HP 869342-001-RFB PCI Express Riser Card for Proliant DL380/DL560 Gen10 Server

Description

The HP 869342-001-RFB is a crucial expansion component for select HP ProLiant Gen10 servers, specifically the DL380 and DL560 models. This riser card allows for the installation of additional PCI Express (PCIe) peripherals, thereby expanding the server's functionality and connectivity options. In dense server environments like those found in enterprise data centers, riser cards are essential for maximizing the utilization of available space and providing the necessary interfaces for specialized hardware. This particular unit is designated as 'RFB', indicating that it is a refurbished product. Refurbished components have been previously used, inspected, repaired if necessary, and tested to ensure they meet original performance standards. This makes them a cost-effective solution for replacing faulty parts or for expanding existing server configurations without the premium cost of new hardware. The riser card itself provides the physical mounting points and electrical connections for PCIe cards, ensuring they are properly seated and powered within the server. By offering additional PCIe slots, the 869342-001-RFB enables server administrators to add network interface cards, storage controllers, graphics accelerators, or other PCIe-based hardware. This flexibility is vital for adapting server infrastructure to evolving application demands and performance requirements. As an official HP part, it is designed to integrate seamlessly with the server's motherboard and chassis, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
