Intel 3-Slot PCI-Express x8 Riser Card with Metal Bracket for Intel Server Systems. P/N: H20087-171.

This is a genuine Intel 3-Slot PCI-Express (PCIe) x8 Riser Card with Metal Bracket (P/N: H18286-004A, H20084-001, H51998-001, H20087-171). This riser card is an essential component for expanding the I/O capabilities of compatible Intel Server Systems, particularly in space-constrained rackmount chassis. It allows you to vertically install up to three PCI-e x8 expansion cards into a single horizontal slot on the motherboard, maximizing the use of available server real estate. The included metal bracket ensures secure mounting and proper airflow within the server chassis.

Key Features

• Genuine Intel Part: Guarantees perfect compatibility, reliable performance, and seamless integration with a range of Intel Server Systems.

• 3x PCI-e x8 Slots: Provides three physical PCI Express x8 slots, enabling the installation of multiple expansion cards such as network adapters, RAID controllers, HBAs, or specialized accelerators.

• PCI-e Standard: Supports the PCI Express standard (specific generation, e.g., Gen2 or Gen3, depends on the server's motherboard and the riser's design), ensuring high-speed data transfer for demanding applications.

• Space-Saving Design: Riser cards are crucial in 1U or 2U rackmount servers where direct vertical installation of full-height/length cards isn't possible. This card optimizes chassis space.

• Included Metal Bracket: Comes with a sturdy metal bracket for secure installation, proper grounding, and efficient airflow management within the server chassis.

• Expandable I/O: Crucial for adding specialized I/O capabilities beyond what's integrated into the motherboard, enhancing the server's functionality and versatility.
