Product Description
The Dell K8987 PCI-X Riser Board is an expansion component specifically designed for the PowerEdge 2850 server. This riser board allows administrators to add or upgrade peripheral cards that utilize the PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended) interface. PCI-X offers significantly higher bandwidth compared to standard PCI, making it suitable for demanding devices like high-speed network adapters, Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), and advanced storage controllers. This riser board provides the necessary physical slots and electrical connections to integrate PCI-X cards into the server's architecture. It is engineered to ensure a stable and reliable connection, crucial for the high-speed data transfers that PCI-X enables. The K8987 is designed to fit precisely within the PowerEdge 2850 chassis, maintaining proper airflow and structural integrity. By utilizing the K8987 riser board, users can extend the capabilities of their PowerEdge 2850 servers, accommodating legacy PCI-X hardware or integrating high-performance peripherals that require the bandwidth offered by this bus standard. It is an important component for maintaining compatibility with existing infrastructure or for enhancing the server's performance for specific I/O-intensive tasks.
