Installed interface in a 64-bit PCI slot

Case 2: Rack-mounted host

Since space is very restricted in a rack-mounted unit, the Myrinet/PCI interface must be

installed with a riser card. The riser card is inserted on the PCI connector side of the

card, and the riser card is then inserted into a PCI slot (as shown in the following

photograph). Inasmuch as some PCI connectors are more close-fitting than others, you

may need to push quite hard on the front panel and the edge of the card to get the card to

seat securely.
