PCIe 4.0 Riser Card INTEL FCP2URISER1DW for server and workstation expansion

Intel FCP2URISER1DW is a PCIe 4.0 riser card engineered to provide additional or relocated PCIe expansion slots for servers and workstations. It allows installation of full‑length PCIe 4.0 devices in systems where motherboard space, slot orientation, or chassis layout prevents direct mounting. The riser supports high‑bandwidth peripherals such as GPUs, RAID controllers and network interface cards while maintaining PCIe 4.0 signal integrity and throughput.

Advantages

The riser card enables flexible hardware placement without altering the motherboard layout and preserves PCIe 4.0 performance for demanding workloads. Its design simplifies upgrades and system reconfiguration by providing a reliable extension of available PCIe slots, reducing the need for larger motherboards or chassis. The product supports high data transfer rates and is suitable for professional server and workstation environments where stable connectivity and signal quality are essential.

Suitable for

• Adding or relocating GPUs in servers and workstations
• Installing RAID controller cards where direct motherboard slots are unavailable
• Connecting high‑speed NICs and other PCIe 4.0 peripherals
• System upgrades and hardware reconfiguration in constrained chassis

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express 4.0 compatible
• Form factor: riser card designed for server and workstation chassis
• Purpose: adds or relocates PCIe expansion slots to accommodate full‑size expansion cards
• Bandwidth: supports PCIe 4.0 data rates for high‑performance devices
• Compatibility: intended for use with modern server and workstation motherboards that support PCIe 4.0

How to use

Install the riser card into the appropriate PCIe connector or mounting point as specified by the server or workstation manufacturer, ensuring correct orientation and secure fastening. Connect the desired PCIe device to the riser’s expansion slot and verify that any required power connections to the expansion card are made. After physical installation, power on the system and check BIOS/firmware settings to confirm the motherboard recognizes the extended slot. Install or update device drivers as needed in the operating system.

Usage recommendations

Use the riser in systems that explicitly support PCIe 4.0 to obtain full bandwidth. Ensure proper cooling and cable routing in the chassis to maintain signal integrity and thermal performance. Follow the server or workstation manufacturer’s installation guidelines and observe electrostatic discharge precautions during handling and installation.
