The HP 560FLR FlexibleLOM support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault
tolerance and increased network bandwidth, The team of adapters can work together as a single virtual
adapter. The HP 560FLR provides support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators
to optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.
The HP 560FLR FlexibleLOM can be administered from HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM). The adapters
can be managed individually or in teams, providing SNMP based statistics for reporting purposes. The HP
560FLR adapter can also be managed by other applications with SNMP support.
The HP 560FLR FlexibleLOM is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HP ProLiant
servers. HP validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based
enterprise management utilities including HP Intelligent Provisioning and HP Systems Insight Manager
that simplify network management.
This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other venders
and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters.
Each HP 560FLR ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user
to enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming. This includes a patented teaming GUI for
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for scripted installations of teams in a
Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.
The colored LEDs on each port of the HP 560FLR adapter indicate link status and link activity.
PXE allows the server to boot over the network and download software residing in the network. The HP
560FLR supports PXE.
Support for HP's Sea of Sensors which is a collection of 32 sensors that automatically track thermal
activity - heat - across the server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can kick on fans and make
other adjustments to reduce energy usage. What makes it better is the upgrade from all six fans kicking on
at one time to a new system where only one kicks on - the one in proximity of the area that started heating
up - thus reducing the amount of energy used for cooling.
Supports HP Active Health System monitors and records changes in the server hardware and configuration
enabling customers to have accurate information that will assist in diagnosing problems and delivering
rapid resolution when server failures occur.
