HPE DL385 GEN11 GPU Blank KIT - P82523-B21

HPE P82523-B21 GPU Blank Kit

Overview

The HPE P82523-B21 is a GPU blank kit designed to fill an unused PCIe slot in specific HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server configurations. This kit ensures proper airflow and thermal management within the chassis when a GPU is not installed, preventing overheating and maintaining system stability. It is essential for maintaining the integrity of the server's cooling system in environments where GPU expansion is planned but not yet implemented.

Compatibility

This blank kit is specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server platform. It is intended to occupy a PCIe slot that would otherwise be used for a GPU, ensuring that the server's internal thermal dynamics are maintained as designed by HPE. Compatibility is limited to the DL385 Gen11 series.

Installation Notes

Installation involves securing the blanking plate into an available PCIe slot on the server's motherboard. The kit provides a physical barrier to direct airflow, ensuring that cooling fans can effectively manage the thermal load of the remaining components. No special tools are typically required beyond standard server maintenance equipment.
