Supermicro RSC-R2UU-UE8

The Supermicro RSC-R2UU-UE8 is a dedicated server riser card engineered for use in compatible Supermicro 2U rackmount chassis and motherboard platforms. It is designed to provide horizontal PCIe expansion in space-constrained environments, allowing installation of add-in cards without increasing system height.

This riser card is typically used in data center, enterprise, and HPC infrastructures where density, reliability, and controlled airflow are critical. By relocating PCIe slots to a horizontal orientation, it helps maintain a low-profile 2U form factor while enabling the use of additional controllers or accelerator cards.

• Optimized for 2U servers – enables horizontal PCIe expansion in dense rackmount systems, improving space utilization in server racks.
• Enhanced airflow management – layout and orientation are designed to work with Supermicro chassis airflow patterns, helping maintain stable operating temperatures.
• Improved serviceability – simplifies access to PCIe add-in cards for maintenance and replacement without major system disassembly.
• Integration with Supermicro ecosystem – intended for use with specific Supermicro server platforms, supporting a consistent mechanical and electrical design.

Because detailed electrical specifications and exact slot configuration are not provided, the RSC-R2UU-UE8 should be selected and deployed according to the official Supermicro compatibility list and product documentation. This ensures correct mechanical fit, signal integrity, and reliable operation in production environments.

The riser card is suitable for scenarios such as expanding storage connectivity with additional controller cards, adding network adapters in high-throughput environments, or integrating specialized PCIe accelerators within the constraints of a 2U chassis.
