Supermicro PCI-E riser not working in Supermicro 1U chassis
-
Hey guys,
So I got this Supermicro Atom mobo in a Supermicro 1U chassis.
I purchased a Supermicro PCI-E riser thinking it would allow me to add additional NICs. Well, not so much.
Looks like I need a really DEEP socket on the riser to extend out to where the add on card is.
Any idea for the Supermicro part number for this?
Thanks!

Question.. off-topic how quiet are those? if it's alright what model is that 1u/site did you order it from? As well:

Part: rsc-rr1u-e16

Sure. No secret in where I got it from. Here you go:

Btw, he will accept lower offers. ;)
I checked out the link you sent, but alas, unless the pic is wrong, that one has the shallow socket too.

mm I notice there's extra holes on the side, is it possible to move the mobo one more? As well how regards to noise how noisy is the power supply? Might buy heh.

Hey pclausen,
you will need a PCIe adapter cable to realize what you want!
They are mostly out as PCIe x1, PCIe x4 and PCIex8 variants.Here is an example shown:

That looks like the width of a standard PCI-E Extension. Here's the first one I found searching on Google.

Of course the network ports stay in the same place, don't they? ;)
I wonder what kind of chassis it is, maybe supermicro will say something about the correct riser to user, or maybe it's more suited to mATX boards.

Thanks! I think that will do the trick!

Yeah, I thought about moving the mobo over to the right and use those other holes, until I realized that nothing would like up with the front panel any longer if I did that. :) I agree that those holes are used with the slightly wider mATX boards, in which case the rise I have would have worked.
The chassis is a Supermicro CSE-503L-200B and the motherboard is a Supermicro X7SPA-H-D525-B.
