HPE 5960 24P 4-Year Foundation Care NBD Service

Maintain service coverage for an HPE Aruba Networking 5960 24P with a four-year HPE Foundation Care term. H85N0E pairs the covered 24-port platform with next-business-day hardware support and the Comprehensive Defective Material Retention service characteristic. It is a support entitlement rather than a switch, so it extends the service posture for installed network hardware instead of adding ports, optics, or management functions. Foundation Care places this service in HPE’s hardware-support portfolio for the named platform. The next-business-day designation matters where an outage response plan calls for business-day hardware service rather than a longer replacement window. Comprehensive Defective Material Retention is included in the service description, providing the retention option associated with defective material on covered equipment. Select the entitlement when the installed device is specifically the 5960 24P. The four-year period distinguishes this service configuration from shorter-term coverage choices in the same support family. Its combination of Foundation Care, NBD hardware support, and CDMR is the defining scope; the service does not change the switch’s port count, software feature set, or physical installation. Record the covered platform as HPE Aruba Networking 5960 24P when aligning the support entitlement to hardware already in service at the site.
