R640 RISER CARD A2
Hello
I have server R640 with 1 processor, the server came with PCIe Riser Config 4, 2 x16 Low Profile
I have Boss M.2 for operating system then I installed then I installed additional PCIe NVMe device
Now I want to install another additional PCIe NVMe.
So, as per my understanding I can do that if I provided riser on riser slot 2A. am I right?

If your current riser is Raiser 1A with 2 LP PCIe slot then you can have Riser 2A. Please note riser 2A need both processor to be installed. You can refer below link for details

1B and 1A can not be installed on same server. Supported configurations are 1B only or 1B+2B

AS I understand from the configuration mentioned below is that Riser 1A + Riser 1B can be used together for processor 1 which means I can combine them for the same processor 1 which match my configurationhttps://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/poweredge-r640/per640_ism_pub/expansion-card-installation-guidelines?guid=guid-98474365-a5ff-4468-8960-a4f7ac4fb2c5&lang=en-us

Server have 2 riser slot Riser 1 and Riser 2. In riser 1 slot you can connect riser 1A and 1B and in riser 2 slot you can connect riser 2A and 2B. Hence you can not connect both Riser 1A and 1B on same server as there is only one slot for Riser 1. You can check below link for riser connector
You can also see various riser combination supported on the link you provided. If you scroll down table 2 to 5 represent various riser combination supported

Hello,as Shine said you can not, I don't think there will be any. Sorry I can't be of help.
