Does it come with any ports or transceivers?

No. The switch has two empty module slots, so you add the port modules and transceivers you need separately.

It is a top-of-rack data-center switch, aggregating 10GbE servers and uplinking at 40GbE to a core or spine.

Can it be stacked with other units?

Yes. It supports HP IRF stacking, so several units can act as one logical switch for redundancy.

No. It is rack-mounted, loud, and needs a trained admin; a small fanless or fixed-port switch fits an office better.

Check the specific unit: the 5940 series uses modular power supplies and fan trays, and some configurations ship without them.
