ProCurve 8200zl Fabric Module
This hot-swappable fabric module installs in the HPE ProCurve 8212zl chassis to provide the data-plane backbone for enterprise data networking. Network engineers upgrading or repairing a core switch use it to restore full switching capacity without powering down the rack.
Compatibility with ProCurve Switch 8212zl
The module is qualified only for the ProCurve Switch 8212zl; it will not function in other chassis or switch families. Buyers must verify their chassis model before purchase because no other platform is supported.
Physical form factor and weight
The unit measures 1.8 inches high, 8.1 inches wide and 10.1 inches deep, weighing approximately 1.65 lb, so it fits the standard fabric slot and can be handled by one technician. It provides the fabric bandwidth designed for the 8212zl; workloads that exceed that chassis limit will require a different switching platform.
