  • Plug type10Gigabit Ethernet Card
  • Dual-port design delivers 20 Gb aggregate throughput for bandwidth-intensive workloads
  • Single-chip FlexibleLOM integration reduces power draw for two 10 GbE ports
  • PCI Express x8 host interface fits HPE ProLiant Gen8 rack and scale-out servers
  • SFP+ slots support optical fibre media for flexible 10 GbE connectivity
  • Refurbished HPE 560FLR adapter validated for server virtualisation and high-performance computing

10 Gb dual-port FlexibleLOM adapter

The HPE 684218-B21 is a refurbished 10 Gigabit Ethernet card that fits a FlexibleLOM slot. It provides two SFP+ ports with an aggregate throughput of 20 Gb using a single-chip PCIe x8 design. The card targets ProLiant Gen8 rack and scale-out servers needing high-bandwidth connectivity.

Suited for Gen8 servers with FlexibleLOM

This adapter suits administrators upgrading or repairing compatible HPE ProLiant Gen8 systems that have an available FlexibleLOM bay and require dual 10 Gb optical links. It will not work in servers lacking a FlexibleLOM slot or in platforms limited to 1 Gb or copper-only interfaces.

FlexibleLOM form factor with SFP+ ports

The single specification that decides fit is the FlexibleLOM form factor combined with SFP+ optical ports on a PCIe x8 host interface. Only systems built for this exact slot type and optical media can use the card.

Questions about this item

What server form factor does the 560FLR FlexibleLOM adapter require?

The 560FLR adapter uses the FlexibleLOM form factor and is designed for HP ProLiant Gen8 Rack and Scale-Out servers with a compatible FlexibleLOM slot.

How is the 560FLR adapter installed in a Gen8 server, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into the dedicated FlexibleLOM connector on the system board, then secure it with the retention latch; the latch is often left unlatched, causing link failures.

What replacement parts will the 560FLR adapter need for optical connectivity?

The dual SFP+ ports require compatible SFP+ optical transceivers and fibre patch cables, which are consumables that must be replaced if damaged or when changing link distances.
