Overview
New B480 M5 blades exist for the estates finishing their classic-chassis story properly: the full-width scale-up slots filled with sealed hardware, Cisco entitlement intact, no surprises in the audit trail while the architecture serves out its planned years. A full-width blade slot left empty is capacity the chassis already paid for and never used. We locate remaining sealed stock through the Chinese channel, verify it unopened at Shenzhen, and export with serials pre-declared. The one-year hardwaresys Return-to-Base warranty comes from us, vendor terms from Cisco. The refurbished B480 M5 alongside carries the same role for less. Number the empty full-width slots and request a quote. Remaining stock is finite by definition.

We quote real availability — In Shenzhen — ready, or build-to-order with a date — never a stock status we can't hold.
Grey-market boxes with no history
Every unit is QC-tested with a documented report; you see the checks before it ships.
Refurb that's really e-waste
