HPE 9012 4-Year Foundation Care Service

Keep an HPE Aruba 9012 gateway under a named Foundation Care service entitlement for 4 years. HQ6K3E denotes the EDU/R version of that service and is scoped to the Aruba 9012 platform. It represents support coverage rather than a gateway, expansion module, or software feature, so it belongs with the supported equipment when establishing the required service term. The four-year term is the defining selection point for this service code. Foundation Care identifies the service offering, while the SBD and EDU/R designations remain part of its service description. These distinctions matter where the installed gateway must retain the intended coverage type and duration. They do not change the supported hardware into a different gateway model or add gateway interfaces, capacity, or software functionality. Use this service where the covered product is an Aruba 9012. Record the gateway model and required coverage duration together before requesting service, particularly in environments operating multiple Aruba platforms with separate support needs. The scope is intentionally narrow: it attaches a named, four-year Foundation Care service to one specified gateway platform. It is therefore appropriate when the required outcome is continued service coverage for that platform, not delivery of another physical appliance.
