Riser slots 1 and 2 are capable of supporting up to 100W maximum power each. Available power to each 
add-in card slot on a given riser card is defined by the PCIe* specification. Add-in cards with power 
requirements above 75W will require the additional power to be drawn from either of two 2x2 pin 
“OPT_12V_PWR” connectors on the server board. A 12V Aux power cable is routed from the “OPT_12V_ 
PWR” on the server board to a 6 or 8 pin 12V AUX power connector located on the add-in cards. 

NOTE: Both the 2-Slot PCIe Riser card and the 12V Auxiliary Power cable are included in Intel Accessory kit 
A2UL16RISER2 

 

High power add-in cards with 

passive cooling

 solutions (no fan on the heat sink) can 

only

 be supported 

in systems configured with the high air flow air duct included in Intel Accessory Kit 

AWTCOPRODUCT.

AWTCOPRODUCT Air Duct notes:  

The high air flow air duct included in Intel Accessory Kit AWTCOPRODUCT includes two plastic knock-out 
panels to allow for additional air flow over a specific riser card area. A knock-out panel is only removed when 
installing a high power add-in card that meets the following criteria:
