HPE P48824-B21 DL380 Gen11 2U Rear Serial Cable Kit

Overview

The P48824-B21 is a rear serial cable kit designed for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 in 2U rack configurations. It provides the physical serial connectivity path at the rear of the server chassis — relevant when deploying out-of-band console access, legacy serial device integration, or headless rack environments where a dedicated serial management port is required at the rear I/O panel rather than the front. At 0.10 lb and 11.00 x 1.60 x 0.40 inches, it ships as a compact, low-profile assembly sized to route cleanly within the DL380 Gen11's 2U chassis depth without competing for space with primary data cabling.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 (G11) in 2U rack form factor. This kit addresses the rear serial header position on that chassis generation — it is not interchangeable with DL380 Gen10 or Gen10 Plus variants, which use different internal routing and connector placements. If you are building or expanding a rack-mounted server deployment around DL380 Gen11 nodes, confirm your chassis SKU ends in the G11 designator before ordering. Paired appropriately with rack cable management accessories to keep rear I/O organized in dense 2U deployments.

Installation Notes

Route the 11-inch cable assembly along the rear chassis interior per HPE's DL380 Gen11 maintenance guide — the form factor (11.00 x 1.60 x 0.40 in) is sized for the specific rear bulkhead routing channel on this server generation. No tools beyond standard server servicing equipment are required. Verify chassis power is removed before installing internal cable assemblies. Country of origin is listed as BL/BR per distribution records.
