Dell T7H04 Riser Board 3 for PowerEdge R620

Product Description

The Dell T7H04 is identified as Riser Board 3 for the Dell PowerEdge R620 server. In server architecture, riser boards are essential components that allow for the expansion of Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) slots within the constrained space of a server chassis. The PowerEdge R620, being a 1U rack server, often relies on riser boards to provide multiple PCIe slots that are not directly available on the motherboard, enabling greater hardware customization and functionality. This specific riser board, Riser 3, is designed to integrate seamlessly into the PowerEdge R620's system board and chassis. It provides the necessary physical and electrical connections to support one or more PCIe adapter cards. These cards can range from network interface cards (NICs) for enhanced connectivity, storage controllers for managing hard drives and SSDs, RAID controllers for data protection, to other specialized hardware accelerators required for specific workloads. The Dell T7H04 riser board is crucial for administrators looking to upgrade or configure their PowerEdge R620 server with additional hardware capabilities. It ensures that the server can be adapted to meet diverse application requirements, such as increased network throughput, improved storage performance, or the addition of specialized processing units. Proper installation of this riser board is vital for maintaining system stability, ensuring proper airflow for cooling, and achieving optimal performance from the installed expansion cards.
