FlexNICs

The 10Gb Flex-10 LOM and mezzanine cards are dual 10Gb port cords. The BL495c G5 server with
Flex-10-capable LOM is shown in Figure 6, and the HP NC532m Flex-10 10GbE Network Adapter is
shown in Figure 7. Each 10Gb server port can be configured from one to a maximum of four
individual FlexNICs and up to eight FlexNICs for each dual port LOM or mezzanine card. The server
ROM and the operating system or hypervisor recognize each FlexNIC as an individual NIC. The user
defines each FlexNIC's bandwidth from 100Mb to 10Gb in 100Mb increments.
