Intel 2U 3-Slot Riser Card 1 FCP2URISER1STD

The Intel 2U 3-Slot Riser Card FCP2URISER1STD is a specialized server component designed to optimize internal space within 2U rackmount chassis configurations. This riser card enables the expansion of PCIe connectivity, allowing users to install multiple expansion cards in a compact server environment where vertical space is limited. Engineered by Intel, this component ensures high reliability and seamless hardware integration for compatible server systems, maintaining stable performance for critical data center operations.

Advantages

This riser card provides a robust solution for increasing the functional capacity of a server without requiring a larger chassis. By facilitating the horizontal orientation of expansion cards, it maximizes the utility of the 2U form factor. The design focuses on maintaining signal integrity and thermal efficiency, which are essential for high-performance server environments. Its precise engineering ensures that it fits securely within designated Intel server systems, reducing the risk of mechanical interference and ensuring long-term operational stability.

Suitable for

• Expanding PCIe connectivity in 2U rackmount servers
• Adding network interface cards or storage controllers
• Optimizing internal airflow and component layout in server chassis
• Upgrading server hardware capabilities within existing infrastructure

This riser card is not suitable for use in non-Intel server chassis or systems that do not explicitly support this specific riser configuration. It is also not intended for desktop computers or standard tower workstations, as the physical dimensions and connector alignment are strictly optimized for 2U rackmount server environments.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 2U rackmount
• Slot count: 3 PCIe slots
• Compatibility: Specific Intel server systems
• Function: PCIe expansion and orientation

To install the riser card, ensure the server is powered down and disconnected from all power sources. Open the server chassis and locate the designated riser slot on the motherboard. Carefully align the riser card with the slot and press firmly until it is fully seated. Once installed, insert your expansion cards into the available slots on the riser. Secure the assembly using the provided mounting screws and ensure all connections are tight before closing the chassis and restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your specific Intel server model
• Check the physical space requirements within your 2U chassis
• Ensure your expansion cards are compatible with the PCIe slot configuration
• Confirm that your server power supply can handle the additional load of new expansion cards

Usage recommendations: Always handle the riser card by its edges to avoid electrostatic discharge or damage to the delicate pins. Regularly inspect the connections during routine server maintenance to ensure that the riser remains securely seated and free from dust accumulation.
