Figure 9. HP SFP+ module with copper cabling

The SFP+ with copper cabling can be used with the SFP+ ports on the Flex-10 Enet module and is

thinner than CX4 cabling. This cable configuration is ideal for stacking modules within an enclosure.

Fiber Optic uplink cables can be sourced from third-party vendors who meet industry-standard

specifications for Ethernet cable types. Cable distances are best case based on fiber core

specifications.

For listings of all Flex-10 compliant cables, connectors, and transceiver modules, please see Table A2

in the appendix.

VC support for Flex-10

The goal of VC support is to extend to Flex-10 and FlexNICs the full range of services and

management capabilities associated with server NIC operation.

For optimal operation of HP Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) with Flex-10, administrators should

install the recommended firmware versions of the VCM, OA, and iLO firmware. The latest information

on firmware compatibility can be found at

compmatrix.html

VC is able to set the FlexNIC MAC address and transmit bandwidth and assign each FlexNIC to a

Virtual Connect network (vNet). When a Flex-10 NIC device is connected to an HP VC Flex-10

Ethernet Module (interconnect), it will enumerate four FlexNICs per port (eight total FlexNICs).
