DL380 G1 USB PCI

[markwheeler]

Can I add USB functionality to a DL380 Gen 1 by adding a generic USB PCI card? If so, what versions of PCI does DL380 G1 support?

Good. I bought a 32 bit USB PCI card at Fry's. PCI Spec 2.2.

The HP docs say there are 3 PCI slots: 3 64 bit, 1 32 bit. Do 32 bit cards plug into 64 bit slots (only using some of the contacts)? If not, then I am out of luck if something is already in the 32 bit slot. Server will arrive in 3 days. It comes with a 2nd NIC and a remote management card, both use one slot I think.
