ABSTRACT:
A substantially rigid card having a first side and an opposing second side, a first connector end adapted to mate with a first expansion connector on a circuit board and a second connector end adapted to mate with a second expansion connector on the board. A first peripheral card connector is connected to the first side and electrically connected to the first connector end, wherein the first connector is of a first form factor and adapted to mate with a first peripheral card. A second peripheral card connector is connected to the second side and electrically connected to the second connector end, wherein the second connector is of a second form factor different from the first form factor and matable with a second peripheral card. The first peripheral card connector is spaced from the first connector end a distance approximately the same as the distance the second peripheral card connector is spaced from the second connector end such that the peripheral card carried by the riser card shares approximately the same region whether the riser card is in a first or a second orientation.
