Compaq 171489-001 3-PCI Riser Board for Deskpro EN SFF

Product Description

The Compaq 171489-001 is a specialized riser board engineered to provide expansion capabilities for the Compaq Deskpro EN Small Form Factor (SFF) computer system. Standard desktop computers typically have horizontal expansion slots, but SFF systems often require riser cards to accommodate expansion cards like network adapters, sound cards, or older PCI-based peripherals in a constrained space. This riser board features three standard PCI slots, allowing users to add or upgrade functionality within their Deskpro EN SFF. The board connects to the motherboard via a proprietary connector, which is specific to the Deskpro EN SFF chassis design. This ensures that the expansion cards receive the necessary signals and power to operate correctly within the system. The primary function of this riser is to enable the installation of full-height PCI cards by orienting them vertically or at an angle, fitting them within the compact dimensions of the SFF case. It is an essential component for users who need to maintain or expand the capabilities of their Compaq Deskpro EN SFF systems.
