Aruba procurement checklist: regional SKUs, accessories and order scope

A short model name is not a complete order

Use the exact product model, part number, regional variant and quantity. If only a short name is available, provide an equipment label or existing bill of materials so the correct configuration can be identified before an order is placed.

Keep three different statuses separate

• Regional applicability: whether the exact SKU and supported features are suitable for the destination and environment.
• Vendor lifecycle: current, end-of-sale or end-of-support status, checked for the exact item.
• Actual supply: whether the requested configuration can be supplied, with what lead time and order conditions.

A product entry on this website is reference information, not a stock or delivery guarantee. A temporary supply issue does not by itself establish vendor end-of-sale.

Define the complete package

List power supplies, PoE requirements, mounting kits, antennas, optical modules, cables, software, subscriptions and support. Confirm whether each item is already included or separately ordered. Do not infer package contents from a visually similar unit.

For subscriptions, specify the device class, software platform, feature tier, term and account ownership. For expansions, include the existing platform and software version so compatibility can be checked.

What to send for a quotation

1. Exact SKU, quantity and destination country.
2. Deployment environment and existing equipment.
3. Power, mounting, optics and software requirements.
4. Delivery expectations and support scope.
5. Open questions and acceptance requirements.

USD is the default requested quotation currency. Shipping costs, applicable taxes, availability and commercial terms require destination-specific confirmation. Review the BOM template before sending a request.

Legacy equipment

Check lifecycle, software support, installed configuration and compatible components before choosing continued use, expansion or replacement. A newer model number does not establish a direct replacement for mounting, power, interfaces, licenses or software.
