HPE P48901-B21 Riser Kit

Overview

The HPE P48901-B21 is a Full-Height (FH) PCIe riser kit designed to expand the expansion card capabilities of compatible HPE ProLiant server platforms. This kit provides an additional PCIe x16 slot, enabling the integration of higher-bandwidth devices such as specialized network cards, GPUs, or storage controllers where the base chassis configuration is insufficient. It is engineered for environments requiring maximum I/O density within a compact server footprint.

Compatibility

This riser kit is specifically designed for HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 servers. It provides a standard PCIe Gen5 x16 slot, accommodating a wide range of full-height adapter cards. Always verify specific server model compatibility with HPE documentation to ensure proper fit and function.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis and seating the riser board into the designated slot. The kit includes necessary components for mounting the riser. Ensure the server is powered down and all safety precautions for handling server hardware are followed. The dimensions are 10.60 x 12.60 x 2.50 inches (L x W x H), which dictates the physical space required within the server chassis. Weight is 1.30 lbs.
