on my x10 system i just got in from ebay (sm sys - 6028U-TNRT+ ( but i think is abit customized version), it has 1x X8 pcie "Internal" pcie slot on the riser (all other slots on risers are normal).
EDIT/UPDATE: my exact sys is: SYS-6028U-E1CNRT+ (although the -TNRT i cite above, also needs this bracket/clip). Also, you can skip down the my bottom/last post if you want to see/info on the the actual correct part i found.
This internal slot is offset a bit towards the mid of the case such that no pcie card of any size will be able to reach the rear of the case (sm specs call this an "internal LP slot" on the riser). So i figure this is a good slot for my raid card.
My question is, should the card just be hanging, with its only support being the pcie slot itself? or am i prehaps missing some custom part that would screw down this card in some way? (im not so happy about the extra weight the 2x sff8087 cables will add) see picts below. (the card in question is the one with the green heatsink)
(this is my first experience with a slot like this on a riser, and as im trying to keep the system to just 1x cpu to keep power usage low, i cant use other cpu2 slots)
thanks
