HPE ML350 GEN11 OCP1 Enable KIT - P47230-B21

HPE P47230-B21 ML350 Gen11 OCP1 Enable Kit

Overview

The HPE P47230-B21 is an OCP 1.0 enablement kit designed for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 tower server. It provisions the mechanical and electrical infrastructure needed to seat an OCP NIC 1.0 mezzanine adapter in the ML350 Gen11 chassis — a requirement if you are adding a high-density network interface card to a base-configured system that shipped without the OCP slot pre-enabled. Without this kit, the OCP NIC bay remains unpopulated and inaccessible. At 0.29 lb, P47230-B21 is a lightweight internal hardware enablement component, not a standalone NIC or expansion card.

Compatibility

Verified for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 platform. This kit is chassis-specific — it is not interchangeable with ML350 Gen10/Gen10 Plus or other ProLiant tower families (ML110, ML30, ML110 Gen11). Confirm your server's existing OCP slot status before ordering: systems already configured with an OCP NIC option at time of purchase do not require this kit. Pair with a compatible HPE OCP NIC 1.0 adapter to complete the network expansion. Country of origin: CN.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed inside the ML350 Gen11 chassis and requires powering down the server and removing the access panel per HPE's standard service procedures. Consult the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 Maintenance and Service Guide for torque specifications and ESD precautions before handling internal components. No additional tools beyond standard HPE service kit are specified in available documentation.
