HP Flex-10 for Virtual Connect With adoption of 10GbE, the problem is not bandwidth; it LAN on Motherboard (LOM) devices and mezzanine cards that support up to four FlexNICs on each port.

Mapping is supported on current VC, non-Flex-10, 1G NICs as well. Server VLAN mapping support extends to the individual FlexNICs in the Flex-10 environment. Flex-10 Components Flex-10 technology hardware consists of three components, the 10Gb Flex-10 LOM, the 10Gb Flex10 mezzanine card, and the HP - Compaq BL10e | HP Flex-10 technology - Page 10
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.
