HPE Apollo 4500 x16 I/O Module Kit | 855128-B21

Brand:
HPE

HPE 855128-B21 is an Apollo 4500 x16 I/O Module Kit designed for the HPE Apollo 4520 configuration. The module provides one x16 PCIe slot and three x8 PCIe slots, giving each supported XL450 Gen9 server node additional PCIe expansion capability for networking, storage controllers, InfiniBand, and accelerator options.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 855128-B21 is the Apollo 4500 x16 I/O Module Kit, an I/O expansion option for the Apollo 4520 platform. It provides one x16 and three x8 PCIe slots for supported networking, storage, InfiniBand, and accelerator configurations. Compatibility: HPE Apollo 4520 / supported XL450 Gen9 configuration. Model comparison: 855128-B21 provides x16 I/O expansion; 855129-B21 is the Apollo 4500 x8 I/O Module. Verify the exact node and PCIe requirements before ordering.

USE CASES

  • Apollo 4520 PCIe expansion: Adds the documented PCIe slot configuration to supported Apollo 4520 systems.
  • InfiniBand networking: Provides PCIe expansion for supported InfiniBand adapters; HPE documentation specifically associates the x16 I/O module with EDR InfiniBand configurations. 
  • High-speed network adapter deployment: Creates additional PCIe expansion capacity for supported networking adapters.
  • Storage controller installation: Provides PCIe slots for compatible storage controllers where the Apollo configuration permits them.
  • HPC infrastructure: Supports PCIe-based connectivity options in Apollo systems designed for high-performance workloads.
  • Accelerator expansion: Provides PCIe slots that can be used for supported accelerator options, subject to the server's configuration rules.
  • Apollo 4520 upgrades: Useful when additional PCIe expansion is required in an existing supported configuration.
  • Data center configuration: Helps infrastructure teams build a more flexible Apollo 4520 I/O architecture.
  • BOM and factory configuration: Provides a specific HPE option for planning Apollo 4520 configurations.
  • Lifecycle replacement: Gives procurement teams an exact OEM part number for replacement or spare inventory.

KEY FEATURES

  • x16 I/O module design: Provides the documented Apollo 4500 x16 I/O expansion option for supported configurations.
  • One x16 PCIe slot: Gives compatible high-bandwidth PCIe devices access to an x16 slot.
  • Three x8 PCIe slots: Adds three additional x8 PCIe expansion positions for supported adapters.
  • Apollo 4520 support: HPE identifies this module as supported in the Apollo 4520 model, helping buyers avoid incorrect platform selection. 
  • XL450 Gen9 integration: Supports PCIe expansion within the XL450 Gen9 server architecture used in Apollo 4500 systems.
  • Networking and InfiniBand flexibility: Supports compatible PCIe-based network and fabric adapters within the platform's slot limitations.
  • Storage expansion potential: Provides additional PCIe positions for supported storage controllers.
  • HPE OEM part number: 855128-B21 simplifies procurement, BOM preparation, inventory management, and replacement sourcing.
