Expand Your System’s Potential with Lenovo Riser Cards

Lenovo riser cards enable the horizontal installation of PCIe expansion cards in systems where vertical space is limited, particularly in 1U and 2U server enclosures. These essential components are designed to maximize internal space without compromising performance, allowing for the addition of GPUs, RAID controllers, network interface cards, and other key hardware. Riser cards are fundamental to expanding system capabilities while maintaining a low-profile, rack-friendly footprint.

Optimized for Lenovo Server Infrastructure

Each Lenovo riser card is engineered for specific server models, ensuring precise alignment with internal components, airflow design, and mounting configurations. These cards are most commonly installed in Rack Servers and Blade Servers, where space-saving architecture is essential. They are typically secured to the chassis and include one or more PCIe slots, supporting Gen3 or Gen4 bandwidths depending on the system’s architecture.

In conjunction with System Boards, GPU modules, and RAID Controllers, Lenovo riser cards facilitate the deployment of high-performance hardware within compact servers, making them critical for environments running virtualization, AI, or complex multi-application workloads.

Reliable Expansion for Performance-Driven Systems

Riser cards enable organizations to unlock the full potential of their Lenovo servers by allowing additional hardware to be added without altering the physical dimensions of the system. This is particularly beneficial in dense rack environments where vertical PCIe card installation isn't feasible. Lenovo riser cards maintain electrical integrity, bandwidth efficiency, and physical stability, even under continuous load.

For systems that require specific GPU orientations or multiple add-in cards, Lenovo also offers dual-riser configurations and customized bracket assemblies. These options provide expanded support for parallel processing and specialized networking or storage upgrades without compromising internal airflow or serviceability.

Refurbished Riser Cards for Practical Expansion

We offer refurbished Lenovo riser cards for businesses extending the life of existing hardware or adding new capabilities on a limited budget. These cards are tested for slot functionality, alignment, and thermal compatibility, ensuring they perform reliably and integrate smoothly with legacy and current-generation systems.

Enable Advanced Features in Compact Form Factors

Lenovo riser cards are a key component in building flexible, high-performance servers that meet the unique constraints of rack-based infrastructure.
