how to install HPE ProLiant DL110 Gen11 x16 FHHL PCIe Secondary Riser Kit

• Power down the server, unplug all power sources, and discharge any remaining static. Open the chassis and remove the appropriate cover or access panels to reveal the PCIe expansion area and existing riser assembly.
• Identify the DL110 Gen11 PCIe substrate and the dedicated secondary riser slot that will receive the FHHL riser. Verify that you are installing the correct module in the designated expansion bay to ensure proper alignment with the motherboard PCIe lanes.
• Carefully align the secondary riser’s connector with the mating socket on the DL110 Gen11 motherboard or riser carrier. Ensure the connector engages evenly and seats securely without forcing the interface, which could damage pins or contacts.
• Secure the riser in place using the supplied mounting hardware, following the chassis manufacturer’s guidance. Recheck clearance around the inserted riser to avoid interference with adjacent expansion cards, cables, or cooling components.
• Install your PCIe expansion card(s) into the FHHL slots, ensuring each card is fully seated in its slot. Reassemble any panels or covers, reconnect power, and boot the server to confirm recognition of the new PCIe devices and stable operation under load.
• Verify system health through the server’s management interface, confirm BIOS/UEFI sees the new PCIe devices, and perform a basic functional test of the expansion cards to validate performance, compatibility, and stability within your DL110 Gen11 environment.
