Dell PowerEdge R640 Riser 2 Card
This Dell riser card expands PCIe connectivity for a second CPU in PowerEdge R640 servers. It installs directly into the motherboard to provide an additional x16 slot for add-in cards. The component is designed for IT administrators upgrading dual-processor configurations.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The riser maintains signal integrity for PCIe x16 devices during continuous data transfer. It routes lanes from the second processor socket without active cooling components. Performance stability depends on the installed card and system airflow management.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a second CPU to be present and functional in the server. The card seats into a dedicated motherboard connector using a standard riser bracket. A common issue occurs when builders attempt to use this riser without populating the second processor socket.

Questions about this item
How much additional heat or noise does the DELL PowerEdge R640 Riser 2 Card 0W6D08 generate under continuous operation?
The riser card is a passive component with no fans or active cooling, so it adds no measurable noise and negligible heat beyond the PCIe cards installed in it.
What existing server hardware is required to install and use the DELL PowerEdge R640 Riser 2 Card 0W6D08?
You need a Dell PowerEdge R640 chassis with a second CPU installed, as this riser connects to the second processor's PCIe x16 lanes.
Will the DELL PowerEdge R640 Riser 2 Card 0W6D08 work alongside original R640 risers and PCIe cards already in the server?
Yes, it occupies the dedicated riser 2 slot for the second CPU and operates independently of the first CPU's risers and installed cards.
