FAQs

Q: How many add-in cards can this riser support?
A: Up to three half-height, half-length PCIe cards, each wired for PCIe Gen3 x8 (subject to system design).

Q: Does this riser by itself add NVMe support?
A: It provides the slot and routing needed, but NVMe requires a compatible chassis backplane and cables.

Q: Is cabling included?
A: No, any required backplane or NVMe cables are typically sold separately.

Q: How do I confirm fitment?
A: Match your server’s generation, form factor, and riser position (2C) in the platform compatibility guide.
