Description

The HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen12 GPU Upgrade Kit (P81677-B21) is an accelerator enablement option engineered to expand GPU capacity within HPE's 4U AI-optimised DL380a Gen12 server platform. Supporting up to 16 single-wide GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA L4) or up to 10 double-wide GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA H200, H100 NVL, L40S, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell), this kit is purpose-built for enterprises deploying large-scale AI inferencing and compute-intensive workloads. PCIe Gen5 I/O ensures maximum throughput between processors and accelerators, while compatibility with Intel Xeon 6 processors (up to 144 cores) makes it ideal for next-generation AI infrastructure builds.

This upgrade kit integrates seamlessly with the DL380a Gen12 three-power-domain architecture for reliable GPU power delivery, and supports Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) configurations for thermally demanding deployments. Note that mixing different GPU models within the same system is not supported. Order today from iptrading.com.au — Australia's IT hardware specialists.

FAQs

Q: What server platform is this GPU Upgrade Kit compatible with?
A: The P81677-B21 GPU Upgrade Kit is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 server (4U, 2-processor chassis). It is not validated for use with other ProLiant server generations.

Q: How many GPUs can be installed using this upgrade kit?
A: The kit supports up to 16 single-wide GPUs (such as the NVIDIA L4) or up to 10 double-wide GPUs (such as the NVIDIA H200, H100 NVL, L40S, or RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition). Double-wide configurations can be 2, 4, or 8 GPUs depending on the configuration.

Q: Can I mix different GPU models in the same DL380a Gen12 system?
A: No. HPE does not support mixing different GPU models within the same DL380a Gen12 system. All installed GPUs must be of the same model for validated operation.

Q: Does this kit support Direct Liquid Cooling?
A: Yes. The GPU Upgrade Kit is compatible with Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) configurations on the DL380a Gen12 platform, making it suitable for high-density, thermally demanding AI deployments.

Q: What processors are compatible with this GPU upgrade configuration?
A: The kit is compatible with Intel Xeon 6 processors, which can scale up to 144 cores, providing the compute headroom required for large-scale AI inferencing workloads alongside high GPU counts.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen12 GPU Upgrade Kit (P81677-B21) in Australia?
A: Yes. iptrading.com.au stocks HPE server accessories and upgrade kits including the P81677-B21 for Australian businesses. Contact our team for pricing, availability, and configuration assistance tailored to your AI infrastructure project.
