Dual-port 10Gb server adapter

The HPE 554FLR-SFP+ is a dual-port 10Gb Ethernet network card built for HP ProLiant Gen8 rack servers. It delivers Ethernet and iSCSI or Ethernet and FCoE connectivity over 10GbE using CEE standards. The card uses a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface and accepts SFP+ optical fiber transceivers.

SFP+ optical transceivers required

The adapter ships without transceivers, so two SFP+ modules and matching fiber patch cables must be sourced separately. This lets you choose single-mode or multi-mode optics to suit the link distance and existing cabling plant. Without populated SFP+ ports the card cannot pass traffic.

FlexibleLOM installation in Gen8 racks

The card uses the proprietary FlexibleLOM form factor and installs directly into the dedicated mezzanine slot on supported ProLiant Gen8 motherboards, requiring no standard PCIe bracket. Compatibility is limited to the validated Gen8 server list; it will not fit Gen9, Gen10 or non-HPE chassis. Ensure the server BIOS and firmware are current before installation.

Questions about this item

Will the SFP+ transceivers need to be replaced as optical modules age?

The adapter uses standard SFP+ cages; optical transceivers are separate modules that can be swapped individually when they reach end of life.

Does the PCI Express 2.0 x8 host link cap total throughput under sustained 10 GbE loads?

The card connects via a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, which provides the host bandwidth for both 10GbE ports.

How much heat does the FlexibleLOM card add to a ProLiant Gen8 server running all day?

The 554FLR-SFP+ is a FlexibleLOM form-factor adapter designed for ProLiant Gen8 servers; thermal management is handled by the server chassis airflow.
