HPE P14590-B21

Overview

The HPE P14590-B21 is a riser kit designed to expand the PCIe capabilities of HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus and Gen10 Plus Entry servers by adding two additional PCIe x16 lanes in slot 2 and slot 3. This upgrade enables the installation of modern GPUs or other high-bandwidth cards that require full x16 links, enhancing the server’s ability to handle graphics-intensive virtualization, machine learning, and data-heavy simulations. The kit’s compact size and lightweight design make it a practical choice for IT teams looking to boost compute power without replacing the entire server.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
