HP P26471-B21 Low Profile Riser Kit for Proliant Dl36x Gen10

Product Description

The HP P26471-B21 is a specialized Low Profile Riser Kit engineered specifically for the HP ProLiant DL360 Gen10 server. The ProLiant DL360 Gen10 is a 1U rack server known for its dense compute capabilities, which often means limited space for internal expansion cards. This riser kit is designed to overcome that limitation by providing a way to install additional PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) expansion cards within the server's constrained chassis. The 'Low Profile' aspect is critical; it means the riser board and any installed cards will fit within the height restrictions of the DL360 Gen10's internal design. Typically, riser kits provide one or more PCIe slots, often rotated or positioned to fit horizontally or vertically within the server case, allowing components like network interface cards (NICs), storage controllers, or other specialized adapters to be added. This particular kit is designed to ensure proper electrical connections and physical mounting for compatible cards. By utilizing the P26471-B21 riser kit, administrators can enhance the functionality and expand the capabilities of their HP ProLiant DL360 Gen10 servers without needing to upgrade to a larger server chassis. This is crucial for environments that require specific I/O configurations or need to add specialized hardware for networking, storage acceleration, or other processing tasks. It's an essential accessory for customizing the server's hardware configuration to meet specific workload demands.
