HPE Aruba 5-Year Foundation Care NBD Exchange for 1820 48G Switch | Service — U8EG3E

Keep edge switching available when a hardware fault would otherwise stall users, phones, and downstream systems. This HPE Aruba Foundation Care service provides 5 years of next business day exchange coverage for the HPE 1820-48G and 1820-48G-PoE+ (370W) switch models. Built for teams that want predictable recovery without the overhead of onsite repair, the service routes replacement through a service depot exchange model. That means a failed covered unit can be replaced quickly through the established return-and-replacement process, helping you restore network access with less administrative friction. For branch offices, small campuses, and distributed closets, this coverage adds a practical layer of continuity to a switch that often sits at the center of local connectivity. It is a strong fit when the cost of extended outage time is higher than the cost of service protection, and when procurement needs a clear support term tied to a specific hardware platform. Use this service to extend the useful life of the switch investment, reduce unplanned replacement risk, and keep support aligned to the deployment window. Ideal For Branch office switching where rapid replacement matters more than onsite repair Small campus access layers that need predictable support coverage Distributed network closets supporting users, phones, and local devices Procurement of service protection for a specific HPE 1820 switch refresh Why This Product 1 5-year term versus shorter coverage windows 2 Exchange-based replacement versus onsite repair 3 Supports HPE 1820-48G and 1820-48G-PoE+ (370W) 4 Depot workflow suited to edge switch recovery
