Expansion Cards
Expansion cards are installed on the computer's riser board (see Figure 3). The riser board plugs into the RISER connector on the system board
(see Figure 1) and is considered an extension of the system board.
The system accommodates up to seven expansion cards, which can be a mix of 32-bit PCI expansion cards and 8- and 16-bit ISA expansion
cards. (See Figure 2 for examples of ISA and PCI expansion cards.)
