FAQs

Q: When should I choose Riser 2B over 2A?
A: Select 2B when you need a 3-slot layout with GPU support and rear NVMe enablement per your chassis and backplane configuration.

Q: Does this riser alone provide NVMe ports?
A: The riser enables connectivity paths; actual NVMe ports require the correct backplane, cabling, and controllers supported by the system.

Q: Is the center x16 slot electrically x16?
A: Mechanical x16 is present, but electrical lanes depend on CPU and motherboard mapping. Consult the server PCIe lane map for exact bandwidth.

Q: Are special power cables needed for GPUs?
A: Yes, most GPUs need auxiliary power cables and possibly brackets specific to the chassis.

Q: Can I mix NICs, HBAs, and GPUs on this riser?
A: Yes, provided the thermal, power, and qualification requirements are met.
