the service to the installed 40- or 48-port Aruba 8100 switch variant; the port-count scope is part of the coverage definition, not a general service designation for unrelated Aruba equipment. The four-year term keeps coverage in place through a defined operating period for an Aruba 8100 deployment. Its combination of Foundation Care, four-year duration, and 4-hour exchange differentiates it from service choices with another coverage term, exchange level, or hardware scope. Associate the service with the specific supported switch requiring coverage so that the 40- or 48-port compatibility requirement is retained.
