HPE P48827-B21 DL3XX GEN11 OCP1 X16 Enablement Kit

Overview

The HPE DL3XX GEN11 OCP1 X16 Enablement Kit, model P48827-B21, is designed to facilitate the installation of OCP Type 1 mezzanine cards into HPE ProLiant DL3XX Gen11 servers. This kit ensures that the necessary power and data pathways are correctly established, allowing for the integration of high-bandwidth devices like network interface cards or accelerators that utilize an OCP Type 1 form factor and require PCIe x16 connectivity. It's a critical component for server configurations needing expanded I/O beyond standard onboard options, particularly in environments requiring specialized network or compute acceleration.

Compatibility

This enablement kit is specifically designed for HPE ProLiant DL3XX Gen11 server platforms. It supports the integration of OCP Type 1 mezzanine cards that require a PCIe x16 physical interface. Verify your specific DL3XX Gen11 server model and the OCP Type 1 card's specifications to ensure full compatibility before deployment.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis and carefully seating the enablement kit into the designated OCP Type 1 slot. Ensure proper alignment and secure connection to the server's motherboard. The kit then provides the necessary physical interface for the OCP Type 1 card. Refer to the HPE ProLiant DL3XX Gen11 server documentation for detailed installation procedures and safety precautions. The kit itself measures approximately 12 inches in length.
