Fujitsu riser card PCIe with 2 full-height slots (x8) — expansion board for server chassis

Fujitsu riser card PCIe with 2 full-height slots (x8) — expansion board for server chassis provides two full-height PCI Express slots each operating at x8 lane width. It is intended to increase internal PCIe expansion capacity in compatible Fujitsu server chassis, allowing installation of standard full-height add-in cards such as network adapters, storage controllers and accelerator cards. The board is a hardware option for system upgrades, repairs and custom configurations where additional full-height PCIe connectivity is needed.

Advantages

This riser card offers two full-height PCIe x8 slots in a single expansion board, conserving motherboard rear I/O space while expanding internal card options. Designed for compatibility with specific Fujitsu server chassis, the board supports standard full-height cards without requiring riser modifications. The component enables straightforward installation and replacement during maintenance cycles and reduces the need for external adapters when adding network, storage or compute acceleration cards.

Suitable for

• Adding dual full-height PCIe expansion cards to compatible Fujitsu server chassis
• Upgrading server connectivity with additional network or storage controller cards
• Installing accelerator or GPU cards where x8 lane width is sufficient
• Field maintenance and replacement of failed or missing riser modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: riser expansion board for internal server chassis
• Slot count: 2 full-height PCI Express slots
• Lane width: x8 per slot (PCIe lanes operating at eight lanes)
• Interface: PCI Express standard electrical interface (server internal connection)
• Compatibility: designed for use in compatible Fujitsu server chassis that accept this riser type
• Cooling: passive, reliant on chassis airflow for thermal management

How to use

Install the riser card into the designated riser bay in the compatible Fujitsu server chassis following the server manufacturer’s hardware service instructions. Power down the server and disconnect power before removing the chassis cover. Align the board with the chassis riser slot and secure it with the provided fasteners or thumbscrews. After seating the riser, install full-height PCIe cards into the riser slots, ensuring proper retention and connection. Reassemble the chassis, restore power, and verify that the system firmware and operating system recognize the newly added cards.

Usage recommendations

Verify chassis compatibility and firmware requirements in the Fujitsu server documentation before purchase. Use cards that conform to full-height dimensions and x8 electrical requirements. Maintain proper chassis airflow and follow anti-static handling procedures during installation to ensure reliable operation.
