I/O tray riser connectors

The following illustrations show the internal connectors on the I/O tray risers.

Up to three risers can be installed in the I/O tray. The chassis supports the following riser configurations:

  • Riser 1:

    • Slot 1 to 4 riser provides four PCIe3 x8, full height, half length connectors.

    • Slot 1 to 4 riser provides four PCIe x16, full height, half length connectors. (8-socket configurations only)

    • Slot 3 to 4 riser provides two PCIe3 x16, full height, half length connectors.

  • Riser 2:

    • Slot 10 to 13 riser provides four PCIe3 x8, full height, half length connectors.

    • Slot 12 and 13 riser provides two PCIe3 x16, full height, half length connectors.

    • Slot 10 to 15 riser provides five PCIe3 x16, full height, half length connectors and one ML2 PCIe3 x16 connector.

  • Riser 3:

    • Slot 16 to 17 riser provides two PCIe3 x8, full height, half length connectors.

Slot 1 to 4 and slot 10 to 13 riser connectors​

There are four PCIe3 x8, full height, half length connectors each in the slot 1 to 4 (riser connector 1) and slot 10 to 13 (riser connector 2) risers.
