QNAP BRKT-RISER-2P-2U Scheda riser per TS-873AU e TS-873AU-RP

Two PCIe slots on a low-profile riser give the QNAP TS-873AU series room for high-speed network cards, NVMe adapters, or GPU acceleration without swapping the chassis. That is the core of the BRKT-RISER-2P-2U: a purpose-built 2U riser card that expands the TS-873AU and TS-873AU-RP from a compact NAS into a more capable edge or virtualization node.

Overview

The QNAP BRKT-RISER-2P-2U is an official riser card accessory for the TS-873AU and TS-873AU-RP NAS models. It provides two PCIe expansion slots in a 2U form factor, allowing users to install additional cards such as 10GbE/25GbE network adapters, NVMe SSD expansion cards, or graphics cards. The riser is designed to fit precisely into the existing chassis, maintaining proper airflow and mechanical stability. Installation is straightforward for IT professionals and does not require special tools beyond a screwdriver.
