QNAP BRKT-QM2-10G1T Bracket Kit for QM2 10GbE Expansion Cards

Overview

The BRKT-QM2-10G1T is a replacement or alternate-profile bracket kit designed for QNAP QM2 series PCIe expansion cards that include a 10GbE port. If you are installing a QM2 card into a chassis that requires a different bracket height than what ships with the card — or if the original bracket was damaged or lost — this kit restores the correct mechanical fit without requiring a full card replacement.

Compatibility

Designed for use with QNAP QM2 series PCIe expansion cards equipped with a 10GbE (10GBASE-T) interface. The kit includes brackets in three profile sizes — Long (117 x 22 mm), Flat (90 x 18 mm), and Short (80 x 16 mm) — covering standard full-height and low-profile slot configurations. Verify your target chassis slot type before ordering: low-profile short brackets (80 x 16 mm) are required in half-height chassis, while standard full-height slots take the 117 x 22 mm bracket. Using the wrong profile prevents the card from seating flush with the rear panel and can block adjacent slots.

Installation Notes

Bracket swaps on PCIe cards require removing the card from the chassis, transferring the bracket using the card manufacturer's specified fasteners, and reseating. Ensure the replacement bracket aligns with the 10GbE port cutout on the QM2 card before securing. No special tooling beyond a standard Phillips screwdriver is required for most QNAP NAS enclosures.
