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
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”.
PERIPHERAL COMPONENT INTERCONNECT (PCI) PCISET
The Intel 82430HX PCIset is made up of two components: The 82439HX controller (TXC) and the 82371SB PCI ISA IDE Xcellerator (PIIX3) ISA bridge. The PCIset provides the following functions:

82439HX TXC
The 439HX controller provides all control signals necessary to drive a second level cache and the DRAM array, including multiplexed address signals. It also controls system access to memory and generates snoop controls to maintain cache coherency. The 439HX controller comes in a 324 pin Ball Grid Array package.
82371SB PCI ISA IDE XCELERATOR (PIIX3)
The PIIX3 provides the interface between the PCI and ISA buses and integrates a dual channel fast IDE interface capable of supporting up to 4 devices. USB host/hub bus is provided by the PIIX 3. The PIIX3 integrates seven
