The hardware is an HP T740 (more of a thin client than a server) but it will work for my use. According to a google search the card (Emulex LPe16002e) will work in these systems.

These have a CPU fan but looking at the power draw and very and limited ASPM features of the Emulex card I'd guess it will get very toasty inside a T740.

I have a the following in an unused system:
Supermicro H11SSL-I motherboard
AMD Epyc 7551P 32 core cpu
96GB of memory
A 16x SATA slots free
Could I use this system to do NVMe over TCP?

I was thinking 16x 2TB drives and a 40GB mellanox adapters and connect to the HP T740s also with mellanox adapters.
Apologies for my curiosity. For what? And: Dedicated volumes for each? Shared storage? Both?
Unless the 16x 2TB drives are SSDs I'd strongly advise against using nvme-of. Stick with iSCSI/iSER.
If you're going with Melanox X-3 be aware that RoCE, the prerequisite for iSER, is most likely no longer possible with modern Linux distributions.

Actually, that works. Quite well, I might say. I’m using it as we speak.
Don‘t even need Mellanox drivers, the Inbox drivers work straight away.
