HPE DL380 G11 2U Sec/tert NEBS Riser KIT - P48806-B21

HPE P48806-B21 2U Secondary/Tertiary NEBS Riser Kit

Overview

The HPE P48806-B21 is a riser kit designed to expand PCIe slot capacity in the secondary and tertiary positions of a 2U rack-mounted server. NEBS (Network Equipment Building System) compliance makes this riser appropriate for carrier-grade and telecommunications deployments where strict environmental and mechanical standards apply — not just standard enterprise data center installations. If you are building out a DL380 Gen11 for a telecom edge site or central office environment, P48806-B21 is the riser component that satisfies those requirements rather than a standard non-NEBS alternative.

Compatibility

This riser kit is designed for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U rack server platform. It occupies the secondary and/or tertiary riser positions within that chassis. Do not attempt to install this component in DL380 Gen10 or earlier generations — HPE Gen11 chassis geometry and riser connector positions differ from prior generations. Confirm your DL380 Gen11 configuration guide against your existing riser population before ordering; if the primary riser slot is already filled, this kit addresses the remaining expansion positions.

Installation Notes

Install into a 2U rack server chassis following HPE's DL380 Gen11 maintenance and service guide — power down and discharge the system fully before handling any riser assembly. NEBS-rated installations may require additional mechanical retention per site guidelines. Country of origin spans multiple manufacturing sites (BR, CN, CZ, JP, MX, SG, US); verify your procurement compliance requirements before purchase if country-of-origin documentation is needed for your project.
