HPE 872253-B21 DL560 Gen10 Tertiary Riser Kit
Overview
The HPE 872253-B21 is a tertiary riser kit for the ProLiant DL560 Gen10 server, providing dual x8 PCIe expansion slots to support additional I/O cards in high-density compute or storage expansion scenarios. When the primary and secondary risers in a DL560 Gen10 are already populated, this kit opens up a third expansion zone — useful when provisioning additional HBAs, 10/25GbE NICs, or accelerator cards in a fully configured 4-socket node.
Compatibility
Designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 platform. This riser is specific to the Gen10 chassis architecture — it is not interchangeable with DL560 Gen9 or other ProLiant generations. Verify against HPE's QuickSpecs for the DL560 Gen10 before ordering to confirm slot availability and PCIe lane allocation with your current riser and CPU configuration.
Installation Notes
Weighs 1.36 lb. Installation requires access to the DL560 Gen10 chassis interior; follow HPE's service documentation for riser seating and retention latch engagement to ensure proper PCIe bus contact. No additional power connectors are typically required for the riser board itself — power draw depends on the cards installed into it.
