DL385p G5 - Expansion card/cage - which?

[clydem]

I have the default one MB PCI riser card in the system.  I maxed the slots and want to put in a 10GB NIC SFP+.

What is the part(s) # I need for the secondary riser?  

It looks like there's 3 options:  PCIe (1) x8, (2) x4 or a PCIe/PCI-X mixed riser with (1) PCI-X, (1) x8, (1) x4 or a HiPerf
225w PCIe riser with (1) x16   But the docs give me more than that as options, so perhaps it doesn't differentiate between

primnary & secondary.

and I see mention of a riser cage.  I dont see how that will fit into the box.

Thanks in advance

I found the documents prior to posting and found them to be obtuse, hence the post.

As a matter of point, I did try one of the riser cards listed and the server flagged it as inappropriate.

At this point, the box is now issuing a health alert at power-on, so I can't explore this topic further.
