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.
