HPE P48407-B21 4x8 Secondary Riser Kit For ProLiant Ml350 Gen11

Product Description

The HPE P48407-B21 is a Secondary Riser Kit specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 server. The ProLiant ML350 Gen11 is a versatile tower server that offers significant expandability options. Riser kits are essential components that allow for the installation of Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) expansion cards, such as network adapters, storage controllers, or GPUs, into the server chassis. This particular kit is designated as 'Secondary', indicating it works in conjunction with a primary riser or provides additional expansion capabilities beyond the main slots. The '4x8' specification refers to the types of PCIe slots available on the riser board. This typically means it supports four PCIe slots that can accommodate cards of various lengths, with at least one slot being a PCIe x8 physical slot (and potentially supporting x4 or x1 cards as well). This configuration provides flexibility for installing a range of different expansion cards, allowing administrators to customize the server's I/O capabilities to meet specific application requirements. The riser ensures that these cards are properly seated, powered, and connected to the server's motherboard. This Secondary Riser Kit is crucial for maximizing the potential of the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 server, enabling it to serve a wider array of roles, from general-purpose computing to more specialized tasks requiring additional hardware acceleration or connectivity. It is a key component for businesses looking to scale their infrastructure and adapt their server hardware to evolving needs.
