since both are the same E-ATX the motherboard will NOT fit in an ATX case the board is roughly 3.5&quot; longer (13&quot; vs 9.6&quot;)

Hi, 
 
I have the following server motherboard: 
 
Intel® Server Board S5000PSLSATAR 
Form Factor: SSI EEB 3.6, 12 x 13 inch / 305 x 330 mm 
 
<a href="http://ark.intel.com/products/46546/Intel-Server-Board-S5000PSLSATAR" rel="ugc">http://ark.intel.com/products/46546/Intel-Server-Board-S5000PSLSATAR</a> 
 
 
I wish to put it in the following case: 
 
 
Obsidian Series® 900D Super Tower Case 
 
<a href="http://www.corsair.com/en/pc-cases/obsidian-series-pc-case/obsidian-series-900d-super-tower-case.html" rel="ugc">http://www.corsair.com/en/pc-cases/obsidian-series-pc-case/obsidian-series-900d-super-tower-case.html</a> 
 
 
I realize that this is a E-ATX board and the case is a E-ATX case. 
 
However I am concerned about the backplane connectors - if I am using the correct term. 
so this is where the VGA, USB connectors, internal network connectors go. And the card slots as well. 
 
Is this standard as well. So if a board is specified as E-ATX and a case is E-ATX 
does it mean that these components will not line up. 
 
So I wanted to make sure that the motherboard will fit in respect to this and the card slots. 
 
Should this all be OK and I am worrying about nothing ? 
 
Thanks, 
 
Ward.

E-ATX Server Motherboard fit in E-ATX Case?

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.
