Description

QNAP BRKT-RISER-2P-2U PCIe Riser Card Expansion Module

Overview

The BRKT-RISER-2P-2U is a PCIe 3.0 x8 riser card module from QNAP's QNAP NAS and server accessories line, designed to extend a single PCIe slot into two usable expansion positions within a 2U chassis. If your network-attached storage or server build is constrained by slot geometry — where a full-height card physically blocks adjacent slots or the motherboard layout prevents direct card seating — this riser relocates the interface to a bracket-mounted position that fits the 2U form factor. The BRKT-RISER-2P-2U addresses the common integrator problem of needing to install two PCIe expansion cards in a chassis that offers limited physical clearance, without resorting to an external expansion enclosure.

Compatibility

This module is designed for compatible QNAP 2U rackmount NAS systems that support riser card installation. Verify your specific chassis model against QNAP's published compatibility list before ordering — riser card fitment is chassis-specific and determined by the internal bracket geometry, PCIe slot type, and available vertical clearance of the 2U enclosure. It is not a universal fit across all QNAP 2U units. If you are configuring a PCIe expansion build with network, GPU, or SSD cards, confirm the riser is listed as a supported accessory for your exact NAS model number. Consult QNAP's product page or hardware compatibility notes for your chassis before purchase.

Installation Notes

As with all riser installations in dense 2U enclosures, verify cable routing clearance before seating expansion cards — riser brackets in 2U chassis often leave minimal headroom for card power connectors or SFP cabling. Ensure the host system is fully powered down and grounded before handling. No tools beyond standard chassis screwdrivers are typically required, but confirm bracket screw sizing matches your chassis hardware.
