What type of servers is the HPE 684213-B21 adapter designed for?

The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLR-SFP+ FIO Adapter 684213-B21 is categorized as a 10Gb Ethernet FlexibleLOM with dual-port SFP+ for ProLiant Gen8 servers. This means it is intended for ProLiant Gen8 models that support the FlexibleLOM form factor rather than standard PCIe network adapters.

How many network ports does the HPE FlexFabric 554FLR-SFP+ FIO Adapter provide?

The adapter is described as a 10Gb 2-port 554FLR-SFP+ FlexibleLOM. This indicates it has two network ports available on a single adapter. Both ports are designed for 10Gb Ethernet connectivity and use SFP+ as the interface type, supporting two separate network links from one card.

What is the network speed supported by the HPE 684213-B21 adapter?

The model is specified as a FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLR-SFP+ adapter, placing it in the 10Gb Ethernet FlexibleLOM category. This indicates that each of its ports is designed for 10Gb network operation, making it suitable for environments where ProLiant Gen8 servers connect to 10Gb Ethernet infrastructure.

What connector type does this HPE FlexFabric adapter use?

The adapter is identified as the 554FLR-SFP+ model and categorized as a dual-port SFP+ solution for ProLiant Gen8 servers. This means its network interfaces are SFP+ based, so it requires appropriate SFP+ modules and cabling when integrated into a 10Gb Ethernet network.

Is the HPE 684213-B21 adapter a FlexibleLOM card or a standard PCIe card?

This product is categorized as a 10Gb Ethernet FlexibleLOM adapter with dual-port SFP+ for ProLiant Gen8 servers. That classification indicates it is a FlexibleLOM card designed for the dedicated FlexibleLOM slot in those servers, not a conventional plug-in PCIe adapter.
