Global leader in new, refurbished, compatible & discontinued multivendor IT-Hardware, spares and print supplies.
The HPE 684429-001 is the spare part number for the SN3000B 16Gb 24-port Fibre Channel SAN switch, a B-series storage networking switch built for entry and mid-range SAN environments. If you are maintaining an existing B-series fabric, replacing a failed unit, or expanding storage connectivity for HPE server and storage estates, the 684429-001 gives you a like-for-like replacement that drops straight into your current fabric configuration.
As a 16Gb Fibre Channel SAN switch, the SN3000B platform delivers the bandwidth and low latency required for virtualised workloads, backup infrastructure, and shared storage arrays. It is a popular choice for organisations connecting HPE ProLiant servers and MSA, 3PAR, or StoreOnce storage, and it remains widely deployed in UK data centres and server rooms where proven, stable SAN hardware matters more than headline new-model features.
Because 684429-001 is a service spare, it is frequently searched by IT teams and maintenance providers who need an exact part match for warranty-expired fabrics. Euroland IT Store, a trusted UK supplier of enterprise hardware and HPE parts, stocks the HPE 684429-001 in both new and refurbished condition, with every refurbished switch tested before dispatch. That means you can keep an ageing but business-critical SAN running without paying full list price for current-generation hardware.
Buying the 684429-001 from stock also shortens repair timelines. Rather than waiting on manufacturer lead times for an end-of-life product, you can order today, request a quote for volume requirements, and get your fabric back to full redundancy quickly. For the retail SKU version of this same platform, see our QW938A listing.
Replacing or expanding SAN hardware with the HPE 684429-001 protects the investment you have already made in your Fibre Channel fabric. Instead of re-architecting storage networking around new platforms, you keep a known-good design running with an exact-match spare, which reduces both project risk and engineering time.
Refurbished 684429-001 units offer substantial savings against original list price, which is particularly valuable when the switch is destined for a secondary site, DR fabric, or as a cold spare held on the shelf. New-condition stock is also available where procurement policies require it. Either way, you avoid the long lead times and premium pricing that often accompany end-of-sale enterprise hardware.
For IT managers, the practical benefit is uptime: a tested replacement switch on the shelf or rapidly delivered means storage connectivity is restored in hours rather than weeks. Many buyers populate ports with the HPE 793443-001 16Gb FC SFP+ Transceiver and connect hosts using the HPE 863010-001 SN1100Q 16Gb FC HBA from the same order. For procurement teams, it means predictable cost, UK-based supply, and a single point of contact across our full range of SAN and server switches, transceivers, and HBAs together.
