DL360 G5 w/ PCI fibre card?

[Cheshire42]

I have a DL360G5 that is in need of a fibre card.

The device is currently in use in a POC project, so I want to do as little mucking with it as possible.

They need a fibre card in the DL360 G5 due to their expanding SQL database.

I have a PCI fibre card (Hewlett Packard Compaq StorageWorks (250176-001) Network Adapter), and would like to know that it is safe to use this device in the DL360 G5's PCIe full height slot.

Thank you,

The card that you have is a "64bit PCI" card and physically does not fit in a PCIe slot. PCI and PCIe are different bus types and are incompatible with each other.
