How to install HPE DL580 Gen10 7-Slot 4 x8/3 x16 Primary Riser Kit

Follow these steps to install the HPE DL580 Gen10 7-Slot 4 x8/3 x16 Primary Riser Kit and maximize your server’s PCIe expansion potential. This guide assumes you are working with an supported HPE DL580 Gen10 chassis and have basic server maintenance experience. Always refer to official service manuals for your exact model and firmware requirements.

  • Power down the server, unplug all power sources, and follow your data center’s safety procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge.
  • Open the server chassis and locate the existing PCIe riser or expansion backplane area. Remove any covers or obstructing components as needed to access the riser bay.
  • Carefully align the HPE DL580 Gen10 7-slot primary riser with the motherboard backplane connectors. Ensure that the connectors sit evenly and that the latch or locking mechanism is ready to secure the card.
  • Insert the riser straight and firmly but gently, ensuring full seating of the connectors. Engage any retention screws or latches to lock the riser in place and prevent movement during operation.
  • Reconnect any necessary riser-to-backplane cables or services per your server’s documentation. Double-check that all cables are routed for proper airflow and do not interfere with fans or other components.
  • Reinstall the chassis cover, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the system BIOS/UEFI to verify that all seven PCIe slots are recognized and that the lane mapping corresponds to four x8 and three x16 devices as intended.
  • Update firmware and drivers as required. Apply the latest BIOS, chipset, and PCIe driver updates from HPE or your server management interface to ensure compatibility with installed PCIe devices and to optimize performance and reliability.
  • Power-on self-test (POST) should complete normally. If any PCIe devices are not detected, reseat the riser and devices, verify device compatibility, and consult the server’s diagnostic tools for troubleshooting guidance.
  • Document the new hardware configuration for asset management and future maintenance. Consider running a stress test on the new expansion configuration to confirm stability under your expected workloads.
