A riser card is a printed circuit board that picks up a multitude of signal lines (often bused) via a single connector (usually an edge connector) on a motherboard and distributes them via dedicated connectors on the card.
Riser cards are often used to allow adding expansion cards to a system enclosed in a low-profile case where the height of the case does not allow for a perpendicular placement of the full-height expansion card.
Fortunately, there are some very standard sizes for PCI expansion slots, and as long as you’re getting the right size, it should work fine in the motherboard that you have. Once we find the component that we’d like to add, like this network interface card, you can see that it slides right into this particular connection.
- Its appearing more obvious to me now there are other valuable potential gains that could be had if I simply acquire a computer with PCI/PCI-E expansion slots. With no expansion capability it obviously limits your options. PCI/PCI-E Slot for Wireless AP card. PCI-E Slot for a Dual NIC Server grade card.
- A NIC is also known as a network interface controller (NIC), network interface controller card, expansion card, computer circuit board, network card, LAN card, network adapter or network adapter card (NAC). Techopedia explains Network Interface Card (NIC).
- The R740 and R740xd features the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family, up to 24 DIMMs, PCI Express® (PCIe) 3.0 enabled expansion slots, and a choice of network interface technologies to cover NIC and rNDC.
- The PCIe expansion slot. Which NIC light turns on when the card detects network traffic and intermittently flickers when operating properly?
A riser card is a board that plugs into the system board and provides additional slots for adapter cards. Because it rises above the system board, it enables you to connect additional adapters to the system in an orientation that is parallel to the system board and save space within the system case.
Applications[edit]
Riser cards are used in rack-mount server and industrial computer applications. In 1U and 2U rack-mount computer systems, riser cards are integrated into the system to allow the addition of feature cards in a horizontal position (instead of a standard vertical position). This is due to the height limitations of a 1U and 2U system which are 1.75' and 3.5' respectively. Typically, a 1U system uses a 1U single slot riser card whereas a 2U system uses a 2U 3 slot riser card.Nowadays riser cards are often used by miners, for mining crypto-coins.These riser cards extended by USB-cable, are used to place GPU mining-cards in a so called mining-rack.
