About the AOC-A100G-B2CM
Supermicro AOC-A100G-b2CM: OCP 3.0 AIOM 2x 100GbE QSFP28 PCIe 4.0 x16 Broadcom BCM57508 is sold by Supermicro under product ID AOC-A100G-b2CM. It is a network adapter in the Supermicro option range and appears in the ordering or configuration tables of the vendor documents cited in the sources.

Compatibility
The Supermicro documents cited in the sources list AOC-A100G-b2CM as an option for Supermicro SYS-120C-TN10R. That listing is the only compatibility claim recorded here: the part is not assumed to fit other generations or other product lines of the same brand. Firmware, software, slot, backplane and controller requirements are set out in the vendor documentation for the specific product, and the vendor's compatibility tool should be checked before ordering a second-hand unit.
Buying used
Check the product ID on the label, the port count and speed, and that the bracket suits the chassis. Optical ports need compatible transceivers or cables, which are usually sold separately. Ask the seller for photos of the part number label, confirm the return terms, and test the part in a running system before accepting it. Prices vary with condition, so compare several listings for the exact product ID.

Works together
How the Supermicro AOC-A100G-B2CM connects to servers, storage and the network: 3 ways, with the hardware on each path.
iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet
Keep the speed the same at all three points: a 25GbE server, a 25GbE switch port and a 25GbE array port. Mixed speeds work but the slowest link sets the pace.
