Support for HPE Servers and Systems products

Aruba now supports select HPE Server and Systems interconnect products. This chapter shows the various 10G and 25G DACs and interconnect adapters tested and verified to work with selected Aruba switches.

Support of HPE products includes interoperability of HPE products with the following Aruba switches:

  • Aruba 8320 48 port 10G with 6 ports of 40G Bundle (JL479A)

  • Aruba 8320 48 port 1G/10GBASE-T and 6p 40G QSFP+ Bundle (JL581A)

  • Aruba 8325-48Y8C 48 port of 1/10/25G and 8 port of 40/100G Front-to-Back Bundle (JL624A)

  • Aruba 8325-48Y8C 48 port of 1/10/25G and 8 port of 40/100G Back-to-Front Bundle (JL625A)

Interoperability implies that the Aruba switches have been verified to work with a combination of HPE (10G or25G) DACs or (10 or 25G) Aruba DACs and an HPE server adapter shown in the following tables.

Consult the SERVER NETWORKING TRANSCEIVER AND CABLE COMPATIBILITY MATRIX for compatibility with HPE interconnect products (on hpe.com, search for "server networking transceiver and cable compatibility support matrix").
