Explanation
Small form factor (SFF) PCs require riser cards to physically reorient full-height PCI or PCIe expansion cards so they lie parallel to the motherboard and fit within the reduced chassis height.
Common mistakes.
- A. FireWire cards are expansion cards themselves, not an adapter mechanism that allows other cards to fit inside a smaller chassis.
- C. Storage cards are expansion cards used to add storage controllers, not a supplementary component to solve chassis height constraints.
- D. Network cards are expansion cards that provide network connectivity, not a structural adapter for fitting cards into SFF cases.
Concept tested. Riser card use in small form factor PCs
