Intel X520-DA2 doesn’t fit DL360e G8?

matt_wave — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 07:08:36 GMT

Just bought a pair of DL360e G8s and X520-DA2s to go with but I can’t get them to fit in the x8 slot. The standard bracket is obviously too long and the low profile bracket makes it so the SFP+ ports don’t quite line up with the opening of the riser card/chassis. Anyone run into this before or know where I can find a bracket that fits?

Hello Team,

server is not desined for the NON HPE hardware you need to buy the HPE SFP module which is compatible.

So that'd be the HP 560SFP+ (665249-B21)?

So the images I see of this card online, it appears to be astandard PCIe card, no reason it shouldn't line up in the slot

I guess I should clarify that I'm trying to fit it in the low-profile slot as there's already a RAID controller in the larger slot, which I don't have a low-profile bracket for. So the problem is that the low-profile X520-DA2 bracket doesn't allow the SFP+ ports to line up with the opening on the chassis of the DL360e G8 riser card.
