HPE 811271-B21 DL20 Gen9 GPU Enablement Kit

Brand:
HPE

HPE 811271-B21 is the GPU Enablement Kit for the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen9 server. It is the required GPU riser option for qualified GPU configurations and provides a PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height, half-length horizontal graphics-card mounting position. The kit is intended for organizations upgrading compatible DL20 Gen9 systems for GPU-accelerated workloads while retaining the compact 1U server platform. HPE documentation specifically identifies 811271-B21 as the GPU Enablement Kit and states that it is mandatory for supported GPU cards.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 811271-B21 is a dedicated GPU Enablement Kit for the ProLiant DL20 Gen9, adding the required riser hardware for qualified GPU installation. Compatibility: HPE DL20 Gen9 only; verify chassis and supported GPU configuration. Model comparison: this is the GPU-specific riser, unlike the DL20 Gen9 low-profile PCIe or FlexibleLOM riser options. 

USE CASES

  • GPU-enabled DL20 Gen9 servers – Adds the required hardware pathway for qualified GPU installation.
  • GPU-accelerated applications – Enables compatible DL20 Gen9 systems to accommodate supported graphics accelerators.
  • Visualization workloads – Provides the physical GPU mounting interface for supported professional graphics hardware.
  • Engineering and design applications – Helps extend an existing DL20 Gen9 server for compatible GPU-assisted workloads.
  • Video and graphics processing – Provides GPU installation capability where the supported hardware configuration permits it.
  • AI experimentation and development – Can provide a GPU-enabled hardware foundation for compatible workloads, subject to the supported GPU list and system limitations.
  • Server modernization – Allows eligible DL20 Gen9 systems to gain GPU capability without replacing the complete server platform.
  • System-integrator builds – Provides a specific HPE part number for GPU-enabled DL20 Gen9 configurations.
  • Replacement of failed GPU riser hardware – Useful when restoring GPU functionality in an existing compatible DL20 Gen9 deployment.

KEY FEATURES

  • DL20 Gen9-specific GPU Enablement Kit – Provides the correct HPE accessory for qualified GPU configurations.
  • PCIe 3.0 x16 GPU interface – Provides the required PCIe connectivity for supported graphics cards.
  • Full-height, half-length GPU support – Accommodates the specified physical graphics-card form factor.
  • Horizontal GPU mounting – Fits the DL20 Gen9's compact 1U chassis architecture.
  • Required for qualified GPU cards – HPE specifies that the GPU Enablement Kit is mandatory when installing a supported GPU.
  • Single GPU capability – HPE's DL20 Gen9 configuration documentation identifies support for up to one GPU.
  • Dedicated GPU riser design – Separates GPU expansion from other DL20 Gen9 riser choices for clearer configuration planning.
  • OEM-specific HPE part number – Simplifies procurement, compatibility checking and replacement sourcing.
  • Supports DL20 Gen9 platform expansion – Extends the functionality of an existing server without changing the base chassis.
