Supermicro RSC-R1UW-2E16 Interface Card

The Supermicro RSC-R1UW-2E16 is an internal riser/interface card for 1U servers that converts a WIO slot into two PCIe x16 I/O ports. Designed for compact rack systems, this passive riser provides additional PCI-E x16 connectivity for server expansion and peripheral installation while maintaining low profile and compatibility with 1U chassis.

Advantages

The card offers two full-length PCI-E x16 ports from a single WIO connection, enabling flexible add-on options without requiring a larger server form factor. As a passive internal interface, it requires no additional power or active cooling and maintains server reliability. Its compact 1U design preserves server density while expanding I/O capabilities.

Suitable for

• Adding PCIe x16 expansion cards in 1U rack servers
• High-throughput network adapters or NVMe/accelerator cards (where chassis and airflow permit)
• Server environments requiring additional I/O ports without changing form factor
