| Description: | Buy HPE 867796-B21 Virtual Connect SE F32 Module. Genuine part with fast worldwide shipping from Euroland IT Store UK. |
| Availability: | In Stock |
The HPE 867796-B21 Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for Synergy is a high-performance network interconnect designed for HPE Synergy composable infrastructure. It consolidates Ethernet and storage networking connections, helping data centres manage connectivity across compatible Synergy compute modules and frames.
Rather than installing inside a conventional ProLiant PCIe slot, the 867796-B21 operates as a primary interconnect module within a supported HPE Synergy environment. Its architecture supports high-bandwidth connections between compute resources, upstream networks and additional Synergy frames.
For organisations maintaining or expanding HPE Synergy infrastructure, this module provides an option for high-speed fabric connectivity and centralised network management.

Configuration note: Published connector counts describe the module’s physical interfaces. Actual usable ports, link speeds and Fibre Channel capabilities depend on transceivers, cabling, firmware, licensing and the supported Synergy configuration.
The HPE 867796-B21 is specifically designed for supported HPE Synergy frames and associated networking components. It is not a general-purpose rack switch or a standalone Fibre Channel adapter.
HPE documents compatibility with selected Synergy compute modules, interconnect link modules and converged network adapters. These include qualified configurations using HPE Synergy 480 compute modules and supported 4820C or 6820C network adapters.
Before purchasing, verify the following:
One of the defining characteristics of the Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 is its primary/satellite design.
The 867796-B21 acts as the primary module, providing the intelligent networking functions. Compatible HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Modules can extend fabric connectivity into additional frames.
This approach allows organisations to consolidate network connections instead of deploying separate switching equipment for every frame.
However, the benefits depend on the complete fabric design, including uplink capacity, cabling and supported interconnect combinations.
The module supports high-speed Ethernet networking and converged storage traffic within supported Synergy deployments.
HPE documents 25Gb and 50Gb downlink capabilities alongside 100Gb uplink connectivity. The module also supports Fibre Channel-related functions, including 8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb operation in qualified configurations.
Important: Native 32Gb Fibre Channel connectivity requires the appropriate HPE Synergy 32Gb Fibre Channel Upgrade Licence, part number R3P67A, for each applicable interconnect module. Compatible transceivers are also required.
Buyers should confirm whether the necessary licences and optical modules are already present in their infrastructure. They should not assume that purchasing the 867796-B21 module alone enables every Fibre Channel feature.
The Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 integrates with HPE Synergy Composer and HPE OneView for software-defined infrastructure management.
Administrators can use supported network templates and logical interconnect configurations to manage connectivity across Synergy compute resources.
This can simplify operational tasks such as assigning networks, maintaining fabric settings and coordinating firmware updates.
HPE also documents features including VLAN support, link aggregation and network failover configurations. Their use depends on the installed software and the wider network design.
Different HPE Synergy interconnect modules serve different purposes:
These products should not be treated as direct substitutes. A primary module and a satellite interconnect link module perform different roles within the Synergy fabric.
Before replacing an existing interconnect module, document the current HPE OneView configuration, logical interconnect settings, firmware versions and network connections.
Follow the applicable HPE Synergy maintenance procedure to minimise disruption to production workloads.
When replacing a module, confirm the correct part number, supported firmware level and compatibility with the installed interconnect group.
Also verify whether QSFP28 transceivers, interconnect cables, licences and other accessories are included with the supplied unit.
New: New or unused 867796-B21 modules may be suitable for Synergy fabric expansion or replacement projects. Confirm availability, original packaging, accessories, warranty and applicable licensing arrangements.
Refurbished: A Refurbished Virtual Connect module may provide a cost-effective solution for maintaining existing HPE Synergy infrastructure. Buyers should request confirmation of hardware testing, management detection, port condition and firmware compatibility.
For either condition, confirm the included components, support eligibility, warranty terms and UK delivery arrangements before ordering.
