Question

you work as the it - administrator for a small corporate network. one of the company employees needs to add an additional pci card to the motherboard. when you open the computer, you see that the case that you purchased does not fit due to the cards height. which of the following is the best method for using the newly - purchased card?
use an expansion case to accommodate the height of the newly - purchased card
use a riser card to allow the new card to be installed vertically in the motherboard
use a riser card to allow the new card to be installed parallel to the motherboard
use a parallel case to allow the new card to be installed parallel to the motherboard

Explanation:

The best way to install a new card parallel to the motherboard is to use a parallel slot. An expansion card is for adding functionality and not for alignment, a jumper card is for configuration, and a tray - type card is not relevant for this alignment task.

Answer:

Use a parallel slot to allow the new card to be installed parallel to the motherboard.
