HPE OROC Tri-Mode Cable Kit for ProLiant DL360 Gen11 — P52416-B21

The HPE P52416-B21 is the OROC (OCP Riser and OCP Cable) tri-mode cable kit for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server. Supporting tri-mode NVMe/SAS/SATA backplane connectivity through the OCP riser, this cable kit enables the DL360 Gen11 to support U.3 tri-mode drives and flexible mixed-protocol storage configurations — essential for DL360 Gen11 builds requiring tri-mode backplane and OCP riser integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OROC and why is it needed for DL360 Gen11 tri-mode configurations?

OROC (OCP Riser and OCP Cable) is the cable assembly that connects the OCP (Open Compute Project) riser card to the tri-mode U.3 backplane in the DL360 Gen11. Without this cable kit, the OCP riser cannot communicate with the tri-mode backplane, preventing U.3 tri-mode NVMe/SAS/SATA mixed-drive configurations from functioning properly.

Is P52416-B21 compatible with the DL360 Gen10 Plus?

No — P52416-B21 is specifically designed and validated for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11. The DL360 Gen10 Plus uses different cable and riser configurations. Consult HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus QuickSpecs for the appropriate tri-mode cable kit for that platform.

Does the DL360 Gen11 require this cable kit for all storage configurations?

P52416-B21 is required specifically for DL360 Gen11 configurations using the OCP riser with tri-mode U.3 backplane. Standard SAS-only or NVMe-only backplane configurations may not require this cable kit. Consult HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 QuickSpecs and the server's cable routing guide to determine if P52416-B21 is required for your specific storage configuration.

The HPE P52416-B21 OROC tri-mode cable kit enables full U.3 tri-mode NVMe/SAS/SATA backplane connectivity via OCP riser for HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11. Order today — in stock at a competitive price.
