Description

The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen12 Front Primary OCP NIC Box3 Bay3 Enablement Kit allows network administrators to install a primary OCP NIC at the front of the DL360 Gen12 server, specifically at the Box3 Bay3 position within the front multi-purpose cage. Designed for 10SFF and 20EDSFF Hybrid CTO configurations, this kit enables shared-NIC (NCSI) and Wake-on-LAN (WOL) functionality, supporting advanced remote management and network resilience in dense rack environments.

Once installed, the kit integrates seamlessly with the DL360 Gen12's intelligent front cage architecture, providing front-accessible NIC LED status display for Scan Chain-capable OCP NICs. It is a companion to the Secondary Front OCP NIC Box3 Bay1 Enablement Kit (P72597-B21), enabling flexible and scalable networking configurations. Note that when this kit occupies the Box3 position, up to four storage backplanes remain supported. Get it now at iptrading.com.au — authentic hardware, reliable service.

FAQs

Q: What server is this enablement kit compatible with?
A: This kit is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 server, specifically the 10SFF and 20EDSFF Hybrid CTO configurations. It is not compatible with other ProLiant generations.

Q: What does the Front Primary OCP NIC Box3 Bay3 Enablement Kit actually do?
A: It enables the installation of a primary OCP NIC at the front of the DL360 Gen12 server at the Box3 Bay3 position. This supports shared-NIC (NCSI) functionality for out-of-band management and Wake-on-LAN (WOL) for remote power management.

Q: What is the difference between this kit (P72596-B21) and the Secondary OCP NIC kit (P72597-B21)?
A: P72596-B21 installs the primary OCP NIC at Box3 Bay3, supporting NCSI and WOL. P72597-B21 is the companion kit for a secondary OCP NIC at Box3 Bay1. Both can be installed together to maximise front-access networking in the DL360 Gen12.

Q: Will installing this kit affect storage backplane support?
A: Yes. When this kit occupies the Box3 position, up to four storage backplanes are supported. Ensure your storage configuration is reviewed before installation.

Q: Does this kit include an OCP NIC, or is it just the enablement hardware?
A: This is an enablement kit only — it provides the mounting and connectivity infrastructure for a front-accessible primary OCP NIC. The OCP NIC itself must be purchased separately and must be Scan Chain-capable to utilise the front NIC LED ACT/LINK display.

Q: Can I purchase this kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) supplies genuine HPE hardware to Australian businesses, including this DL360 Gen12 Front Primary OCP NIC Enablement Kit. Contact our team for availability, pricing, and compatibility advice.
