P51083-B21 HPE DL380 Gen11 x16/x16/x16 Secondary Riser Kit
P51083‑B21 is a secondary PCIe riser expansion kit designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U rack server. It adds three full‑bandwidth PCIe 5.0 x16 slots to extend high‑speed I/O capabilities for GPUs, high‑performance NICs, NVMe storage adapters, and other enterprise expansion cards. This kit is intended for deployments requiring dense, high‑performance PCIe expansion beyond the primary riser.
- Three PCIe 5.0 x16 Slots: Delivers full 32 GT/s per‑lane bandwidth for next‑generation expansion cards
- Slot Configuration:
- Slot 4: PCIe 5.0 x16, Full‑Height, Full‑Length (FHFL)
- Slot 5: PCIe 5.0 x16, Full‑Height, Full‑Length (FHFL)
- Slot 6: PCIe 5.0 x16, Full‑Height, Half‑Length (FHHL)
- Secondary Riser Position: Installed in the secondary riser bay, routed to the second CPU (CPU 2) — requires a second processor to be installed
- Cable‑Dependent Slot Enablement:
- Slot 4 is disabled by default; requires the P56074‑B21 Secondary 3x16 Cable Kit to activate
- Without the cable kit, only Slots 5 and 6 are functional
- Tool‑Less Installation: Designed for quick, hot‑swap compatible deployment in DL380 Gen11 chassis
- Optimized Airflow: Engineered to maintain server cooling efficiency with high‑power add‑in cards
- Server Platform: HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U Rack Server only
- Processor Requirement: Dual CPU configuration mandatory (CPU 2 must be present)
- Required Accessory: P56074‑B21 Secondary 3x16 Cable Kit (to enable Slot 4)
- Primary Riser Pairing: Complements the primary riser (P48803‑B21) for a total of up to six PCIe 5.0 x16 slots
