SN0116 - Unverified Part Number, Suspected Fibre Channel SAN Switch
Technical Identity
SN0116 is the code exactly as printed on the unit. The owner stock record describes it as likely a Fibre Channel SAN switch. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS searched Brocade, Cisco, HPE, QLogic and Emulex public part-number references and found no match for SN0116, so the SAN-switch description is an unverified working hypothesis and nothing more. No manufacturer, model, port count, port speed or Fibre Channel generation is claimed.
Engineering-sample, pre-production and unverified-part-number hardware carries no NVIDIA / Mellanox support entitlement, no manufacturer warranty, no vendor firmware entitlement and no RMA path. Sold for lab, spares and evaluation use.

Engineering Context
SN0116 does not match any published SAN switch part-number scheme T.E.S could locate. It may be an internal, OEM or reseller code rather than a manufacturer MPN. Because Fibre Channel generations and port counts differ entirely between models, T.E.S will not infer a specification from a code alone. The listing exists so buyers who can identify it from photographs can acquire it cheaply.
What is known
The code SN0116 is printed on the unit, which is physically in T.E.S EU stock.
The owner stock record classifies it as likely a Fibre Channel SAN switch. That is a description, not a verification.
Quantity is 7, one stock lot. No warranty, no support entitlement, no RMA path.
What is not yet confirmed
The manufacturer. Brocade, Cisco, QLogic, Emulex and HPE references were checked with no match.
Whether it is in fact a Fibre Channel SAN switch at all.
Port count, port speed, Fibre Channel generation and licensing state.
Firmware and licence state, and whether the unit powers on or links at all.
Whether NVIDIA or any vendor would recognise or service it. Assume not.
Request Label Photos
T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS photographs the regulatory label, serial number and board markings on this exact unit before dispatch. Request photos before you commit. Pricing is subject to confirmation of the exact unit.
Use Cases
Lab and bench work where an unidentified SAN-class unit is acceptable.
Repair-donor and spares harvesting.
Identification purchases by buyers who recognise the hardware from photographs.
What This Is NOT
NOT a supported production unit. SN0116 was never released as a documented, supported shipping product under this code.
NOT covered by warranty or RMA. No manufacturer warranty, no advance replacement, no vendor support route.
NOT supplied with firmware, licences, MLNX-OS or DOCA entitlement or vendor documentation.
NOT stated to be equivalent to any production model. No mapping from SN0116 to a shipping part number is implied.
NOT specified for ports, speed, connector or protocol. No port count, Gb/s figure or cage type is claimed for SN0116.
NOT supplied with rails, brackets, transceivers, cables or PSUs unless confirmed for the specific unit.
Compatibility & Hard Constraints
No compatibility list is published for SN0116. T.E.S does not state platform compatibility for an unverified part number.
Identity verification is the buyer gate. Model, ports, speed, connector and protocol must be read off the unit first.
Connector-family caution: OSFP, QSFP-DD, QSFP112, QSFP56, QSFP28, QSFP+ and SFP cages are not interchangeable.
Generation caution: SDR, DDR, QDR, FDR, EDR, HDR and NDR are not interchangeable, nor are Ethernet speed grades with InfiniBand generations.
Pre-deployment verification: firmware, licence state and power-on behaviour are unknown. Do not buy SN0116 for a production fabric.
Fibre Channel caution: 2G, 4G, 8G, 16G and 32G Fibre Channel generations and their SFP families are not interchangeable. None is claimed for SN0116.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What exactly am I buying when I order SN0116?
One physical unit marked SN0116, from a lot of 7 held in the EU. The owner stock record describes it as likely a Fibre Channel SAN switch, which T.E.S could not verify. Hardware only - not a documented model, specification sheet, firmware, licence, warranty or support entitlement, because none exist for SN0116.
Q. Is SN0116 a production unit?
Unknown. T.E.S cannot confirm SN0116 as a production part number because no manufacturer reference for it could be found. It is sold as an unidentified unit with no warranty, no support entitlement and no RMA path, for lab, spares and evaluation use only.
Q. Will you confirm the model before shipping SN0116?
T.E.S photographs exactly what is printed on the unit - the SN0116 code, regulatory label, serial number and board markings - before dispatch. No production-model equivalence is asserted, as no public documentation supports one. Any further part number found on the label is passed to you unedited.
Q. Is SN0116 tested?
SN0116 receives visual and cosmetic inspection and label photography. Functional testing is limited by the absence of vendor firmware and documentation, so do not assume it has been validated. Where a rig is available T.E.S will attempt a power-on check on request and report the result honestly, including a negative result.
Q. Can I get photos of the regulatory label on SN0116?
Yes. Request label photographs before ordering and T.E.S will photograph the label, serial number and board markings on the actual SN0116 unit that would ship to you. Pricing is subject to confirmation of the exact unit.
