How to install HPE DL38X Gen10 Plus Primary NEBS-Compliant Riser Kit

Installing the HPE DL38X Gen10 Plus Primary NEBS-Compliant Riser Kit follows standard server upgrade procedures, with attention to alignment, grounding, and thermal considerations. Use the steps below as a general guide to ensure a clean, reliable installation in supported DL38X Gen10 Plus chassis.

• Power down the server and unplug all power sources. Disconnect any peripheral cables as needed to gain access to the chassis and internal components.
• Remove the server cover or access panel following your vendor’s service procedure. Ensure you are properly grounded to prevent static damage to sensitive components.
• Locate the PCIe backplane or expansion area where the riser kit will be installed. Verify compatibility with the DL38X Gen10 Plus model and confirm that the chassis supports NEBS-compliant components.
• Align the riser kit with the backplane connectors and mounting points. Gently seat the connectors to ensure a solid electrical connection, then secure the kit with the provided screws or fasteners, taking care not to overtighten.
• Reattach any connectors, reseat expansion cards if applicable, and replace the server cover. Reconnect power and perform a minimal post-installation check to verify that the system recognizes the riser kit and any connected PCIe devices. If available, refer to the installation guide for any model-specific steps or firmware considerations.
