Riser karta INTEL FCP1URISER2KIT pre 1U server – konfigurácia 1-slot na 2-slot

The INTEL FCP1URISER2KIT riser card for 1U servers converts a single expansion bay into a two-slot configuration, enabling installation of additional PCIe cards within a compact chassis. Designed for use in 1U server environments, this riser allows administrators to add network, storage, or accelerator cards where chassis height would otherwise limit expansion. The product is intended for systems compatible with the specified Intel riser solution and integrates into server architectures that accept the corresponding riser interface.

Advantages

The riser card increases available expansion capacity while preserving the low-profile form factor of 1U servers. It enables installation of two low-profile expansion cards in the space of a single slot opening, providing a practical route to add functionality without replacing the server chassis. The design supports common expansion card types used for networking, storage controllers, and accelerators, facilitating better utilization of server slots in dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Adding additional network interface cards in 1U rack servers
• Installing storage controller or host bus adapter cards where chassis space is limited
• Integrating accelerator or offload cards in compact server configurations
• Expanding I/O capacity in data center and edge servers with 1U form factor

Key specifications

• Form factor: riser card for 1U server chassis
• Slot configuration: converts 1-slot bay to a 2-slot arrangement (low-profile cards)
• Compatibility: intended for systems that accept the specified Intel riser interface
• Use cases: supports installation of network, storage, and accelerator expansion cards

How to use

Install the riser card into the server’s designated riser slot or mounting area following the server manufacturer's instructions. Secure the riser in place, then insert low-profile expansion cards into the two available slots of the riser. Ensure proper seating and connect any auxiliary power or internal cabling required by the installed expansion cards. Verify BIOS/firmware settings and operating system recognition of newly installed devices after powering the server on.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your server model and firmware before installation, and use low-profile expansion cards intended for 1U systems. Follow ESD-safe handling procedures and the server vendor’s service manual for secure mounting and cabling. After installation, check system diagnostics to ensure the added cards are detected and operating correctly.
