Quick Take
Quick Take: Do not freeze a 2026 Dell Connectrix 偏离表 on Dell Floor alone. If the target net sits below Floor, write a Cost Relief (CR) line from Brocade/Broadcom. CR is not a PID and does not add 64G ports. PoD is another H1. Split 13% VAT special-invoice rows on hardware / support years that are actually quoted — the 专票 does not replace CR. TAOHAN maps equal 政企 briefs in 1 business day. Channel net pending confirmation.
What is Cost Relief on a Connectrix 偏离表?
Quick Answer: CR is Cost Relief. Treat Dell Floor as the lowest ticket the hotel front desk can print from its own system. Cost Relief is brand HQ covering part of that ticket so this project can print lower. It is not a room type. It is not a SKU. Put it on the 偏离表 as a commercial field.
Typical scene: a 64G dense Connectrix pack — DS-7730B class, ports and optics already frozen — comes back with a Floor note. The target net sits below Floor. Someone pastes “CR” into the SKU column of the 标书. That pack will not book. Write three rows: Floor, target versus Floor, Cost Relief yes or no. That is a typical 政企 bid-pack failure, not a named customer.
Dell sells Connectrix. The switch silicon and FOS family are Brocade (Broadcom). Floor is an OEM quote-system limit. Cost Relief is a project-specific extra cost cut from the switch vendor so the OEM can go below Floor. Recheck any quote older than 15 days. List, Floor dollars, and booked nets stay off this page. Channel net pending confirmation.
- Fit: Open Connectrix RFQs that named CR without saying Cost Relief; packs that treated Floor as the PO price; below-Floor targets with no vendor-relief flag; mixed PoD + CR on one 偏离表 line.
- Unfit: A how-to for filing or winning a CR approval; a PoD vs full-port decoder; a Gen 7 or Gen 8 PID map; MDS vs FOS bake-off; writing a domestic 信创 fabric as a certified Connectrix substitute part number.
Floor, Cost Relief, 专票 — keep the columns
Quick Answer: Floor is OEM-printable off. CR is vendor Cost Relief so the OEM can go below Floor. 13% VAT special invoice is a tax line. PoD is not CR. Empty cells are honest. Invented CR SKUs are not.
| 偏离表 row | Who sets it | What it is | RFQ action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dell Floor | Dell quote system | Deepest off the OEM can print without extra vendor relief | Copy the Floor note if printed. Do not paste it into the net cell. |
| Cost Relief (CR) | Brocade / Broadcom on the project | Extra vendor cost cut so the OEM can book below Floor | Yes / no / already requested in writing. Not a PID. |
| Target net vs Floor | This bid | At Floor / below Floor. No public dollars | Own field. A blended cell cannot open a 专票. |
| 13% VAT 专票 | China invoice | Tax split on quoted SKUs | Split hardware years vs support years. Does not replace CR. |
| Ports on Demand | License SKU family | Adds licensed ports. Other H1. | Do not use CR to buy missing 64G ports. |
If Floor is enough for the target, say so. Do not invent a CR request to look aggressive. If Floor is not enough, an empty CR cell that implies “the OEM will just print it” is the trap. Recheck any quote older than 15 days. Channel net pending confirmation.
What this page is not
Quick Answer: Not a CR-approval playbook. Not Ports on Demand. Not the Gen 7 or Gen 8 OEM map. Not MDS versus Connectrix. Not a public % OFF table. Not a 信创 certified substitute.
A 报备 leftover that still covers last year's Connectrix year does not automatically cover this week's below-Floor target. 现货 is its own field after the orderable pack. A mixed Floor/CR cell cannot open a 13% VAT special invoice. This page does not publish Floor dollars or booked nets.
Typical use cases: who must act this week?
Quick Answer: Act if this week's Connectrix 标书 names CR as a SKU, treats Floor as the PO price, or sits below Floor with no relief flag. Do not wait for a fake CR PID. Dual-box still means two hardware bases if a spare chassis is quoted.
Typical scene: finance already approved a Floor-level number. The 标书 lands with a lower target. Someone pastes CR into the SKU column because a channel sheet used that abbreviation. That PO comes back. Keep Floor as the OEM-printable limit. Put Cost Relief on its own 偏离表 row. Split 13% VAT on hardware / support years, not on a blended “Connectrix” line.
- Below-Floor target: write CR yes/no and whether it was requested in writing. Empty is honest.
- Floor already covers the target: do not open a CR file to decorate the 偏离表.
- CR pasted as a PID: strike it. Put Cost Relief on the commercial row.
- PoD mixed in: missing ports stay on the PoD page. Do not buy ports with CR language.
- 专票 mixed with CR: tax is not vendor relief. Split 13% on quoted years.
Buyer decision matrix
Quick Answer: If target sits at or above Floor, book against Floor. If target sits below Floor, freeze a Cost Relief flag before ranking quotes. If you do not know Floor, stop ranking. Split 13% VAT on the class you actually quote.
| Situation | List posture | 偏离表 ask |
|---|---|---|
| Target at or above Dell Floor | OEM-printable | Copy Floor note. CR cell = not required. 13% VAT on those years. |
| Target below Floor, CR already requested in writing | Pending vendor relief | Keep the written flag. Do not invent a CR SKU. Net pending confirmation. |
| Target below Floor, no CR line | Incomplete | Add Cost Relief yes/no. Do not treat Floor as the booked net. |
| CR written in the SKU column | Mis-typed commercial path | Move CR to the commercial row. Freeze the real BOM. |
| PoD ports still missing | License gap | Use the PoD sibling page. CR does not add ports. |
How do you freeze Floor vs Cost Relief on one 偏离表?
Quick Answer: Copy Floor note, below-Floor flag, CR yes/no, model class, port/optic brief, support years, leftover 报备 expiry, and a 13% VAT split. Review target is 1 business day. No public net.
- Step 1 — Write Dell Floor — Own field. Empty is honest. Do not paste Floor into net.
- Step 2 — Flag target versus Floor — At / below. Keep dollars off the public page.
- Step 3 — Name Cost Relief yes or no — Brocade/Broadcom project Cost Relief. Ask if it was already requested in writing.
- Step 4 — Keep PoD off this line — Missing 64G ports are a license problem, other H1.
- Step 5 — Freeze the BOM first — DS-7730B class or peer, port count, optic speed, airflow, support years. Write leftover 报备 expiry beside today's years.
- Step 6 — Split 13% VAT — Hardware years vs support years. The 专票 does not replace Cost Relief. Dual-path MDS stays on the compare page.

