HPE DL580 Gen10 8-Slot 6 x8/2 x16 2-Port 4 NVMe Slimline Secondary Riser Kit
Engineered for high-demand enterprise data centers, the HPE DL580 Gen10 8-Slot Slimline Secondary Riser Kit redefines expansion flexibility in a 4U, rack-mountable server. This riser kit is purpose-built to maximize bandwidth, storage throughput, and I/O density in the DL580 Gen10 platform, enabling administrators to scale workloads such as virtualization, databases, AI inference, and analytics without compromising airflow or serviceability. The slimline design minimizes chassis intrusion and cable clutter, helping keep critical airflow channels open for optimal thermals while preserving easy access for routine maintenance. With a configuration that supports 6 PCIe lanes operating at x8 and 2 lanes at x16 across eight slots, this kit delivers a balanced path for both compute-heavy accelerators and fast NVMe storage so that peak performance remains within reach even in dense rack environments. This makes it an excellent upgrade path for organizations looking to refresh their storage tier, accelerate virtual machines, or deploy high-speed NVMe-backed boot and data volumes in a scalable, future-ready DL580 Gen10 system.
- Optimized 8-slot expansion designed for the DL580 Gen10, configuration supports 6 x8 lanes and 2 x16 lanes to deliver scalable bandwidth across multiple PCIe devices, enabling flexible mixes of NVMe storage, GPUs, and accelerators.
- 4 NVMe-capable slimline risers provide high-speed NVMe connectivity through compact, streamlined connectors, unlocking rapid read/write performance for databases, analytics workloads, and large-scale virtualization environments.
- Slimline, tool-free serviceability reduces downtime and simplifies field upgrades in busy data centers. The compact footprint preserves chassis space while maintaining sturdy electrical and mechanical engagement with the motherboard.
- Dual-port flexibility and reliability supports multiple expansion paths, enabling high-availability configurations, failover-friendly layouts, and balanced I/O for enterprise deployments that require steady throughput under load.
- Designed for seamless HP ecosystem integration with the DL580 Gen10, ensuring firmware compatibility, access to HP management tools, and streamlined integration with iLO, OneView, and other enterprise-grade management solutions for easier lifecycle management.

how to install HPE DL580 Gen10 8-Slot 6 x8/2 x16 2-Port 4 NVMe Slimline Secondary Riser Kit
- Power down the server, unplug all power cords, and discharge static by grounding yourself before handling any internal components.
- Remove the server cover and locate the expansion riser slots that correspond to the DL580 Gen10 motherboard or backplane interfaces.
- Align the Slimline Secondary Riser Kit with the riser headers, ensuring that the connectors seat fully and the retaining hardware aligns with mounting points in the chassis.
- Secure the riser kit to the chassis using the provided screws or captive fasteners, then attach the NVMe devices to the slimline risers according to the hardware guide and the server’s storage topology.
- Reconnect any necessary cables, verify that there is no obstruction to airflow, reinstall the server cover, and power on. Enter the system firmware or management interface to confirm that all risers and NVMe devices are detected and configured correctly.
- Update to the latest server firmware if required, configure NVMe devices in the operating system or hypervisor, and validate performance with representative workloads to ensure bandwidth and I/O are functioning as intended.
