ABSTRACT:
A low-profile computer assembly having a universal footprint on a riser card for mounting peripheral card connectors on the riser card is provided. The peripheral card connectors can be of the edge-card type and can be mounted in pairs, back-to-back, with each connector of the pair extending uniaxially and perpendicularly from opposing sides of a riser card. The two opposing universal footprints on which such a pair of peripheral card connectors are mounted can support a first peripheral card connector having a first bus form factor for a first peripheral bus conforming to a first bus protocol specification and a second, paired peripheral card connector having a second, different bus form factor for a second peripheral bus conforming to a second, different bus protocol specification.
