The HPE C8R24B is the customer option-kit 16Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ transceiver for HPE MSA storage arrays, purchased when configuring or expanding host connectivity on MSA 2040, MSA 2050 and MSA 2060 systems. Where spare part numbers such as 720999-002 and 876143-001 are what you order after a failure, C8R24B is the part number quoted on configuration sheets when arrays are first built or upgraded, and Euroland IT Store supplies it new and refurbished from UK stock at prices well below list.
Fitted into an MSA controller host port, the C8R24B provides qualified 16Gb FC optical connectivity over LC fibre, linking the array into redundant SAN fabrics through switches such as the SN3000B and onwards to server HBAs. Each optic is hot-pluggable, so ports can be populated or exchanged on a live array. For dual-controller MSA configurations, most designs call for matched optics across both controllers to keep pathing symmetrical, which is why this option is frequently bought in pairs or fours.
Buyers searching for C8R24B are typically commissioning a new MSA, converting unused host ports to Fibre Channel, or upgrading an older 8Gb estate to 16Gb performance. In each scenario the qualified HPE option ensures the controller recognises the optic, negotiates at full speed and remains within supported configuration guidelines, which is important for warranty positions and support contracts.
As MSA generations mature, sourcing the C8R24B option through conventional channels can involve long lead times. Euroland IT Store, a trusted UK supplier of enterprise storage hardware and HPE parts, holds tested stock ready for fast dispatch, offers genuine savings on refurbished units, and provides matched sets for dual-fabric builds. Contact us for a quick quote, compatibility confirmation against your controller part numbers, or volume pricing for reseller and MSP projects.
Populating MSA host ports with the qualified C8R24B optic gives you dependable 16Gb Fibre Channel links from day one: stable negotiation, clean signal margins and full multipath redundancy across both controllers. For the virtualisation clusters and database servers that typically sit behind an MSA, that translates into consistent low-latency storage performance and no unexplained path drops to chase. For post-failure replacements, the spares-channel HPE 720999-002 MSA 16Gb SFP+ Transceiver and HPE 876143-001 MSA 16Gb SFP+ Transceiver are the equivalent parts, and we stock all three.
The savings available through Euroland IT Store change the economics of array configuration. Refurbished C8R24B units are individually tested and cost a fraction of list price, so fully populating four or eight host ports, something often trimmed from budgets, becomes affordable. New units are on hand for customers who require factory-sealed options.
There is also a resilience dividend: at these prices, adding one or two shelf spares to your order is trivial, converting any future optic failure into a same-day hot-swap. On the fabric side, the HPE QW938A SN3000B 16Gb SAN Switch is the switch tier these optics uplink into, and our host bus adapters range covers the server end. One trusted UK source for the optic, the controllers, the switches and the HBAs keeps procurement simple and your SAN fully supported.
