HPE ProLiant DL36X Gen10 Plus x16/x8 PCIe M.2 NS204i-r Riser Kit

The HPE P26463-B21 is a x16 and x8 PCIe M.2 riser kit created for HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus and DL365 Gen10 Plus servers. By opening a dedicated path for M.2 drives, it gives administrators an immediate way to add high-speed flash storage that reduces latency and raises throughput for operating system boot volumes, cache tiers, or log files.

Installation is straightforward. The riser slides into the standard expansion bay without specialized tools, and its footprint of 2.4 inches in height, 11.4 inches in width, and 14.5 inches in depth fits neatly alongside existing components. A silver metal finish matches the chassis, keeping the interior uncluttered and airflow unobstructed. Weighing only 22.93 ounces, it is easy to handle when you are working at the rack.

Teams running virtualization clusters, edge deployments, or software-defined storage platforms will appreciate the performance lift that direct-attach NVMe or SATA M.2 media can provide. Faster reads and writes improve the responsiveness of databases, container workloads, and virtual machines while freeing front panel drive bays for large-capacity disks. Clear documentation is included, so you can move from unboxing to power-on in minutes.
