Key points to note on these 752803-B21 HPE Riser Cards:-

This SKU:752803-B21 is a  part number corresponding to an HPE Double Wide Riser Cage Kit for the HP ProLiant DL380p Generation 8 (Gen8) server.

This kit is an accessory used to enhance the expansion capabilities of the server by providing a double-wide slot for installing expansion cards (like certain graphics cards or specialized I/O cards). 

**These are NOT standard options on all base DL380p Gen8 models, but rather an optional kit that is purchased and installed to enable higher-power expansion cards, like certain GPUs (Graphics Processing Units).Each is  a specialized expansion part for the HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 server.**

Its primary specification is to allow the installation of larger, high-power expansion cards, like certain GPUs, into the server.

When using this double-wide riser kit, there are specific server configuration requirements, particularly for high-power cards like GPUs:

• ::Chassis Restriction: The double-wide riser cage kit is NOT supported in the 8LFF (Large Form Factor), 12LFF, and 25SFF (Small Form Factor) configured servers. It is typically supported in the 8 SFF chassis.

• ::Power Supply: To support high-power double-wide cards (like NVIDIA K1 or K2 GPUs), the server usually requires the installation of two 1200W Power Supply Kits.

• ::Processor: For some supported configurations (like specific GPU models), the use of the second processor (CPU 2) and the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors may be required.

•  

The target audience for the HP DL380p Gen8 Wide Graphic Processing Riser Cage Kits (like the SKU:728536-001), is any organization or user who needs to turn a standard rack server into a High-Performance Computing (HPC) or accelerated computing platform. Thes are, but not limited to-research institutions, universities, pharmaceutical companies, and energy/oil and gas exploration firms.

Below are the key target audiences and their application / use cases:

1. High-Performance Computing (HPC) & Scientific Research

Audience: Research institutions, universities, pharmaceutical companies, and energy/oil and gas exploration firms.

• Use Cases:
• ::Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Simulating air/liquid flow.
• ::Weather Forecasting & Climate Modeling: Running complex atmospheric models.
• ::Molecular Dynamics/Chemistry: Simulating atomic and molecular interactions.
