Server Parts for Ethiopia

Why Ethiopia IT teams source from ICD

Ethiopia's enterprise IT infrastructure — spanning Ethio Telecom, Commercial Bank of Ethiopia DC, Wingu Africa Addis and banking sector operators such as CBE, Awash Bank, Dashen Bank — runs on a large installed base of Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, and Cisco UCS hardware. Much of it is post-warranty but still in active production under 24x7 SLAs. This is where ICD fits: fast access to spare parts and refurbished components that keep these platforms running cost-effectively.

ICD serves Ethiopia from Cairo via DHL Express with 4-6 day door-to-door transit typical for Addis Ababa deliveries. USD-only pricing keeps quotes stable through ETB (birr) cycles. Our 500,000+ part catalogue covers memory (DDR3/DDR4/DDR5 RDIMM, LRDIMM, 3DS), enterprise HDDs (SAS/SATA/NL-SAS), SSDs (SAS/SATA/NVMe across endurance classes), RAID controllers (Dell PERC H330-H965, HPE Smart Array P408i-MR416i), processors (Intel Xeon Scalable Gen1-Gen5, Xeon 6, AMD EPYC 7001-9004), networking (Broadcom, Intel, Mellanox, Cisco adapters 1GbE-100GbE plus SFP28/QSFP28 transceivers), power supplies 460W-2400W, and storage parts for NetApp FAS/AFF, Dell EMC PowerStore/Unity/Isilon, Pure FlashArray, Hitachi VSP, and HPE Nimble/3PAR/Primera/Alletra.

Shipping to Ethiopia

DHL Express 4-6 business days Cairo to Addis Ababa Bole. Same-day dispatch for ready-to-ship items on orders confirmed before 11:00 AM Cairo time. Full commercial invoices with HS codes, packing lists, air waybill tracking, and origin declarations are standard. All-risk transit insurance optional on CIF value. Multi-site deliveries within Ethiopia supported on a single consolidated order.

Conformity paperwork via Ethiopian Standards Agency provided on request where required. Our export documentation is designed for direct use by your clearing agent at Addis Ababa ports of entry.

Payment terms for Ethiopia customers

USD wire transfer (T/T) is the primary payment method. Letters of credit (L/C) supported for orders above USD 25,000. Wise and PayPal for smaller transactions. USD-only quoting protects both parties from FX movement during quote validity and order execution.

Warranty and RMA

Every ICD part except consumables carries a warranty: 1 year included on drives, power supplies and other wear parts, 3 years included on CPUs, memory, networking and optics, and extendable up to 10 years. RMA flow: shared ticket thread, failure validation, authorized return, ICD-covered inbound freight for in-warranty claims to Cairo, replacement dispatched within 2-3 business days of receipt. Advance replacement under ICD Care+ maintenance contract.
