board. Features of the 5 Volt riser board include:
• Support for three 33 MHz 5 Volt 64-bit PCI add-in cards
• Provides 5 Volt to 3.3 Volt signal level translation
The 5 Volt riser board contains voltage level translation converting the 5 Volt PCI add-in card
signals to conform to the server board, which has 3.3 Volt signaling levels. The board supports up
