I had sent this to Digium Sales and cant get a response from them, I
don't. know what that means......
So I thought I would ask it hear since i know others have struggled with
this.

"I an considering using *your High Density T*1 cards on a number of
servers we are considering purchasing. The vendor lists that his system has:

PCI Express*: two x8 slots*, t*wo x8 low profile slots*; *PCI-X:
64-bit/100MHz*

Could you please clarify *WHICH* of the above listed *PCI slots* are
suitable for use with your *High Density T1 cards*. If there is *more
than one combination that is possible*, could you please indicate *WHICH
*which high density T1 cards will work in *WHICH* type of PCI slot."

Thanks for any guidance and help since DIGIUM sales seems to be too busy
to advise a potential customer

This will be 4 T1s to a card.So, just so I am not confused.
In my original e-mail I said "

"I an considering using *your High Density T*1 cards on a number of
servers we are considering purchasing. The VENDOR lists that his SYSTEM has:

PCI Express*: two x8 slots*, twoo x8 low profile slots*; *PCI-X:
64-bit/100MHz*
============================
And you list 3 possible PCI slots for your DIGIUM Quad T1 Cards

PCI or PCI-X 3.3 Volt Slots

PCI 5.0 Volt Slots

PCI-E (PCI Express) slots
==========================
Here is the Confusion - 1) Can ANY of your QUAD cards go in the "PCI Express - two x8 slots" - Yes or NO ?

2 Can ANY of your QUAD cards go in the "PCI Express - two x8 LOW Profile Slots" - Yes or No ?

3) Can your Quad cards you list as fitting a "PCI or PCI-X 3.3 Volt Slots" fit in the "PCI-X: 64-bit/100MHz" slot
OR would I have to ask the vendor "Is this PCI-X: 64-bit/100MHz" definitely a 3.3 Volt Slot ?
Yes - It would absolutely definitely fit OR NO - It will NOT fit OR To answer that I need more info ?????

THX for your help

No actually I gave it a LOT of thought and I and even asked two
different techs who repair PCs
and both said "what the to vendors are saying is not sufficiently clear
that I would
make a purchasing decision based on what you have in hand from them"
But, nice try at the cheap shot.

Ok - that is even more confusing , since one of them looks like it MIGHT
be a PCI slot
in the list "PCI Express*: two x8 slots*, t*wo x8 low profile slots*;
*PCI-X: 64-bit/100MHz*

Manager,Digium, Inc." said in His Post

Quote "

*PCI or PCI-*X 3.3 Volt Slots
---------------------------
TE412P (Quad span T1/E1/J1/PRI with DSP-based Echo Cancellation)
TE212P (Dual span T1/E1/J1/PRI with DSP-based Echo Cancellation)

"
*So, what is the *_Real Answer_* here ?

Any and all help greatly appreciatted*

Are you looking to purchase a server or just looking for a card for an
existing server?

Either way, post the specs from the manufacturer (and also make sure
those slots are open)

You will get your answer pretty quickly, and much less painfully this way.

Thanks,

Detailed specs for the "types" of PCI slots on the system were posted
each and every time I posted int the line

"I an considering using *your High Density T*1 cards on a number of

_SYSTEM has:
_
_PCI Express_*: _two x8 slots*_, _two x8 low profile slots*_; *_PCI-X:

I just do not know how to ask any more clearly, but as always I am open
to suggestions.

*_To Jared Smith - THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!

If I am not mistaking, Digium has pictures of the various PCI slots on
their website.

Google images is very helpful if you know what you are at, just don't
know the name
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=pci+slots&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2

Another idea is to call your sales channel, I am sure one or two phone
calls will get you setup for the right card in a few minutes and much
quicker than all this back and forth posting.

Thanks,
