HPE 630FLB FlexFabric 20Gb Adapter

The HPE 630FLB FlexFabric adapter is a 20Gb Ethernet card built for HP BladeSystem c-Class Gen8 servers. It uses a FlexibleLOM form factor and a single-chip design that lowers power draw for two 20Gb ports. This network adapter targets administrators deploying virtualised workloads on supported blade platforms.

Practical limits of FlexibleLOM and PCIe x8

The card installs in a FlexibleLOM slot with a PCI Express x8 host interface, so it only fits blades that provide that specific connector. Bandwidth is capped at the 20Gb per port rating of the onboard controller. Environments without Virtual Connect FlexFabric interconnects cannot partition each port into four physical NICs for traffic isolation.

Dual-port 20Gb Ethernet for Gen8 blades

The decisive specification is the dual 20Gb Ethernet capability on a FlexibleLOM module qualified for Gen8 blade servers. Buyers needing higher port speeds, different form factors, or compatibility with later server generations must select a different adapter. This part suits fleets standardised on the 630FLB platform.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 20Gb 2-port 630FLB or a different capacity version?

The 630FLB FlexFabric adapter is offered as a single 20Gb 2-port configuration; no other capacity or port-count variants are listed for this model.

What does the 20Gb Ethernet rating mean once the adapter is installed in a Gen8 blade?

Each of the two ports delivers up to 20Gbps full-duplex throughput and can be split into four physical NICs through Virtual Connect FlexFabric for better bandwidth allocation in virtualised workloads.

Which host interface does the 630FLB use and what bandwidth limit does it impose?

The card plugs into a PCI Express x8 slot, so the host bus caps total throughput at the x8 lane rate.
