8-2 Dell PowerEdge 2450 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
Expansion cards are installed on the computer’s riser board (see Figure 8-2). The riser
board plugs into the RISER connector on the system board (see Figure 8-1) and is
considered an extension of the system board.
The riser board contains three full-length 32-bit, 33-megahertz (MHz), Peripheral Com-
ponent Interconnect (PCI) expansion-card connectors. All three expansion card
connectors support both 3.3-volt (V) and 5-V cards. Connector PCI2 supports an
optional Dell OpenManage Remote Server Assistant (DRAC) 2 card.
