FLR stands for FlexibleLOM Rack adapter. It's HP proprietary LOM (LAN on Motherboard) slot standard.
The FLR cards for older generations of servers are much cheaper than PCIe versions because they only can be used with those older HP servers.

I just need one SFP socket per card and need about 14 cards. Is there a card you recommend which will work well HP 360 G9 servers?

Oh really. I'm still a bit confused. One of my G9's already has a 560 SFP+, so you are saying that I can connect the 560FLR-SFP+ in the same slot?

Also, I have a few G8's as well. Will the FLR's work on them as well in the same slot?

I ordered two and the arista switch to test things out. Any recommendations on what transceivers to get?

Also what transreciever to get for the RJ45 1gig connection.

Thanks.
