HP 562FLR-SFP 10Gb 2-port FlexibleLOM video accessory
Dual-port 10Gb SFP+ FlexibleLOM adapter for HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers, delivering 20Gb aggregate throughput over PCIe 3.0 x8
- Dual 10Gb ports deliver 20Gb aggregate throughput
- FlexibleLOM form factor fits HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers
- PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface enables high-speed connectivity
- SFP+ optical fiber ports support 10GBase-X networking
- Single-chip design reduces power needs for two 10Gb ports
10Gb dual-port FlexibleLOM adapter
The HP 562FLR-SFP is a 10Gb Ethernet card built for HPE ProLiant Gen8 rack and scale-out servers. It delivers two SFP+ optical-fibre ports on a single-chip FlexibleLOM module. The design targets high-performance computing, virtualization and consolidation workloads that demand maximum throughput. Aggregate bandwidth reaches 20Gb across both ports.
Thermals power and noise profile
A single-chip architecture lowers the power draw for two 10Gb links compared with earlier multi-chip designs. The adapter draws its power directly from the server's FlexibleLOM slot without auxiliary cables. Passive cooling is handled by the host chassis airflow, so the card adds no audible fan noise. Typical operating temperatures follow the server's own thermal envelope.
Build integration and slot requirements
Installation requires an available FlexibleLOM bay and a PCI Express 3.0 x8 electrical connection inside a compatible Gen8 server. Two SFP+ transceivers and matching fibre cables must be sourced separately for the optical links. The low-profile form factor leaves adjacent expansion slots unobstructed. SR-IOV support enables direct I/O virtualization for dense virtual-machine deployments.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 562FLR-SFP into a ProLiant Gen8 server, and which step is most often missed?
Insert the FlexibleLOM card into the dedicated motherboard slot until it clicks, then secure the retention latch; the step most often missed is seating both SFP+ transceivers before closing the chassis.
What maintenance or replacement will the 562FLR-SFP need over time?
The adapter itself has no moving parts; plan to replace SFP+ optics or fibre patch cords if link errors appear, and clean connector end-faces during scheduled server maintenance.
What limit appears first when the 562FLR-SFP runs sustained 10 Gb traffic on both ports?
The PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface caps aggregate throughput at 20 Gb/s, so the bus becomes the bottleneck before the dual-port controller does.
