HPE 871246-B21 DL360 G10 Server Heatsink

HPE 871246-B21 DL360 Gen10 High Performance Heat Sink Kit

The HPE 871246-B21 High Performance Heat Sink Kit is a processor cooling component designed for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 rack server. It helps transfer heat away from compatible Intel Xeon Scalable processors, supporting reliable server operation under demanding workloads.

Designed for the compact 1U DL360 Gen10 chassis, this high-performance heatsink is an important replacement or upgrade option when the installed processor requires enhanced cooling. Unlike an active cooling fan, the heatsink uses passive thermal dissipation and works alongside the server’s system fans.

HPE 871246-B21 Technical Specifications

Important: The HPE-listed dimensions are product catalogue measurements and should not be interpreted as the dimensions of the installed heatsink assembly.

Key Features and Benefits

• High-performance processor cooling: Helps dissipate heat generated by supported server processors.
• DL360 Gen10-specific design: Designed for the internal layout and cooling architecture of the 1U server.
• Passive operation: Does not contain a dedicated electrical fan or require a separate fan power connection.
• Processor upgrade support: Suitable for configurations requiring the high-performance heatsink option.
• Replacement component: Helps restore the intended cooling configuration when an existing heatsink is damaged or missing.

HPE DL360 Gen10 Compatibility

The 871246-B21 is officially listed by HPE as a performance cooling option for the ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Server.

HPE’s DL360 Gen10 configuration documentation identifies high-performance heatsinks for certain higher-power processor configurations, including processors rated at 130W or above and selected processor models requiring enhanced cooling.

However, heatsink requirements depend on the exact processor SKU, server configuration and applicable HPE QuickSpecs revision.

Do not assume compatibility with DL360 Gen9, DL360 Gen10 Plus, DL380 Gen10 or Gen11 servers. These platforms may use different heatsink assemblies and mounting arrangements.

High Performance Heatsink vs Standard Heatsink

Standard heatsinks are supplied with many lower-power DL360 Gen10 processor configurations. The high-performance 871246-B21 option is intended for supported configurations with greater cooling requirements.

HPE also lists the 871244-B21 High Performance Fan Kit separately. The heatsink and fan kit perform different functions and may both be required depending on the processor and server configuration.

Before upgrading, confirm the processor’s thermal design power (TDP), required fan configuration and existing cooling components.

Installation and Replacement Guidance

Processor heatsink installation should follow the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 maintenance and service guide.

Power down the server, disconnect power and allow components to cool before removing the existing heatsink. Follow the prescribed processor carrier and heatsink handling procedure, including the correct thermal interface material and fastening sequence.

After installation, verify fan operation and check for thermal warnings through HPE iLO and the server’s system management tools.

The processor, cooling fans and thermal compound should not be assumed included with the heatsink kit unless confirmed in the supplied package.

New and Refurbished HPE 871246-B21

New: New or unused heatsink kits may be suitable for processor upgrades and server maintenance. Confirm availability, supplied mounting components and warranty terms before purchasing.

Refurbished: A Refurbished heatsink can be a cost-effective replacement for existing DL360 Gen10 servers. Check for damaged fins, mounting hardware condition and the suitability of the thermal contact surface.

Warranty coverage and UK delivery arrangements depend on the product condition and supplier terms.
