## Summary description

The HPE Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module for c-Class BladeSystem is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch module that supports IEEE networking standards. It features SNMP management, compatibility with BladeSystem c3000 and c7000, and has a typical power consumption of 70 W. Its compact dimensions of 270 x 352.6 x 120.7 mm and lightweight design of 2 kg make it an efficient choice for data centers.

## Long description

The HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module for c-Class BladeSystem provides converged fabric connectivity at the server edge for enterprise and data center environments. Designed to work with HP FlexFabric adapters, the module aggregates traffic over 10Gb links and offers flexible bandwidth allocation to each server port, simplifying cabling and reducing the number of required upstream switches and cables.
Advantages
The module delivers four adjustable connections per 10Gb server port (three data and one storage, or four data), enabling administrators to allocate bandwidth according to workload needs. Virtual Connect wire-once management reduces time for server adds, moves and replacements from days to minutes. Convergence inside the enclosure and direct connection to an upstream FCoE bridge remove the need for multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches, extension modules and extra cabling.
Key specifications
Converged 10Gb connectivity for c-Class BladeSystem
Four adjustable connections per 10Gb server port (three data + one storage, or four data)
Thirty module ports providing an effective full-duplex bandwidth of 600Gb
Ten dedicated SFP+ uplink ports (configurable as 1Gb or 10Gb)
Support for Virtual Connect wire-once connection management
Dual-hop FCoE support for propagating FCoE traffic outside the enclosure
Min/Max Bandwidth Optimization and Priority Queue QoS (introduced in VC 4.01)
How to use
Install the Flex-10/10D module into a c-Class BladeSystem enclosure and connect HP FlexFabric server adapters to the module’s 10Gb server ports. Use the Virtual Connect management console to configure connection templates, adjust per-port bandwidth allocations and set QoS priorities. For FCoE deployments, connect the module uplinks to an FCoE-capable bridge to enable dual-hop FCoE. Routine server additions, moves or replacements are performed through the management interface without manual rewiring.
Recommendations
Use the Flex-10/10D module when you need to reduce server-edge network sprawl, consolidate Ethernet and FCoE traffic, and centrally manage per-server bandwidth. Ensure servers use supported HP FlexFabric adapters and update Virtual Connect firmware to a release that includes Min/Max bandwidth and Priority Queue QoS features (VC 4.01 or later) for full functionality.
