Question 1: I received the following information back from our HPE Engineer team, based on the configuration requirements that was posted on the FBO link.

Getting unbuildable error and minimum of 1 Ethernet Interconnect is required.

Please visit the link below and indicate preferred part number and quantity.

HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04128339.pdf Answer 1: We already have the required interconnects which were purchased on a different order including:

2 BROCADE 16GB/28C EMBEDDED SAN SWITCH C8S46A

2 HP BLC VC FLEX-10/10D MODULE OPT 638526-B21

HP will have to work around the fact that we already have the correct components and do not require additional interconnects.

Question 2: Please note that the request contains special Onshore services SKUs, see below:

H1SQ8A3 HPE 3Y In Country Remote Resource SVC H1SQ8A3#WHL HPE ISS Band2 AMS Onshore SVC H1SQ8A3#WHM HPE ISS Band3 AMS Onshore SVC

This build requires an .oca file and Statement of Work from HPE SA for us to quote.

Kindly provide these for us to give you a priced quote.

Answer 2: We do not possess the required .oca file. This must be obtained from the HPE SA.

Question 3: I have 2 questions for you regarding the Solicitation Number: N63394-19-T-0084 HPE Enclosures and Blades:

1. (Q) Part# 718203-B21 HPE LPe1605 16Gb FC HBA not sure where these will be installed; qty does not match number of blade servers in the request. Is the quantity correct? Qty listed is 9?

2. (X) Part# J4V61AAE HPE B-ser Mid/High ISL Trunking E-LTU Do you have an appropriate switch that is compatible with this license?

These Onshore SKUs (ITRR/H1SQ8Ax or SAOR/H1KQ7Ax) caused an unbuildable error which will require a FAN approval. Working on getting that approval.

Answer 3.2: Yes. Part# J4V61AAE HPE B-ser Mid/High ISL Trunking E-LTU will be used with the 2 BROCADE 16GB/28C EMBEDDED SAN SWITCHES C8S46A previously purchased. See Answer 1.

Question 4: When requesting quote for HPE 7000 we received the following request for you.

We noticed that the c7000 Enclosure does not include Interconnects which is required in building c7000 Enclosure.

Let us know the interconnect (along with QTY) they want to use or if they already have an interconnect onsite that they will use for this enclosure

Answer 4: See Answer 1.
