The Lenovo ThinkSystem 01GV293 (2U x16/x8 PCIe Full-Height Riser Card) is an internal expansion riser used in Lenovo ThinkSystem rack servers. It provides additional PCIe slot capability by extending the motherboard’s PCIe lanes into full-height expansion slots, allowing installation of high-performance add-in cards such as RAID controllers, network adapters, and storage accelerators.
This riser is designed for 2U ThinkSystem servers and typically supports a flexible lane configuration of x16 and x8 PCIe slots, depending on the system design. It is commonly used in models like SR550, SR650, and related ThinkSystem platforms where additional PCIe expansion is required in a compact server chassis.
Built for enterprise environments, the riser ensures stable signal integrity and reliable high-speed communication between installed adapters and the system motherboard. It is a key component for expanding server I/O capacity in data center deployments.
