Technical information of PCI RISERS

baradaproducts.com

When a manufacturer produces computers, servers or any product that uses a backplane

with PCI connectors, he may want to add peripheral cards for special functions.

The normal way to add these cards is to insert them in the PCI connectors. This is good if 

the chassis is normal size that would accept the height of the peripheral card.

However if the chassis is 1U or 2U high, the card will not fit, so he needs to use a RISER,

which is a right angle adapter, that inserts the peripheral card in parallel with the

 motherboard.

BARADA PRODUCTS INC. MANUFACTURES THESE RISERS. 

There are different types of risers: 1-slot risers, 2-slot risers and 3-slot risers.

There are risers where the components of the peripheral card face down, towards the

mother board, and other risers where the components of the peripheral card face up,

away from the motherboard.

The European Union has adopted a new standard to restrict the use of hasardous 

substances. All of Barada's PCI risers can be 

manufactured to comply with the RoHS standard.
