Know before you buy
This tertiary riser kit is specifically engineered for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 server. It is not designed for use with other server generations or models.
The 2x8 designation indicates that the riser card provides two physical expansion slots, each configured with an 8-lane (x8) PCIe interface. This allows you to add two additional PCIe cards to your server configuration.
The kit is designed for seamless integration, but you should ensure your server's current configuration has the necessary internal power and data cabling available for a tertiary riser. We recommend consulting your server's service manual to confirm your specific chassis layout supports the tertiary riser position.
Adding expansion cards can slightly alter internal airflow patterns. Because this is a genuine HPE component, it is designed to maintain the thermal integrity of the ML350 Gen11, provided your server is populated with the appropriate cooling fans and baffles.
While this riser provides the necessary PCIe slots, you must verify that the cards you intend to install fit within the physical space constraints and power delivery capabilities of the ML350 Gen11's tertiary slot area. Always check the power requirements of your specific expansion cards against your server's power supply capacity.
