Paswny Riser Supermicro 2U RHS 1xPCI-E 3.0 x16 R2UG-E16R-X9

The Supermicro R2UG-E16R-X9 is a passive riser card designed for 2U server platforms that require reliable PCI Express 3.0 x16 expansion on the right-hand side (RHS). It provides a direct PCI-E x16 to PCI-E x16 connection, enabling high-bandwidth communication for GPU or other full-height expansion cards in compatible 2U chassis.

Key technical characteristics

• Form factor: 2U riser card for compatible Supermicro 2U chassis
• Slot position: RHS (right-hand side) installation
• Interface standard: PCI Express 3.0
• Input connector: PCI-E x16
• Output slot: PCI-E x16 for add-in card installation
• GPU support: Yes, designed to support GPU expansion cards
• NVMe support: Not supported
• M.2 support: Not supported
• Thermal sensor: Not available
• Auto-detection: Not supported

Functional advantages

• Dedicated GPU expansion: Provides a stable PCI-E 3.0 x16 path for GPU accelerators in 2U servers, enabling compute, visualization or acceleration workloads depending on the system configuration.
• Optimized for 2U layout: RHS orientation allows integration in chassis designed for right-hand side riser mounting, supporting efficient internal cable routing and airflow planning.
• Passive design: No active components or additional management functions, reducing potential failure points and simplifying integration.
• Clear feature scope: Focused exclusively on PCI-E x16 expansion without NVMe, M.2 or sensor circuitry, which can simplify compatibility validation in environments where only GPU or standard PCI-E cards are required.

This riser card is intended for use in compatible 2U Supermicro server platforms where a right-hand side PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot is needed, particularly for GPU deployment. Before installation, it is recommended to verify mechanical and electrical compatibility with the specific chassis and motherboard model.
