Riser Boards

The server board includes two riser boards, a 5 Volt full height riser board, and a 3.3 Volt riser board. Features of the 5 Volt riser board include:

Support for three 33 MHz 5 Volt 64-bit PCI add-in cards

Provides 5 Volt to 3.3 Volt signal level translation

The 5 Volt riser board contains voltage level translation converting the 5 Volt PCI add-in card signals to conform to the server board, which has 3.3 Volt signaling levels. The board supports up to 50 W total with a limit of 25 Watts per slot. Figure 6 illustrates the 5 Volt riser board.
