Rack Rail for MSA50

The quickspecs for the MSA50 SAS JBOD enclosure say the rack rail option is
3R-A5281-AA. Does this go by alternate spare or option or assembly
numbers? I don't find the 3R part number version on any of the price
comparison services.

spare part numbers for North America usually end in -B21. The format sited
above is not familiar to me. I think it might be an assembly number, and not
a part number.

Confirms that as the correct part

3R-A5281-AA = HP part number, as opposed to Compaq part numbers which are
still the norm for proliant range servers.

That's an option code number - that's what you use to order part or an
upgrade, but not a "spare" as such..
If that's region specific, those last 3 digits can change.

A Spare Part number ends in -001. Normally, all parts have a spare number
that ends in -001 except explicitly region specific parts like keyboards or
power cables.

A part almost always has a part number on it (usually labled "replace with
spare"), with the exception of certain parts like memory sticks, which can
have an assemble number on instead. Most parts also have an assembly number
on as well, though this can be hard to find. Parts never have an option
number on them.

I'm aware of the standard format of Option and Spare numbers. The
3R-A5281-AA number is the only number I am finding in HP's Quickspec
documentation for the MSA50.

If someone has access to a different cross reference, I would appreciate
knowing the Option or Spare number for the rack mount rail for the MSA50.

That means it's an HP part from HP stock, and not a Compaq part from Compaq
stock. Yes, I know, it may well seem confusing...

If that's not enough, call HP - I reckon an MSA50 still has to be under some
sort of support contract, so you should be able to talk the spare/option
part out of them.

If you go to HP Partsurfer they find the part and don't quote price. If
you select the link provided there for HP Parts Store, there they find the
part and tell you that it cannot be ordered.

I guess we'll try the support ticket route.
