Flexi Port Slots

Introduction

Time slot management offers the possibility of offering different types of time slots. For example, with allocation, the type of goods, the contract details, the carrier can be taken into account to accommodate more flexible and varying requirements. As such, regular time slots have delivery dates for specific carriers. Each port is composed of 5 pieces: two flared ends (the outside flare is a little wider than the inside one), one 4' diameter tube, and two identical collars which connect the flared ends to the tube. Hardware Specification Copper Ports (Gbps) - 10 SFP - 4, Flexi Slots - 8 USB 3.0 Ports - 2 Console RJ45 Port - 1 Throughput - 106 Gbps. – Slot (slot based scheduling). 14 OFDM symbols. One possible scheduling unit - Slot aggregation allowed. Slot length scales with the subcarrier spacing - 𝑆 𝑡 𝑡ℎ=1 Τ 2𝜇 – Mini-Slot (non-slot based scheduling). 7, 4 or 2 OFDM symbols. Minimum scheduling unit 1 2 0 k H z S L O T 1 4 s y m 2 5 0 µ s 6 0. The PI7C9X2G312GP provides one upstream port supporting x4, and two downstream ports that support x4 operation. The flexible upstream port provides users the flexibility to expand or fan-out from a wide range of x86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC SoC/ Chipset, and it is a suitable solution for Embedded, Storage.

Within this short article, we will answer the question: What is a FlexibleLOM?
First of all, What is a LOM?

LOM

LOM (LAN on motherboard) refers to a chip or chipset capable of network connections that have been embedded directly on the motherboard of a desktop, workstation or server. Instead of requiring a separate network interface card to access a local-area network, such as Ethernet, the circuits are attached to the motherboard. An advantage of a LOM system is an extra available PCI slot that is not being used by the network adapter.^[1]

One of the downsides to LOM, i.e an integrated NIC upon the system board, is that if a user required a different kind of networking adapter, they would need to purchase a PCI adapter and install it in a slot in the server. However, this consumed mezzanine or PCI slots which reduced the flexibility to add additional cards.
HPE's FlexibleLOM uses a system board edge connector that accepts a FlexibleLOM adapter. Therefore providing you with the ability to customize the servers network adapters based on the various adapter models (aka flavours) available by HPE.

Figure 2 - FlexibleLOM^[3]

There are 2 main types of FlexibleLOM - FLB and FLR:

FLB (FlexibleLOM Blade) - The FLB adapter installs as a daughter card on the server blade board.^[4]

Figure 3- FLB.^[5]

FLR (FlexibleLOM Rack) - The FLR adapter for rack mount servers connects to the system board. As with traditional LOM implementations, HPE FLR adapter's network connectors are accessible through the rear panel of the server chassis.^[6]
