HP J4885A Hewlett-Packard HP ProCurve networking / enterprise server hardware Optical Transmission Module

The HP J4885A is a ProCurve 9300 EP 8-port mini-GBIC management module, a line card for the Switch 9300 series chassis (9308M and 9315M) that combines the chassis’s management processor function with 8 Gigabit fibre ports via mini-GBIC transceivers, which must be ordered separately for the required fibre type. As the module carrying chassis management, it is a critical spare: a Switch 9300 chassis needs a working management module of this type installed to operate at all, not just to provide the 8 fibre ports it also carries. It fits into the dedicated management slot of an existing 9300-series chassis. This is the correct spare for restoring a chassis to service after a management module failure. Specifiers should confirm their exact 9308M or 9315M chassis configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies refurbished HP hardware for engineers maintaining or expanding existing Switch 9300 deployments.
