HPE 826694-B21 – PCIe Riser Kit

Overview

HPE 826694-B21 is a PCIe riser kit used in HPE ProLiant server platforms to provide additional or relocated PCIe expansion slots. It enables installation of add-in cards such as network adapters, storage controllers, or GPU accelerators depending on system configuration.

It is used in enterprise server environments where flexible PCIe expansion is required within rack-mounted systems. The riser design allows optimized internal layout for high-density compute configurations.

It is deployed in HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 and compatible server platforms where modular PCIe expansion is supported. Installation is performed during system build or hardware upgrade by qualified technicians.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

• PCIe expansion in HPE ProLiant servers
• Installation of NICs, HBAs, or GPUs
• Data center server upgrades and servicing
• High-density compute server configurations

Specifications

Compatibility / Ecosystem

Compatible with select HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server configurations supporting PCIe riser expansion. Compatibility depends on chassis type, processor configuration, and installed expansion requirements. It is part of the HPE modular server architecture enabling flexible PCIe device deployment.
