Dell 064KRN 1 x 16 PCI Riser Card for PowerEdge R740

Description

The Dell 064KRN is a specialized riser card for the Dell PowerEdge R740 server, offering a single PCI Express (PCIe) slot configured for a 1x16 physical card. This configuration provides the maximum bandwidth available from a standard PCIe slot, making it suitable for high-performance adapter cards that require extensive data throughput. Such cards can include high-end graphics processing units (GPUs) for compute-intensive tasks, advanced network interface cards (NICs) for high-speed networking, or specialized data acquisition cards. Server riser cards are critical for enabling expansion in compact server chassis like the 2U PowerEdge R740. They allow for the efficient use of internal space by mounting expansion cards vertically or horizontally, connecting them to the motherboard's PCIe lanes. The 1x16 slot is particularly valuable for applications that are bandwidth-sensitive, ensuring that the peripheral device is not bottlenecked by the interface. By installing the Dell 064KRN riser card, IT professionals can equip their PowerEdge R740 servers with powerful peripherals that significantly extend their capabilities. This is essential for workloads such as machine learning, scientific simulations, high-frequency trading, or advanced video processing, where the performance of the expansion card is paramount. The riser card ensures proper installation and connectivity for these demanding components.
