| What are the different
types of riser cards/bus extender? |
 |
| 64-bit
straight extender |
Straight-thru bus extenders are used
to increase the height of your expansion slot as well
as product development
and debugging. They are also widely used by production
testing of motherboards and I/O boards. Some are utilized
as wearout units for the connector or gold fingers in
test fixtures. |

| 32-bit
right angle riser card |
Right Angle Extenders/Risers are most
popular in 1U and 2U rackmount chassis systems or low

slot available on their motherboard, active riser cards
are available to expand this one slot to three slots. |
