Lenovo 7XH7A02679 PCIe Riser Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 7XH7A02679 is a full-height PCIe riser kit designed to expand connectivity options within specific Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. This component allows for the installation of additional PCIe cards, such as network adapters or accelerators, enhancing server capabilities for demanding workloads. Its internal design ensures a clean integration within the server chassis, maintaining airflow and accessibility for other components. The 7XH7A02679 is engineered for server environments where maximizing PCIe expansion is critical for performance upgrades.

Compatibility

This riser kit is specifically compatible with the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR550, SR590, and SR650 server models. It supports a (X16/X8) slot configuration on one riser and a (X16/X16) slot configuration on the second riser, providing flexible options for installing various PCIe devices. Ensure your server model and existing configuration match these specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis and carefully seating the riser board into the designated motherboard connector. The dimensions of 13.50 x 9.00 x 5.50 inches (L x W x H) are critical for ensuring proper fit within the server’s internal structure. Proper handling of static-sensitive components is advised. This is an internal server component; no external wiring is required beyond the PCIe card itself.
