HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Networking Adapters
Genuine HPE network adapters for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10, new and refurbished. Gen10 networking comes in three layers: the embedded 4 × 1GbE on standard models, the FlexibleLOM slot supporting NICs up to 25GbE, and PCIe stand-up cards.
DL360 Gen10 Networking Specifications
- Embedded: 4 × 1GbE on standard models (Networking Choice models ship without embedded NICs)
- FlexibleLOM slot: supports various NICs up to 25GbE — 1GbE, 10GbE BASE-T/SFP+, and 10/25GbE SFP28 options
- PCIe stand-up: additional adapters across the same speed range
FlexibleLOM, not OCP. The DL360 Gen10's modular NIC slot takes FlexibleLOM cards (options up to 25GbE) — OCP 3.0 adapters from Gen10 Plus and later do not fit.
Which network adapter fits the DL360 Gen10?
| Layer | Speeds | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Embedded 4 × 1GbE | 1GbE | Standard models; management + light traffic |
| FlexibleLOM | 1GbE to 10/25GbE SFP28 | Primary NIC without consuming a PCIe slot |
| PCIe adapters | 1GbE to 10/25GbE | Expansion beyond the FlexibleLOM |
Choosing the Right DL360 Gen10 Network Adapter
- FlexibleLOM is Gen10-specific: OCP 3.0 cards from Gen10 Plus and later do not fit, and vice versa.
- Use the FlexibleLOM slot first — PCIe slots are scarce in 1U.
- Match the media to your fabric: BASE-T for existing copper; SFP+/SFP28 with DACs or optics ordered separately.
- 10/25GbE SFP28 is the sensible ceiling for most Gen10 roles.

DL360 Gen10 Networking Adapters FAQ
Does the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 have built-in Ethernet ports?
Standard models include an embedded 4 x 1GbE adapter; Networking Choice (NC) models ship without embedded NICs and take a FlexibleLOM instead.
What is a FlexibleLOM adapter?
HPE's Gen10-era modular NIC that slots into a dedicated bay, providing primary network ports without consuming a PCIe slot - the DL360 Gen10's slot supports options up to 25GbE.
Can I use an OCP 3.0 adapter in the DL360 Gen10?
No - OCP 3.0 arrived with the Gen10 Plus. The DL360 Gen10 takes FlexibleLOM cards plus standard PCIe adapters; the two modular formats are not interchangeable.
Do SFP+ and SFP28 adapters include transceivers?
No - the part number covers the card only. Order DAC cables or optics matched to your switch separately; BASE-T adapters use standard copper patch cables.
What is the fastest networking option for the DL360 Gen10?
The FlexibleLOM slot supports NICs up to 25GbE, and 10/25GbE SFP28 adapters are available in both FlexibleLOM and PCIe forms - the sensible ceiling for most of this platform's roles.
