Supermicro RSC-R2UE-A3E8

Supermicro RSC-R2UE-A3E8 is a dedicated server riser card engineered for use in compatible Supermicro systems. It allows horizontal installation of expansion cards in 2U rackmount chassis, improving space utilization and enabling flexible system configuration.

By routing PCI Express signals from the motherboard to additional slots, this riser card supports the deployment of performance-critical adapters such as network, storage or accelerator cards, depending on system compatibility.

• Optimized for 2U rack servers – designed for horizontal card mounting to fit constrained rack environments while preserving airflow paths.
• Stable mechanical integration – form factor and mounting points adapted to selected Supermicro chassis, helping to ensure secure seating of expansion cards.
• Signal path optimization – engineered routing for PCIe connectivity within supported platforms, contributing to consistent performance and reliability.
• Flexible expansion – enables use of additional PCIe add‑in cards (type and number depend on the exact server and motherboard model).

Application

This riser card is intended for system integrators and administrators building or upgrading Supermicro rack servers where vertical PCIe slots are not feasible. It is suitable for data center, hosting, or appliance-style deployments that require compact yet expandable configurations.

Implementation notes

• Check server and motherboard compatibility in official Supermicro documentation before installation.
• Verify mechanical clearance and power requirements of all planned expansion cards.
• Use in accordance with chassis airflow design to maintain proper cooling performance.

As this is a specialized component for Supermicro platforms, always refer to the server’s hardware compatibility list and installation guides to ensure correct integration.
