Hi,

You can check FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module quickspecs here:

http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04154400.pdf

Ports X5 to X9 can be used either for 1 or 10Gb Ethernet (SFP+). According to the same document, this is the 1 Gb SFP supported:

HP BladeSystem c-Class Virtual Connect 1G SFP RJ-45 Transceiver 453154-B21

And yes, you will lose one stacking link port.

Regards,

Yes you will loose one stacking link, but it will work for sure.
