About This Product
Overview
The Dell Secondary PCIe Riser x16 LP with Cage is a server part designed for Dell PowerEdge environments that require additional expansion support. Built for the R450 and R650xs, this riser provides a low profile x16 slot and includes the riser cage, making it a practical component for system upgrades and hardware replacement. It is intended for use in compatible server configurations where maintaining the correct physical fit and expansion layout is important. As a Dell expansion card adapter module, it helps extend the capabilities of the server chassis while staying aligned with the platform’s design requirements.
Performance & Scalability
With a PCIe 4.0 interface, this secondary riser is suited for modern expansion needs within supported Dell PowerEdge servers. The x16 slot format allows for a range of compatible add-in cards, helping administrators tailor the system to specific workloads or infrastructure requirements. In server environments, expansion flexibility can be important for adapting to changing demands, and a properly matched riser helps preserve the intended airflow, layout, and connectivity of the chassis. For organizations maintaining R450 or R650xs systems, this component supports scalable hardware planning without changing the core server platform.
Storage Flexibility
While this product is not a storage device itself, it can play an important role in overall server expansion by enabling additional PCIe-based hardware in the chassis. That flexibility can be useful when building out a server for storage-related controllers, adapters, or other expansion cards that depend on a stable PCIe slot. The included cage helps provide the correct mounting structure for the riser assembly, supporting a clean and organized internal configuration. For IT teams working with Dell server parts, having the right riser in place can make future hardware changes more straightforward.

Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
