Patent ID: 8873249

Claim:
A Dual In-line Memory Module (‘DIMM’) riser card, the DIMM riser card comprising: a printed circuit board (‘PCB’) having a first edge, a second edge, and one or more faces, the first edge configured for insertion into a main board DIMM socket mounted on a main board; an angled DIMM socket mounted on one face of the PCB, the angled DIMM socket configured to accept a DIMM at an angle not perpendicular to the PCB; and a straddle mount DIMM socket mounted on the second edge of the PCB, the straddle mount DIMM socket configured to accept a DIMM, wherein the angled DIMM socket and the straddle mount DIMM socket are located adjacent to one another such that stub effect induced by electrical traces between the angled DIMM socket and the straddle mount DIMM is reduced when no DIMM is installed in the straddle mount DIMM socket.
