HPE ProLiant DL300 Gen11 OCP1 x16 Enablement Kit
HPE ProLiant DL300 Gen11 OCP1 x16 Enablement Kit
This OCP cable upgrade connects an MCIO socket from CPU1 to the OCP1 x16 upgrade slot,
but in doing-so will require that the MCIO CPU1 connection which is normally connected to OCP2 (x8) port is removed.
This essentially disables OCP Port 2 (OCP2), and is achieved by removing it from the pre-installed basket.
To re-enable OCP Port 2 the addition of the 2nd CPU along with a different CPU2 to OCP2 (x8) cable kit will be necessary,
and can furthermore be upgraded to full OCP2 x16 performance via a further upgrade if required by some high bandwidth OCP NICs.
