Expansion Slot type

[rollincoaster]

Need a little bit of help with this one, it's in an older Dell 1U server and while it looks like a PCIx slot, it doesn't seem to match as a PCIx has the larger section in the middle and the shorter on the end...

It looks to be a riser slot, which will be proprietary to that server (or server series). Here is an example in one of my Poweredge R710 servers. They are used to turn the cards 90 degrees and/or to expand into multiple slots (as per the picture).

Is that a 26xx series Poweredge?

That makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, I am not sure what the equivalent Poweredge would be to this thing, it's a Dell F1CH. Guess I will hunt down something on ebay or a different machine.

Random PCI Riser ebay link looks like the slot would line up pretty good to me

:edit: better example

I've seen one similar to what my slot type is, but getting it to fit into a 1U server would probably be trivial lol.
