HPE Synergy 50GB Interconnect Link MOD - 867793-B21

HPE 867793-B21 Synergy 50GB Interconnect Link Module

Overview

The HPE 867793-B21 is a 50GB Interconnect Link Module designed for HPE Synergy composable infrastructure frames. It provides high-bandwidth fabric connectivity between Synergy compute modules and the broader data center network, making it a foundational component in composable infrastructure deployments where east-west bandwidth and low-latency frame interconnect matter. If you are building or expanding an HPE Synergy environment, this module slots into the interconnect bay to deliver the 50Gb link capacity your compute blades need to share resources at scale.

The 867793-B21 (often searched as 867793 B21) ships as a factory-new unit with a 3-year manufacturer warranty — relevant when you are planning a multi-year composable infrastructure lifecycle. At 3.0 kg and 496mm × 398mm × 149.5mm, it is sized for standard Synergy frame bays; confirm bay availability and frame generation compatibility before ordering.

Key Features

• 50GB Interconnect Bandwidth: Delivers 50Gb link capacity within the Synergy frame fabric — the headroom you need when multiple compute modules are contending for shared network uplink resources simultaneously.
• Composable Infrastructure Integration: Designed specifically for HPE Synergy frames, this module integrates with the Synergy Composer management plane, allowing software-defined connectivity reconfiguration without physical rewiring.
• 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty: The included warranty aligns with typical data center refresh cycles, reducing total cost of ownership risk on a infrastructure-tier component.
• Commercial-Grade Form Factor: At 3.0 kg with a 496 × 398 × 149.5mm footprint, the module is engineered for Synergy frame bay installation — not a field-improvised fit.

Integration & Compatibility

The 867793-B21 is part of the HPE Synergy ecosystem. Verify compatibility with your specific Synergy frame model and firmware revision before procurement — HPE Synergy interconnect modules are frame-generation specific. Consult HPE's network infrastructure compatibility matrices or your HPE account team for frame-to-module validation. This is not a standalone switch or a universally compatible module; it is purpose-built for Synergy composable frames.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the warranty on the HPE 867793-B21?

A: The 867793-B21 carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Q: What are the physical dimensions and weight of the 867793-B21?

A: The module measures 496mm (L) × 398mm (W) × 149.5mm (H) and weighs 3.0 kg.

Q: Is the 867793-B21 compatible with all HPE Synergy frames?

A: The 867793-B21 is designed for HPE Synergy composable infrastructure, but interconnect module compatibility is frame-generation specific. Verify against HPE's compatibility matrix for your specific Synergy frame model before ordering.

Q: Does the 867793-B21 require additional licensing to operate?

A: Licensing requirements depend on the Synergy management software version and frame configuration. Consult HPE documentation for your specific deployment — this cannot be confirmed from available evidence.

Karl Wilson

The 867793-B21 is a purpose-built interconnect component for HPE Synergy composable frames — its 50GB link capacity is the relevant spec to size against your east-west traffic model before committing to a frame configuration. This is not a module you evaluate in isolation; it lives or dies by whether your Synergy frame generation supports it.

Technical Highlights:

• 50GB Link Capacity: Sized for high-density compute blade environments where multiple modules compete for shared fabric bandwidth — underprovision here and you create a latency bottleneck at the frame level.
• Frame-Integrated Design: At 496mm × 398mm × 149.5mm and 3.0 kg, the module is dimensioned for Synergy bay installation — not adaptable to other blade chassis without HPE frame compatibility confirmation.
• 3-Year Warranty Coverage: Aligns with standard data center hardware refresh windows, which matters for infrastructure-tier components that are expensive to replace mid-cycle.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your specific Synergy frame model and generation against HPE's interconnect compatibility matrix before ordering — Synergy interconnect modules are not universally interchangeable across frame generations.
• Available source evidence for the 867793-B21 is limited to physical dimensions and warranty; protocol specifics, supported firmware revisions, and VLT/stacking behavior should be verified directly against HPE's Synergy documentation for your environment.

The 867793-B21 is the right pull for an HPE Synergy composable infrastructure expansion where the interconnect bay is the bottleneck — specifically in multi-blade high-compute environments where 50Gb east-west fabric capacity is the design target.
