It is compatible with DL20 Gen11 servers configured with either the 2 Large Form Factor (LFF) or 4 Small Form Factor (SFF) drive bays, provided they utilize an OCP mezzanine slot for network or storage expansion.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis and carefully routing cables to their respective connectors on the motherboard and OCP adapter. Ensure the server is powered off and properly grounded before beginning. Refer to the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 server documentation for detailed cable routing diagrams specific to your OCP adapter and chassis configuration to avoid signal integrity issues or improper connections.