Common RFQ pitfalls when CR shows up on a Connectrix 偏离表
Quick Answer: Buyers lose calendar when they treat CR as a PID, Floor as the PO price, PoD as Cost Relief, or 13% VAT as vendor relief. Keep the columns. Do not ask this page how to game vendor approvals.
- CR in the SKU column: it is Cost Relief, not a transceiver.
- Floor pasted as net: Floor is OEM-printable off, not the booked price.
- Below Floor with a blank CR cell: incomplete pack.
- PoD mixed with CR: ports are a license H1.
- 13% VAT on a blended line: split hardware years vs support years. The 专票 is not CR.
- Old 报备 covers below-Floor: 报备 follows today's years, not a mixed cell.
- Public % OFF table: this page will not print one. Pending confirmation.
- This page as a CR-approval playbook: it is not.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. CR is Brocade/Broadcom project Cost Relief. It is not a PID, not a transceiver, and not a support year. It only decides whether an OEM quote can book below Dell Floor. Write it as a 偏离表 commercial field. Channel net and 13% VAT special-invoice amounts stay pending confirmation.
No. PoD is a port-license product. Cost Relief does not add 64G ports. Keep PoD on the sibling licensing page. Mixing them on one 偏离表 line hides both gates. Split 13% VAT on the SKU that is actually quoted.
No. Floor is the deepest off the OEM system can print without extra vendor Cost Relief. If the target net sits below Floor, freeze a CR yes/no field on the 偏离表. Do not treat Floor as the booked net. Pending confirmation.
No. The 专票 is a tax line. Cost Relief is vendor project relief. Two fields. Split 13% VAT on hardware / support years that are actually quoted — not on a blended “Connectrix” cell.

References
Quick Answer: Use Dell Connectrix B-Series public family sheets and Broadcom Fibre Channel switch pages to confirm the model class. Cost Relief is not printed as a customer SKU on those sheets. Recheck any quote older than 15 days.
Key Takeaway

CR is Brocade/Broadcom project Cost Relief, not a SKU and not Ports on Demand. Split 13% VAT on quoted years — the 专票 does not replace CR.
