HPE 878214-B21 DL580 Gen10 7-Slot Primary PCIe Riser Kit

Brand:
HPE

HPE 878214-B21 is a 7-slot primary PCIe riser kit for the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10. It provides four PCIe 3.0 x8 slots and three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, giving enterprise IT teams substantial expansion capacity for compatible network, storage, accelerator, and I/O adapters. The riser occupies the DL580 Gen10 primary riser position and is an optional expansion component within the server's PCIe architecture.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 878214-B21 is an optional DL580 Gen10 7-slot primary PCIe riser providing four x8 and three x16 PCIe 3.0 positions for enterprise expansion. Compatibility: HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10. Model comparison: 872336-B21 provides six PCIe slots with NVMe support, while 878214-B21 prioritizes seven PCIe expansion positions.

USE CASES

  • Enterprise network expansion - Provides multiple PCIe positions for compatible network adapters and connectivity upgrades.
  • Storage controller deployment - Supports compatible PCIe storage controllers and HBAs requiring x8 or x16 connectivity.
  • GPU and accelerator configurations - Provides x16-capable positions for supported accelerator hardware, subject to the complete DL580 Gen10 configuration.
  • Virtualization infrastructure - Adds I/O capacity for hosts requiring multiple networking or storage adapters.
  • Database servers - Supports expansion-oriented configurations where additional high-bandwidth PCIe adapters are required.
  • High-performance computing - Provides multiple PCIe positions for compatible compute and accelerator hardware.
  • Data-center server expansion - Extends the I/O capability of a DL580 Gen10 without changing the server platform.
  • Server replacement and maintenance - Provides an exact HPE option for restoring a supported primary riser configuration.
  • Infrastructure standardization - Helps IT teams maintain consistent HPE-qualified DL580 Gen10 expansion configurations.

KEY FEATURES

  • 7 PCIe expansion slots - Provides seven positions for compatible PCIe adapters, maximizing primary-riser expansion capacity.
  • Four PCIe x8 slots - Offers multiple x8 positions for compatible networking, storage, and I/O adapters.
  • Three PCIe x16 slots - Provides higher-width PCIe positions for supported high-bandwidth adapters and accelerators.
  • PCIe 3.0 architecture - Matches the documented DL580 Gen10 PCIe expansion platform.
  • Full-height/full-length support on slots 1–4 - Accommodates compatible larger-form-factor PCIe cards in these positions.
  • ¾-length/full-height support on slots 5–7 - Provides additional expansion while accommodating supported shorter PCIe cards.
  • Primary riser placement - Uses the DL580 Gen10 primary expansion architecture for substantial server I/O capacity.
  • HPE-specific option - Exact option identification simplifies procurement, configuration matching, and lifecycle support.
