PCI-Express Support on the DL380 G4 Base model server

[ecorban]

Hi

Does the HP DL380 G4 base model support generic QLE2462 (QLogic 2462 pci express hba's) and the LPe11002 M4 (Generic Emulex 11002 pci express hba's.
If they do support them how do we connect them up ?
OR what PCI-Express hba's do the DL380's support ?

Do we need reiser kits like for the DL140/145 G2 models to support the pci express option on these servers ?

Hi Eddie!

Yes, you need new PCI Express Riser Cage Option Kit (354675-B21)
NOTE: Not Supported on SAS models. AND it's strongly recommended install hardware specifided in quickspecs. There is only one FC HBA (PCI Express) supported by DL380G4 - HP NC571C PCI Express Dual-port 4x Fabric Adapter 376160-B21.
