Bye  Bye Flexible LOM, Hello OCP Adapters

As HPE is transitioning to the new Gen10 Plus models for the new Intel Ice Lake chipset, they are also abandoning their proprietary FLR or FlexibleLOM adapters and instead servers will need to utilize OCP or Open Compute Project adapters. Like the FLR, the OCP adapter has it’s own dedicated mezzanine connector which essentially takes the place of the embedded 4x1Gbe NIC on the previous generation of Embedded LOM Gen10 servers.

Component #1 is the connector for the OCP Adapter which would lie right under the secondary riser, if applicable.  Below is a link to reference documentation

Here are the new HPE OCP Adapters:
