HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 2SFF OCP Cable Kit

The HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 2SFF OCP Cable Kit is an accessory set designed to provide internal connectivity for HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 servers configured with two small form factor (2SFF) drive bays and an OCP (Open Compute Project) networking mezzanine. This cable kit includes the necessary internal cables to link drive backplanes, chassis connectors and the OCP mezzanine slot according to the server's factory layout, enabling correct power and data routing within the server chassis.

Advantages

This cable kit is purpose-built for compatibility with the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 platform, ensuring fit and routing consistent with the server chassis. The pre-terminated cable ends and standardized connectors simplify installation, reduce the need for custom cabling, and help maintain proper airflow and cable management inside the system. Using the manufacturer's specified cable kit supports reliable signal integrity and reduces the risk of connection errors during deployment or service.

Suitable for

• HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 servers with 2SFF drive configuration
• Environments deploying an OCP mezzanine network card in the DL20 Gen11
• Server maintenance, refurbishment, or factory-equivalent rebuilds
• Data centers and edge installations requiring factory-compatible internal cabling

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 chassis with 2SFF drive bays and OCP mezzanine slot
• Cable types: internal data and power interconnects sized for server backplane and mezzanine routing
• Connector style: pre-terminated manufacturer-specified internal server connectors for direct mating
• Cable length and routing: factory-optimized lengths for correct fit and airflow within DL20 Gen11 chassis
• Purpose: internal server interconnects for drives and OCP mezzanine networking

How to use

Install the cable kit inside a powered-off and grounded HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 server by routing each cable along the chassis pathways and connecting the pre-terminated ends to the corresponding drive backplane, power distribution points and the OCP mezzanine slot. Follow the server service manual for correct connector locations and mounting sequence. Verify each connection is fully seated and secure cable ties or guides as needed to maintain clearance for fans and airflow. After installation, perform a power-on self-test (POST) and check system logs or management utilities to confirm the drives and OCP network interface are detected.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable kit only with HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 systems configured with the matching 2SFF drive and OCP mezzanine layout. Replace damaged or frayed cables with the same kit to keep signal integrity and maintain manufacturer-supported configurations. When servicing, observe ESD precautions and consult HPE service documentation for torque and securing points.
