Description

The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen12 Front Secondary OCP NIC Box3 Bay1 Enablement Kit adds a second front-accessible OCP 3.0 NIC slot to the DL360 Gen12 server, installed in the Box3 Bay1 position of the front multi-purpose cage. Designed for the 10SFF/20EDSFF Hybrid CTO Server configuration, this field-installable kit includes a Phy board and Interposer card, enabling flexible front-panel networking expansion without consuming a rear PCIe slot.

This kit works alongside the Front Primary OCP NIC Enablement Kit (P72596-B21, Box3 Bay3) but is mutually exclusive with Front NS204i-u enablement kits. As the DL360 Gen12 system board carries no embedded LOM, OCP slots serve as the primary networking interface — making this expansion kit essential for environments requiring dual front OCP NIC capability.

FAQs

Q: What does the P72597-B21 enablement kit do?
A: It enables a secondary front OCP 3.0 NIC slot in Box3 Bay1 of the HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 server, allowing an additional front-accessible network adapter to be installed without using a rear PCIe expansion slot.

Q: How does P72597-B21 differ from P72596-B21?
A: P72596-B21 is the Front Primary OCP NIC Enablement Kit and installs in Box3 Bay3, while P72597-B21 is the Secondary OCP NIC kit and installs in Box3 Bay1. Both can be used together to provide dual front OCP NIC capability on the DL360 Gen12.

Q: Which server is this kit compatible with?
A: This kit is specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 in the 10SFF/20EDSFF Hybrid CTO Server configuration. It is not designed for other ProLiant server generations.

Q: Can this kit be used alongside the NS204i-u enablement kit?
A: No. The Front Secondary OCP NIC Enablement Kit (P72597-B21) is mutually exclusive with Front NS204i-u enablement kits — they cannot be selected or installed together in the same system.

Q: Why are OCP NIC slots so important on the DL360 Gen12?
A: The HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 system board does not include an embedded LOM (LAN on Motherboard), making OCP 3.0 slots the primary networking interface. Enablement kits like this one are therefore critical for establishing front-panel network connectivity.

Q: Can I purchase the P72597-B21 in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is a trusted Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying HPE server accessories and enablement kits to IT professionals across Australia. Contact us or order online for pricing and availability.
