Questions & Answers
What is the HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560FLR-SFP+ Adapter (SKU: 665243-B21)?
The HPE 665243-B21 is a full-height, low-profile, dual-port 10 GbE network adapter with SFP+ interfaces designed for HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers.
What are the key features of the 560FLR-SFP+ Adapter?
Key features include two 10 GbE SFP+ ports, hardware offloads (TCP/UDP/IP, iSCSI, FCoE), Energy Efficient Ethernet, and a low-profile FlexibleLOM form factor.
Which HPE servers are compatible with SKU 665243-B21?
The adapter is supported on HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 rack and tower servers equipped with a FlexibleLOM slot, including DL360, DL380, ML350, and BL460 models.
What types of transceivers and cables does the adapter support?
It supports SFP+ SR (short reach) and LR (long reach) transceivers, active and passive direct-attach copper cables, and OM3/OM4 multimode fiber.
What network speeds are supported by the 560FLR-SFP+ Adapter?
The adapter delivers 10 GbE full-duplex performance on both ports and is backward compatible with 1 GbE when paired with compatible SFP modules.
How do I install the HPE 10Gb 2-port Adapter in my server?
Power off the server, open the chassis, insert the adapter into the FlexibleLOM slot, secure the latch, reinstall the chassis cover, and power on the server.
Does the adapter support SR-IOV and virtualization offloads?
Yes, it supports SR-IOV, VMware NetQueue, Microsoft VMQ, and hardware offloads for iSCSI and FCoE to optimize virtual machine performance.
Which operating systems are supported by SKU 665243-B21?
Supported OSes include HPE-certified editions of Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware ESXi, and Citrix XenServer.
What is the typical power consumption of the 10GbE adapter?
Under normal load, the adapter consumes approximately 5 W per port, with Energy Efficient Ethernet reducing power draw during idle periods.
How do I update the firmware on the HPE 560FLR-SFP+ Adapter?
Download the latest NIC firmware from HPE Support, then use HPE Smart Update Manager (SUM) or Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) to apply the update.
Can I manage the adapter through HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)?
Yes, iLO firmware provides health monitoring of the adapter ports, link status, and traffic statistics via the iLO web interface or RESTful API.
Do I need an HPE Smart Array controller to use this network adapter?
No. The 560FLR-SFP+ is a standalone network interface card and functions independently of HPE Smart Array storage controllers.
What common use cases are ideal for this adapter?
Use cases include high-performance virtualization, database clustering, vSAN and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI), and low-latency storage networking.
What warranty coverage does SKU 665243-B21 include?
HPE provides a limited lifetime warranty with coverage for defects in materials and workmanship, along withWorldwide Parts Exchange service.
How does the 560FLR-SFP+ Adapter differ from a standard PCIe 10GbE NIC?
Unlike standard PCIe NICs, this FlexibleLOM adapter integrates directly into HPE server motherboards, enabling optimal airflow and cable management.
What best practices ensure maximum performance from the adapter?
Use HPE-qualified firmware, select correct SFP+ modules, enable offloads (TCP/IP, iSCSI), balance traffic across both ports, and monitor via iLO or network management tools.
