Compaq 262298-001 SFF PCI Riser Board for Evo D500

Product Description

The Compaq 262298-001 is a specialized riser board designed to facilitate the expansion of Compaq's Evo D500 series Small Form Factor (SFF) desktop computers. These compact systems often have limited internal space, making it difficult to install standard-sized expansion cards like network cards, sound cards, or additional I/O controllers. This riser board effectively repositions the PCI slots, allowing them to be mounted vertically or horizontally within the constrained chassis of the Evo D500. This particular riser board provides one or more standard PCI slots, enabling users to add functionality to their systems that were not originally integrated. By using this riser, businesses and individuals can extend the life and capabilities of their existing Evo D500 hardware without needing to upgrade to a larger system. It is a crucial component for maintaining the versatility of these SFF workstations. Manufactured by Compaq, this riser board is engineered to meet the specific requirements and form factor constraints of the Evo D500 line. Its installation typically involves connecting it to the motherboard's riser slot, and then standard PCI cards can be plugged into the riser's slots. This ensures compatibility and proper integration within the system's architecture.
