HPE ML30 GEN10+ GPU CBL KIT - P45216-B21

HPE P45216-B21 ML30 Gen10+ GPU Cable Kit

Overview

The HPE P45216-B21 is a factory-new GPU cable kit designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen10 Plus tower server. When adding a discrete GPU to an ML30 Gen10+ — whether for edge inference workloads, video analytics acceleration, or compute-intensive applications — the internal power routing requires a dedicated cable assembly that the base server configuration does not include. This kit supplies that missing link, enabling proper GPU power delivery without improvising with non-validated cabling.

Compatibility

Designed for the HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen10 Plus tower server (P44720-B21 and related ML30 Gen10+ SKUs). This kit is specific to the Gen10 Plus platform — it is not interchangeable with ML30 Gen10 (non-Plus) or other ProLiant tower families such as the ML110 or ML350. Verify your server's generation and chassis revision before ordering. If you are expanding your server infrastructure with GPU-accelerated nodes, confirm the GPU option kit requirements in the ML30 Gen10+ QuickSpecs to ensure all required cable and riser components are accounted for.

Installation Notes

Install with the server powered down and disconnected from mains. Route the cable assembly per the ML30 Gen10+ maintenance guide — HPE tower servers use guided cable channels to prevent interference with airflow baffles. Ensure the GPU is seated fully in the PCIe slot before connecting the power cable. Do not force connectors; the ML30 Gen10+ uses keyed internal power headers. Refer to the HPE power supply capacity of your specific ML30 Gen10+ build to confirm the installed PSU supports the additional GPU TDP before commissioning.
