I appreciate that you are trying to help, Alexandre, but there are two
points that I find puzzling in your advice.

Firstly that I've never seen any other reference to needing a riser for a
PCI card.  SAS, yes;   PCI, no.

Secondly, Supermicro's own compatibility matrix for the product, at
http://www.supermicro.nl/support/resources/AOC/UIO_AOC_Compatibility.cfm ,
excludes the NIC you mention from my hardware;  it is a full-height card
and the 5017C-LF only accommodates low-profile.

Michael.
