HPE P55097-B21 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The HPE P55097-B21 is a 2U rack-mountable riser kit designed to provide additional expansion slots within compatible HPE ProLiant servers. This component is crucial for integrating specialized hardware, such as network interface cards, storage controllers, or other PCIe-based peripherals, into a 2U server chassis without requiring a larger form factor. Its specific design ensures a clean integration and proper airflow management within the server's internal architecture.

Compatibility

This riser kit is specifically engineered for integration into HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 servers. It provides the necessary physical mounting points and electrical connections for PCIe devices within the server's 2U chassis. Ensure your server model supports the installation of this specific riser configuration for proper functionality.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis and seating the riser board into the designated motherboard connectors. Proper handling of static-sensitive components is advised. The kit is designed to fit within the standard 2U height constraints of the compatible HPE ProLiant servers, ensuring no external chassis modifications are needed. The dimensions of 6.75 x 15.51 x 11.26 inches (L x W x H) are critical for internal bay fitment.
