About riser-card you got a answer from Matthew Frazer.

Thats about the slot-plate nothing else.
UIO is it on the other side. Its not a problem to chance it to
standard and the SM add-on cards are quite cheap.

Look at the 4-port interphase nic
the specs tells also:
Form Factor: PCI express, standard height, half length
and standard height is full height

I have found this Intel nic in low profile, but maybe EOL
