Lenovo 4XC0G88857

Overview

The Lenovo 4XC0G88857 is a riser card designed specifically for the ThinkServer RS160, providing a single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot that operates at full x16 bandwidth. This component enables the installation of a compatible expansion card within the compact 1U chassis of the RS160, which otherwise lacks space for a standard vertical slot. It is ideal for IT professionals looking to expand server capabilities without modifying the chassis, supporting use cases such as adding graphics cards, storage controllers, or networking adapters in space-constrained environments like data centers or branch offices.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
