HPE P52150-B21 Large Form Factor ODD/DP Enable Kit
Overview
The HPE P52150-B21 is an enablement kit that unlocks Large Form Factor (LFF) optical disk drive (ODD) and DisplayPort functionality on the ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server platform. If your DL380 Gen11 deployment requires a physical ODD bay or local display output — for bare-metal OS installs, local KVM access, or compliance-driven media workflows — this kit provides the hardware interface to make that configuration possible without sourcing third-party adapters that may not seat correctly in HPE's chassis architecture. Weighing 1.08 lb, it ships factory-new and installs directly into the DL380 Gen11 chassis.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 platform. This kit is not cross-compatible with Gen10, Gen10 Plus, or other ProLiant series — LFF bay geometry and internal connector pinouts differ between generations. Confirm your chassis is DL380 Gen11 before ordering; the Gen11 designation is printed on the server's front bezel and system label. If you are outfitting multiple servers and storage platforms across a rack build, verify each unit's generation independently.
Installation Notes
Country of origin spans multiple manufacturing sites (CN, CZ, JP, MX, SG), which is standard for HPE option kits and does not affect compatibility or support eligibility. The UNSPSC code 43211600 classifies this as a computer hardware component — relevant for procurement systems that require commodity coding on data center purchase orders. No special tooling is documented beyond standard Phillips-head access for DL380 chassis panels. Consult the DL380 Gen11 Maintenance and Service Guide for torque specs and chassis access sequence before installation.
