HPE DL380 GEN11 2LFF Prim Riser Cage KIT - P48823-B21

HPE P48823-B21 2LFF Primary Riser Cage Kit

Overview

The HPE P48823-B21 is the 2-large-form-factor (2LFF) primary riser cage kit for the ProLiant DL380 Gen11 rack server. If your DL380 Gen11 build requires expansion slot access via the primary riser position — whether for adding a PCIe card such as an HBA, NIC, or GPU — this cage provides the physical mounting structure that makes that possible. Without the correct riser cage installed, those PCIe slots are mechanically inaccessible regardless of what the motherboard supports. Weighing 3.75 lb, this is a direct factory replacement or build-time addition, not an aftermarket fabrication.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 platform. This is a generation-specific and position-specific component — it is not interchangeable with DL380 Gen10, Gen10 Plus, or other DL3xx form factors. Verify your chassis bay and riser position against HPE's DL380 Gen11 QuickSpecs before ordering: the Gen11 chassis distinguishes primary from secondary riser positions, and LFF vs SFF configurations use different cage assemblies. If your system is configured for small-form-factor (SFF) drives or requires a secondary riser slot, a different kit applies.

Installation Notes

Installation is a tool-assisted process within the DL380 Gen11 chassis. Follow HPE's maintenance and service guide for the DL380 Gen11 — proper seating of the riser cage is required before inserting any PCIe expansion cards. Confirm power is removed and anti-static precautions are observed before handling. Country of origin is BL/BR per distribution records. UNSPSC commodity code 43211600 (computer storage devices and accessories) applies for procurement and classification purposes.
