Supermicro RSC-R2UU-2E4R 2 x Slots PCI Express x4 + UIO 2U Rizer Card

Product Description

The Supermicro RSC-R2UU-2E4R is a specialized riser card designed to enhance the expansion capabilities of Supermicro's 2U rackmount server chassis. This card is engineered to provide two PCI Express (PCIe) x4 slots, allowing for the installation of various add-in cards that require this specific interface. The PCIe x4 interface offers a good balance of bandwidth and cost-effectiveness for a wide range of peripherals, including network cards, storage controllers, and other I/O devices. A key feature of this riser card is its UIO (Upgradable I/O) support. UIO is Supermicro's proprietary standard that allows for flexible I/O configurations and easier upgrades within their server systems. This means the RSC-R2UU-2E4R is designed to be compatible with specific Supermicro motherboards that support the UIO form factor, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. This riser card is crucial for users who need to add specific functionality to their 2U Supermicro servers without compromising the chassis's compact form factor. It allows for the integration of essential components that might not be available as onboard features, thereby customizing the server for diverse applications such as networking, storage expansion, or specialized processing. The design prioritizes efficient use of space within the 2U enclosure while ensuring proper signal integrity for the installed PCIe x4 cards.
