Figure 105 shows the ATX Specification rev 2.1 height restriction regions. With the
example cable, Area C (near the traditional parallel ATA connector sites) is the
recommended placement region to allow the cable to fully bend and avoid any
obstructions.
Designers must exercise great care to minimize conflicts with I/O cards (e.g., PCI
cards) if Area B must be used. As noted in Figure 105, the lower 2.1" can reduce
conflicts with short PCI cards.
Also, designers can optimize horizontal placement relative to the I/O cards to minimize
conflicts with protrusions from the I/O card. Figure 106 shows an example
implementation that places the host connector to left edge of the PCI card keep-out
region.
