Sun 501-7965-01 PCI Express x16 Riser Board

Product Description

The Sun 501-7965-01 is a specialized riser board engineered by Sun Microsystems to provide expanded connectivity options within their server and workstation product lines. This riser board utilizes the PCI Express x16 interface, offering a high-bandwidth slot for the installation of various expansion cards, such as graphics cards, network adapters, or storage controllers. Its primary function is to enable the addition of such cards in systems where the physical layout or available space might otherwise prevent standard installation. This riser board is particularly useful in compact server chassis or workstations where internal space is at a premium. By redirecting or extending the PCIe x16 slot, it allows system integrators and administrators to add necessary functionality without requiring a larger chassis. The board is designed to maintain the integrity of the PCIe signal, ensuring reliable performance for the connected expansion card. It is an essential component for systems requiring modularity and the ability to accommodate specialized hardware. As an official Sun Microsystems part, the 501-7965-01 riser board is guaranteed to be compatible with the intended Sun systems. This ensures a seamless integration process and reliable operation. It represents a practical solution for enhancing the capabilities of Sun hardware, providing a pathway for future upgrades or the addition of specific hardware accelerators and peripherals.
