Description

The HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen12 Slot 3 PCIe Riser Kit expands I/O capacity in the DL345 Gen12 2U single-socket AMD EPYC server platform, enabling installation of additional PCIe adapters, GPUs, and accelerators at the Slot 3 position. This riser kit is a mandatory prerequisite before installing the Slot 1/2 Riser Kit (P81905-B21) or the Slot 4/5 Riser Kit (P81906-B21), making it the foundation for comprehensive PCIe expansion in workloads such as virtualisation, software-defined storage, and data-intensive computing.

Designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen12 platform, this kit is compatible with the server's PCIe Gen5 architecture and supports flexible I/O configuration to meet evolving infrastructure demands. Note that Slot 3 placement restrictions apply when 8SFF drive cages are combined with CPUs exceeding 300W, and this kit is not compatible with the DL345 Gen12 24SFF x4 NVMe Direct Attach FIO Bundle Kit (P81929-B21).

FAQs

Q: What server is the HPE P81904-B21 Slot 3 Riser Kit compatible with?
A: This riser kit is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL345 Gen12 server. It is not intended for other ProLiant generations or platforms.

Q: Is the Slot 3 Riser Kit required before installing other riser kits in the DL345 Gen12?
A: Yes. The Slot 3 Riser Kit (P81904-B21) is a mandatory prerequisite for the Slot 1/2 Riser Kit (P81905-B21) and the Slot 4/5 Riser Kit (P81906-B21). It must be installed first to enable full PCIe expansion.

Q: Are there any configuration restrictions I should be aware of?
A: Yes. Slot 3 placement restrictions apply when 8SFF drive cages are used with CPUs above 300W. Additionally, this kit is not compatible with the DL345 Gen12 24SFF x4 NVMe Direct Attach FIO Bundle Kit (P81929-B21).

Q: What types of cards or devices can be installed at the Slot 3 position?
A: Once installed, Slot 3 supports PCIe adapters, GPUs, accelerators, and other expansion cards suited to the DL345 Gen12's PCIe Gen5 architecture, making it ideal for virtualisation, AI/ML acceleration, and storage-intensive workloads.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE P81904-B21 in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller with local stock and support for HPE server accessories including the DL345 Gen12 riser kits.

Q: Does this riser kit include any PCIe cards or adapters?
A: No. The P81904-B21 is a riser kit only — it provides the mechanical and electrical infrastructure to seat PCIe cards at Slot 3. PCIe adapters, GPUs, and accelerators must be purchased separately.
