HP compatible 721000-002 Description
HPE 721000-002 is a 10Gb short-range SFP+ transceiver designated for HPE MSA (Modular Smart Array) storage controllers running iSCSI. This part number appears in the MSA 1040 and MSA 2040 series parts catalogs as the standard 10GbE iSCSI host connectivity option. The -002 suffix in HPE's storage optics numbering reflects an internal HPE catalog variant; the optical and electrical specification is identical to 721000-001; 721000-001 is the earlier revision of the same module. Optically, both revisions are standard 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceivers: 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, LC duplex connector, 6.1 dB link budget per IEEE 802.3ae, with rated reach of 300 m on OM3 or 400 m on OM4 multimode fiber.
EdgeOptic's compatible matches the original parameters and is coded with HPE-recognized EEPROM data for native acceptance on MSA storage controllers. The SFP+ MSA chipset supports 1.25 to 10.3125 Gbps data rates and provides DDM telemetry for monitoring link health directly from the MSA management interface. MSA controllers validate transceiver vendor identity more strictly than typical Ethernet switches, making proper EEPROM coding particularly important for iSCSI storage deployments. Standard commercial temperature range: 0 to 70 °C.
Compliant with SFF-8431/8432 SFP+ MSA. CE/RoHS certified. The 721000-series is distinct from HPE's server and BladeSystem transceiver part numbers (e.g., 455883-B21, 456096-001), which are cataloged under ProLiant and blade infrastructure. The underlying 10GBASE-SR specification is the same across all of these HPE PNs, but MSA warranty and support processes reference the 721000-series specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use 721000-002 in a ProLiant server instead of an MSA controller?
Electrically and optically, the 721000-002 is identical to other HPE 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules. It will function in ProLiant NIC and CNA ports that accept SFP+ optics. However, for dedicated server use HPE lists different part numbers (e.g., 455883-B21 for BladeSystem c-Class). The 721000-series is cataloged under MSA storage for procurement and warranty tracking, so using the correct PN simplifies HPE support interactions.
What is the difference between 721000-001 and 721000-002?
Both are HPE MSA 10Gb iSCSI SFP+ SR modules. The -001 and -002 suffixes represent different assembly revisions in HPE's storage parts catalog. The optical specification (850 nm, 10GBASE-SR, 300 m OM3, 400 m OM4) is the same for both. Check the MSA controller's QuickSpecs or support matrix to confirm which revision is listed for the installed firmware version.
