Riser cage for DL380 Gen10

The HPE P38515B21 riser cage installs in a DL380 Gen10 server to provide PCI expansion slots for primary or secondary positions. It is a structural component that aligns add-in cards with the system board and chassis airflow. Weight is approximately 13.76 ounces. No retainer clip is included with this unit.

For DL380 Gen10 PCI expansion

This part suits administrators adding or replacing a riser in a supported DL380 Gen10 chassis. It does not suit other server models or generations. Buyers needing a retainer clip must source that piece separately. The cage alone does not add connectivity without compatible PCI cards.

DL380 Gen10 compatibility only

The decisive specification is confirmed compatibility with the HPE DL380 Gen10 server. Verify the server model and riser position before purchase. Other HPE systems use different riser cages that will not fit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the P38515B21 riser cage in the HPE DL380 Gen10 server and what step is often missed?

Align the riser cage with the motherboard connector and press firmly until seated; the separate retainer clip must then be fitted to lock it in place.

What maintenance or replacement will the riser cage need over time?

The cage itself has no moving parts; only the add-in cards installed into its slots may require future replacement or firmware updates.

What physical limit appears first when the riser cage runs under sustained load?

The cage is a passive metal bracket; thermal limits depend entirely on the installed cards and the server's own cooling capacity.
