Supermicro RSC-R1UTP-E16R Expansion Card

The Supermicro RSC-R1UTP-E16R is an expansion riser card engineered for Supermicro server platforms, enabling structured integration of additional PCIe devices in space-constrained rack systems. It is designed for environments where reliability, serviceability and predictable airflow are critical.

This riser is typically used in 1U or similarly compact chassis to provide an additional expansion slot without compromising on system layout or cable management. By relocating the PCIe interface, it helps optimize internal space usage and supports more flexible hardware configurations in dense deployments.

• Optimized for Supermicro servers – designed for compatibility with selected Supermicro chassis and motherboards, supporting standardized installation and maintenance workflows.
• Efficient space utilization – enables horizontal mounting of expansion cards in low-profile enclosures, improving density in rack-mounted systems.
• Improved serviceability – structured routing and defined mounting points simplify field replacement and upgrades in data center environments.
• Enterprise-oriented design – suitable for applications such as virtualization hosts, storage servers, and network appliances where additional adapter cards are required.

Use the RSC-R1UTP-E16R when you need to expand a compatible Supermicro platform with additional controllers (for example network, storage or accelerator cards) while maintaining strict mechanical and airflow constraints of a 1U or compact chassis. For precise electrical specifications, supported PCIe version, and validated chassis/motherboard combinations, refer to the official Supermicro documentation for this specific model.
