This SKU, PJW9F, refers to a PCIe Riser Card specifically designed for certain Dell PowerEdge server models, notably the Dell PowerEdge R440 and R540.
This card when present and installed in either R440 or R540 server will enable:-
- It's a PCIe Riser Card: Servers often have a limited number of physical PCIe slots directly on the motherboard. Riser cards are essential components that effectively reorient or extend existing PCIe slots, allowing for the installation of additional expansion cards (like network cards, Fibre Channel HBAs, or RAID controllers) in a server's chassis where space is often constrained.
- Provision an extra PCIe Gen3 x8 Slot: The PJW9F typically provides one PCIe 3.0 x8 slot. This means it supports PCIe Gen3 speeds (which offer higher bandwidth than Gen2) and an x8 lane configuration, suitable for a wide range of expansion cards that require good bandwidth.
-
- Compatibility: Its importance lies in its specific compatibility with Dell PowerEdge R440 and R540 servers.
These servers have a particular internal layout, and this riser card is custom-designed to fit into the designated riser slot (often "Riser 1" or "Riser 2") on their motherboards.
- Enables Expansion: Without this riser card, you wouldn't be able to install additional PCIe expansion cards in the server, limiting its functionality and upgrade potential.
For example, if you wanted to add a dedicated RAID controller (like a Dell PERC H740P), a high-speed network card (10GbE or 25GbE), or a specialized accelerator, you would need an available PCIe slot, which the riser card provides.
- Facilitates RAID Configurations (often associated): While the PJW9F itself is just a riser providing a PCIe slot, it's often discussed in the context of installing a PERC (PowerEdge RAID Controller) card.
Many Dell PowerEdge servers use a dedicated RAID controller for their internal storage, and this controller typically occupies a PCIe slot on a riser card like the PJW9F. This enables advanced RAID levels (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, etc.) for data protection, performance, and scalability.
