how to install HPE DL560 Gen10 2-Port 4 NVMe Slimline Tertiary Riser Kit

Installing the HPE DL560 Gen10 2-Port 4 NVMe Slimline Tertiary Riser Kit is a straightforward upgrade path designed to minimize downtime and maximize storage performance. Follow these steps carefully to ensure proper fit, alignment, and operation within your DL560 Gen10 server.

  • Preparation: Power down the server completely, unplug all power cords, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge. Remove the server from its rack if required and open the chassis according to your data center procedures. Have the 2-port 4 NVMe Slimline Tertiary Riser Kit and any required screws or mounting hardware ready.
  • Access the tertiary riser bay: Locate the tertiary riser slot area in the DL560 Gen10 configuration. This is typically positioned in the rear of the server where expansion risers connect to the backplane. Ensure you have unobstructed access for installation and airflow is not impeded by any cables or tools.
  • Remove existing components (if applicable): If a previous riser or backplane module occupies the same slot, carefully detach it following your server’s service guidelines. Retain any necessary connectors for reuse with the new riser kit, and keep screws organized for reassembly.
  • Install the riser kit: Align the HPE DL560 Gen10 2-Port 4 NVMe Slimline Tertiary Riser Kit with the riser slot, ensuring that connectors mate cleanly with the backplane and motherboard interfaces. Gently press the module into place until fully seated, then secure it with the appropriate screws or fasteners provided with the kit.
  • Connect NVMe drives or backplane interfaces: Attach the NVMe drive interfaces or backplane cables to the riser kit as required by your DL560 Gen10 configuration. Ensure connectors are fully seated and routed to avoid interference with fans or other components. Maintain proper cable management for airflow optimization.
  • Reassemble and power on: Replace any covers or panels, slide the server back into the rack, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the system BIOS or firmware management interface to verify that the new riser kit is recognized and that the four NVMe drive paths appear as expected.
  • Firmware and validation: Check for the latest firmware updates for the riser kit and related NVMe components. Perform a storage initialization if required, configure drive visibility in the OS, and run baseline storage tests to validate performance and stability.
  • Operational verification: Within the operating system, confirm NVMe drive discovery, hot-plug compatibility if supported by your environment, and ensure that monitoring tools report healthy SMART data and expected performance metrics. Document the upgrade for future maintenance records.
