How to install HPE DL38X Gen10 Plus x16/x16 Slot 1/2 Secondary Riser Kit

Step 1 Power down the HPE DL38X Gen10 Plus server and unplug all power sources. Remove the side access panel to gain clear access to the backplane area where PCIe risers are installed. Ensure you follow proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions to protect sensitive components.

Step 2 Identify the secondary riser slot and confirm you have the correct expansion bay free of obstructions. If your chassis design requires rear fan clearance or specific cabling routes, plan the installation path to avoid airflow disruption and ensure easy future maintenance.

Step 3 Align the HPE DL38X Gen10 Plus x16/x16 Slot 1/2 Secondary Riser Kit with the riser connector on the motherboard/backplane. Gently press to seat the riser in place, ensuring a firm, secure connection to prevent any interference or looseness during operation.

Step 4 Secure the riser kit using the appropriate mounting screws or brackets as specified by HPE’s hardware guide. Confirm that all fasteners are tightened to the recommended torque and that there is no warping or misalignment that could affect card seating.

Step 5 Reinstall the server side panel, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the BIOS/UEFI setup to verify that both PCIe x16 slots are detected and are configured for the desired operating mode (for example, PCIe Gen 3 or Gen 4 as supported by your processor and motherboard). Update BIOS and firmware if prompted to ensure optimal compatibility with the riser kit.

Step 6 Install the PCIe cards you intend to use in the two x16 slots. Confirm that each card is properly seated and secured, then power on the system again to perform a post-check. Use the operating system’s device manager or a hardware monitoring tool to verify recognition, temperature, and performance metrics for each card.

Step 7 Run a basic validation suite or vendor-provided diagnostics to confirm stability under load. Pay attention to power draw and thermal behavior; ensure that cooling airflow remains unobstructed by the added hardware. If any anomalies are detected, consult HPE support resources for guidance on power, thermals, or BIOS adjustments.

Excellent Air filter - Easy installation.
Style: BE-743 1-Pack
Excellent AC and Heater Cabinet odor defense air filter. I noticed immediately the smell coming out of the vents was fresher and the musty smell that was coming from the vents was crisper and cleaner. Very easy installation that you can do yourself and don’t need to pay a shop to do. The price is one of the best online and coms in quickly. It’s very sturdy, filter quality is excellent and it definitely improves the air quality and flow in your car. Fits perfectly like any OEM filter, this is a great buy for the price of an installation that will take you Les then 10 minutes to do yourself.

Great filter and easy installation
Style: BE-159 1-Pack, Style: BE-159 1-Pack
For my 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited. I cannot believe I paid so much more for a brand-name filter that does the same thing as this one. It is made of the same material as the dealer one I took out. Very easy to install, cant believe I paid for this to be done in the past with oil changes. Requires no tools and did not get dirty at all. No mechanical skills needed, especially if you run into trouble and can use YouTube. PROS - great quality, cannot tell that it is after-market - very professionally made, not irregularities seen - excellent fit in position, no adjustment needed - very easy to install, cannot believe I paid to have this done in the past - no mechanical skills needed to install - great price compared to what big name productions want for the same thing - cannot tell the difference in air quality between this and the dealer filter I took out - removes outside odor completely - did not require tools are getting dirty CONS - None
