EXPANSION RISER

An expansion slot riser connector of EISA form factor provides the capability to support either two or three PCI slots by changing a motherboard jumper to route any extra IRQ and ID selects. A riser board can also support up to five ISA expansion slots. The PCI bus is compliant with the PCI 2.1 specification.

To ensure that the lowest positioned slot on the riser card can support a full length add-in card the following conditions must be met.

1)The minimum height requirement for the lowest positioned slot on the CPU side of the riser is 1.2”. Therefore the CPU heat sink should be no more than 1.2” high once installed on the processor.

2)The minimum height requirement for the lowest positioned slot on the SIMM side of the riser is 1.3”. Therefore, once SIMM memory is installed they should not be taller than 1.3”.
