Aktywny Riser Supermicro 2xPCI-E 3.0 x8 GR-A88

The Aktywny Riser Supermicro 2xPCI-E 3.0 x8 GR-A88 is an active riser card designed for high-density 1U server platforms that require reliable GPU expansion. It provides two PCI-E 3.0 x8 output slots from a PCI-E x8 input, enabling flexible deployment of add-in cards in space-constrained chassis.

Engineered for right-hand-side (RHS) slot position, this riser optimizes signal integrity and mechanical alignment in compatible 1U enclosures. The active design helps maintain stable PCI-E 3.0 bandwidth, which is critical for GPU workloads and other high-throughput adapters.

• Form factor & integration: Dedicated for 1U chassis with RHS slot layout, allowing horizontal installation of expansion cards in low-profile server environments.
• Interface configuration: PCI-E x8 input to dual PCI-E 3.0 x8 outputs, supporting modern GPU adapters and other PCI-E devices that require consistent throughput.
• GPU support: Explicit support for GPU cards, making the riser suitable for compute, visualization, or acceleration nodes built on 1U platforms.
• Monitoring & control: Integrated thermal sensor enables temperature monitoring of the riser area, supporting better thermal management and system reliability.
• Automatic detection: Auto-detection capability simplifies system configuration, allowing the platform to recognize the riser and attached devices without complex manual setup.
• Focused design: No NVMe or M.2 support, ensuring the layout and signal routing are dedicated to PCI-E GPU and similar expansion cards.

This riser is intended for administrators and integrators building GPU-enabled 1U servers who need a technically robust, space-efficient expansion solution with monitoring features for controlled thermal conditions and stable PCI-E 3.0 operation.
