Abstract

A computer system includes symmetrical sets of motherboard serial channels which couple processor devices on a motherboard with a common serial link interface. The common serial link interface can be coupled with an endpoint device to establish symmetrical serial links between the endpoint device and the processor devices. The computer system can include a riser card which can be coupled with the serial link interface. The riser card can include an endpoint device interface and serial channels which can couple the processor devices with the endpoint device via symmetrical limited selections of the motherboard serial channels. The riser can include additional interfaces which can couple the processor devices with additional expansion devices.
