This is a Lenovo ThinkSystem SR550 / SR650 2x PCIe3 x16 2U Riser 2 Card, complete with a durable metal cage (P/N: 1GV295, 01KP721, SB47A02093). Riser cards are indispensable components in 2U rack servers, enabling the installation of PCIe expansion cards in a horizontal orientation to maximize space and expand server capabilities.

This specific riser card is engineered for seamless integration into Lenovo ThinkSystem SR550 and SR650 2U rack servers, specifically occupying the Riser 2 position. It provides two (2) PCIe Gen3 x16 slots, offering high-bandwidth connectivity for a variety of powerful expansion cards. This allows for the installation of multiple high-speed network adapters (NICs), Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), or specialized accelerator cards, depending on your server's configuration and power budget. The integrated metal cage provides robust structural support, protects the installed PCIe cards, and aids in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. This genuine Lenovo riser card is crucial for customizing and expanding the I/O and processing capabilities of your ThinkSystem SR550 or SR650 server to meet diverse and demanding enterprise workloads.
