HPE DL380 GEN10+ 2P Slimsas Tertiary KIT - P27093-B21

HPE P27093-B21 ProLiant DL380 Gen10+ 2P SlimSAS Tertiary Riser Kit

Overview

The HPE P27093-B21 is a SlimSAS tertiary riser kit designed for ProLiant DL380 Gen10+ servers configured with dual processors. When your DL380 Gen10+ build requires additional PCIe expansion beyond the primary and secondary riser positions — common in dense storage or multi-NIC deployments — this kit provides the tertiary slot needed to fully populate the chassis. At 0.45 lb, it ships as a discrete add-in component rather than a pre-installed option, making it the correct path for field upgrades or configure-to-order gap-fills on existing 2P DL380 Gen10+ installations. Pair it with the broader HPE server accessory catalog when speccing out full riser configurations.

Compatibility

This kit is specific to the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10+ platform in dual-processor (2P) configurations. It is not interchangeable with DL380 Gen10 (non-Plus) risers, single-processor chassis builds, or other ProLiant families such as the DL360 or DL385. Verify your server's chassis revision and processor population before ordering — Gen10+ introduced revised riser geometry and SlimSAS backplane routing that differs from the prior Gen10 design. If you are sourcing components for a rack server build, confirm the tertiary slot is unpopulated and that your system board supports the tertiary riser position under the target processor count. UNSPSC 43211600 classifies this as a computer hardware component.

Installation Notes

Installation requires access to the DL380 Gen10+ riser cage area with the server powered down and removed from the rack. Follow HPE's standard ESD precautions — SlimSAS connectors are sensitive to static discharge. Consult the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10+ Maintenance and Service Guide for riser seating torque and retention clip engagement specific to the tertiary position. No additional cabling is typically included; verify whether SlimSAS data cables are required separately based on your target PCIe card.
