ML310 G5 basically have the following slots:<br />
(1) PCI Express x8<br />
(3) PCI Express x1<br />
Optional Extender Board for (1) 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X<br />
<br />
So if you are using an PCIe card it will compatible on same or larger lane, meaning on an PCIex2 slot a PCIe x1 card will work.<br />
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Good afternoon.<br />
<br />
I have an ML310 G5 server from HP, and I opened it up the other day to install a PCI paralell card only to find that it's not PCI.<br />
<br />
It's basically PCI but 1/3 of the size and reversed.<br />
<br />
I have absoloutely no Idea what type of connection this is, nor where to find a paralell and a modem card that will fit it!<br />
<br />
It might be a PCIe x2 slot if it is, then will a PCIe x1 card work in it?<br />
<br />
Cheers

PCI cards on ML310 G5 (HP) Server

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
