HPE P70287-B21 GPU Kit
Overview
The HPE P70287-B21 is a GPU enablement kit designed to integrate specific graphics processing units into compatible HPE server platforms. This kit addresses the need for enhanced computational power in environments requiring accelerated processing, such as AI inference, machine learning workloads, or high-performance computing tasks within a server chassis. It facilitates the physical and electrical integration of a GPU into the server's architecture, ensuring proper mounting and connectivity. The model number P70287-B21 is key for verifying compatibility with your existing server infrastructure.
Compatibility
This kit is specifically designed for HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 servers configured with a 4SFF (Small Form Factor) drive bay layout, supporting X2 OCP (Open Compute Project) mezzanine cards and a standard server backplane. It is not a standalone GPU but an adapter kit. Verify your server's exact configuration, including the presence of the X2 OCP slot and the specific backplane type, before ordering.
Installation Notes
Installation requires opening the server chassis and may involve removing existing components to accommodate the GPU and the kit. Ensure the server is powered down and properly grounded before proceeding. Torque specifications for mounting screws, if provided by HPE for the server chassis, should be followed to prevent damage. The kit facilitates the connection of the GPU to the server's power and PCIe bus.
