Questions & Answers
What is the HPE XL270d Gen9 E5-2680v4 FIO Kit (SKU 853938-L21)?
The HPE 853938-L21 FIO Kit is a Flexible I/O expansion module for HPE Apollo XL270d Gen9 servers, adding two full-height, full-length PCIe Gen3 x16 slots for high-performance network and storage adapters.
Which server models are compatible with the 853938-L21 FIO Kit?
The FIO Kit is compatible exclusively with HPE Apollo XL270d Gen9 2U GPU-optimized servers equipped with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 family processors.
What Intel processors are supported by the HPE XL270d Gen9 FIO Kit?
The kit supports all Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 series CPUs, including the E5-2680 v4, as well as E5-2600 v3 models when installed in an XL270d Gen9 chassis.
What components are included in the 853938-L21 FIO Kit?
The kit includes one PCIe Gen3 x16 riser card, a Flexible I/O (FIO) ribbon cable assembly, a rear I/O bracket, captive mounting screws and a step-by-step installation guide.
How does the FIO Kit enhance I/O performance?
By provisioning two additional PCIe Gen3 x16 slots, the kit increases total PCIe lanes up to 64, delivers up to 200 Gbps throughput and reduces data-path latency for demanding I/O workloads.
Can I install GPU accelerator cards using this FIO Kit?
Yes. The Flexible I/O slots support double-width, full-length PCIe Gen3 x16 GPUs such as NVIDIA Tesla P100/V100 and AMD Radeon Instinct series.
What are the power and cooling requirements for the FIO Kit?
The FIO Kit itself consumes under 5 W. Total system power varies by installed cards. HPE recommends a minimum 1 800 W power supply and an ambient temperature of 5 °C–35 °C with proper airflow.
Which operating systems are supported by the HPE XL270d Gen9 FIO Kit?
Supported OSes include Microsoft Windows Server 2016/2019, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/8, CentOS 7, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12/15 and Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 with HPE Service Pack for ProLiant drivers.
Is a firmware or BIOS update required before installing the FIO Kit?
Yes. Upgrade your system ROM to a minimum of version 2.70 and FlexibleLOM firmware to v4.00 or later to ensure full PCIe enumeration and hot-plug support.
What warranty coverage comes with the 853938-L21 FIO Kit?
The kit carries HPE’s standard one-year parts and labor warranty. Optional HPE Pointnext support can extend coverage up to three years with 24×7 response options.
Can the 853938-L21 FIO Kit be mixed with other Gen9 riser cards?
No. The FIO Kit is a self-contained Flexible I/O solution and must not be combined with any other HPE Gen9 riser cards in the same server.
What is the typical lead time for ordering SKU 853938-L21?
Standard lead time is 2–4 weeks, depending on regional stock and HPE distribution. Expedited options may be available through authorized resellers.
How do I order replacement parts for the FIO Kit?
Order spares through HPE using part numbers 853938-001 (riser card) and 853938-002 (cable assembly), or contact your HPE channel partner for full kit replacement.
Does the FIO Kit support direct-attach NVMe SSDs?
No. The FIO Kit is designed for add-on PCIe adapters only. For NVMe storage, you must install an NVMe drive backplane or use HPE NVMe expansion kits.
What are the primary use cases for the HPE XL270d Gen9 FIO Kit?
Ideal for high-performance computing, AI/ML training, network analytics and storage acceleration scenarios requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth I/O expansion.
How can I troubleshoot I/O detection issues after installing the FIO Kit?
Verify BIOS I/O settings, reseat the FIO cable and riser card, update all firmware via the HPE Service Pack for ProLiant, and confirm power connections to the adapter.
