The 3.3V/5V Segment B 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 a limit of 25 Watts per slot. Figure 6 illustrates the Segment B riser board.
The 3.3-Volt Segment C low-profile riser board supports three 3.3-Volt 64-bit slots. The bus speed
varies from 33MHz to 100MHz depending on the type of PCI adapters configured in the 3.3-Volt
riser card. Figure 7 illustrates the 3.3-Volt Segment C low-profile riser board.
