Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a riser card, the method comprising: configuring a first riser card to accept more than one type of memory module; configuring the first riser card to be capable of substantially axially connecting with a first serial connection external interface of a printed circuit board (PCB); associating a first memory module with the first riser card with avoidance of abutment of the first memory module with a second memory module supported by a second riser card when adjacent to the first riser card, wherein the first riser card, at least in part, laterally connects with a parallel connection external interface of the first memory module, wherein the second riser card substantially axially connects with a second serial connection external interface of the PCB and electrically and at least in part laterally connects with a parallel connection external interface of the second memory module; and associating a translator integrated circuit (IC) with the first riser card that communicates between a serial memory protocol within the PCB and a parallel memory protocol within the first memory module through the serial connection external interface of the PCB and the parallel connection external interface of the first memory module.
