| Low
Profile PCI cards are designed to fit into systems as low as 3.350"
with out using riser cards. There are two types of Low Profile PCI
boards: MD1 and MD2. Both are built on 32-bit addressing, and differ
only in length (MD1 being shorter than MD2.) Systems can be designed
to support one or both configurations. Existing PCI backplanes used
for standard cards can also accept the Low Profile cards. However,
the Low Profile specification also includes a new bracket design that
cannot be used with standard PCI boards. |
