Will long ethernet card fit in DL380 with redundant power supplies?

[Al_56]

l'm building some new firewalls based on the DL380 using checkpoint secure platform (SPLAT), and need to install 2 4 port ethernet cards.

The servers arrive next week, and l have the 4 port ethernet cards (the ZYNX ZX346Q) and l see it's about 9" long, very long for a PCI card.

Will it fit? Will 2 fit? Will they not make it due to the redundant power supplies?

Thanks in advance gurus.

I'm assuming the server is a G3 or a G4. The longest pci adapter which can fit is approximately 12 inches (all three slots).

So these nics should fit fine.

Thanks,

The servers arrived yesterday and the cards fit fit fine (12" does seem to be the max)

You saved me pannicking and rushing out to buy $2,000 of other cards which l wouldn't have needed.
