Here’s a quick review of the HPE Renew Technical Remanufacturing Checklist

There’s an incoming inspection when the product arrives
Then Reconditioning and assembly with genuine HPE parts
All of the latest firmware updates are installed
And a New serial number is assigned
After all of the Quality checks and testing comes the Final product inspection
Then it Ships with a same as new HPE or Aruba factory warranty

The checklist below details how the HPE Renew remanufacturing process truly ensures that all products are a true reflection of new Hewlett Packard Enterprise products.
