FAQs

Q: What is the difference between Riser 2A and 2B?
A: Riser 2A provides a 3-slot layout with x8/x16/x16 lane positions and is commonly selected for GPU-centric builds. Riser 2B offers a different lane layout and rear NVMe enablement.

Q: How many GPUs can this riser support?
A: Support depends on server configuration, power cabling, cooling, and specific GPU qualification. Refer to platform configuration guides for GPU quantities and models.

Q: Are all slots electrically x16?
A: Mechanical slots include x16 connectors, but electrical lanes are platform-dependent. Refer to the server's PCIe lane mapping for exact electrical bandwidth.

Q: Does it require additional power cables for GPUs?
A: Yes, most GPUs require auxiliary power cables and brackets specific to the server.

Q: Can I populate networking and storage cards alongside a GPU?
A: Yes, provided thermal and power limits are observed and the cards are on the server’s compatibility list.
