Riser Cards

Riser cards are special expansion cards used in computers to provide additional slots for expansion cards. They allow expansion cards to be mounted vertically or horizontally, depending on the space constraints within the computer case. This is particularly useful in compact systems such as Small Form Factor PCs or servers where space is limited. Riser cards connect the motherboard to the expansion slots and can support various form factors such as PCI, PCIe, or other standards. They play a key role in optimizing system configuration and expandability of computers in industrial applications.
