HP J9308A

Overview

The HP J9308A is a network adapter card designed to expand the port capacity of ProCurve 5406zl and 5412zl switch chassis. It provides twenty 10/100/1000Base-T ports with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) and four SFP slots for flexible uplink options. This module enables seamless network growth by integrating additional Gigabit Ethernet ports and PoE+ power delivery directly into your existing switch infrastructure, supporting devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without the need for separate power sources.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
