Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
- Ensure the server is powered down and disconnected from any power source before opening the chassis.
- Locate an available PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot on your HPE server motherboard.
- Carefully insert the card into the slot, ensuring the backplate aligns with the chassis rear opening.
- Secure the bracket with the necessary server chassis screws and reconnect the power.
Compatibility
This adapter is specifically designed for HPE Gen10 Plus server environments. Always verify your specific server model documentation before installation to ensure slot compatibility and firmware support.
Care
- Keep the server environment free of dust to prevent overheating the card's internal components.
- Ensure adequate airflow across the PCIe area of the server chassis.
- Do not attempt to flash the firmware with non-HPE approved files, as this can void the security features and system stability.
