Gentlemen,

First let me say it's great to be back on the Asterisk mailing lists.
Those of you who have been around for a while will remember me as
Rushowr. I look forward to answering questions and whatnot in the
future, but for the moment I have a minor question that I cannot find a
definitive answer for online.

I am in possession of a Digium TE405P card which I _know_ will fit in a
4U chassis, but we are building a new server and cannot get a 4U from
the supplier that my current client wants to use. However, we can get a
3U chassis. My question is, will this card fit? Does anyone out there
have a 405 out there that they have installed in a 3U?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered,

I'm not sure if a full-height card would fit (vertically) in a 3U chassis... but I would probably also assume that if it would not, that the chassis/mobo would have a PCI/PCI-Express riser card that would mount the cards horizontally.

Might want to check that out with the manufacturer of the chassis.

Getting the RIGHT card for the RIGHT bus type and the RIGHT Chassis is
NOT as simple
as everyone will lead you to believe.

My suggestion, worth exactly what you paid for it....

Get Exact Spec for the card your are considering and FAX / Email to PC
vendor and have him
send you In Writing that the card WILL fit in the box and in the bus.

Then I would get the Exact Spec for the BOX and BUS in the box and send
to DIGIUM or their OEM
and get THEM to tell you it should all work.

Overkill - some will say yes.
But....
THEY won't be sitting there with you if your expensive Server comes in
and your expensive card come in an they no-workie together

A quality 3U chassis will mount the cards parallel to the mainboard
with the use of a riser card, just as a 1U chassis does.

If you are intent on sourcing the components yourself may I suggest a
Tyan or Supermicro "barebones" server? I think that is the best
solution for integration in these sort of specialized systems. I know
they've saved me many headaches.

Have you tried GetVariableCommand and GetFullVariableCommand?

See
