Full height riser

[Benedoge]

Hi There,

 

Lately I got an old Intel palr s5000. 

As it says on the website intelark.com 

The motherboard has an pcie 16 slot. But now I am looking on the product ( laying right in front of me ) and only see a " full height riser " . 

My first question is : what is the riser for ? 

And secondly: Is there any option to mount a gpu in the slot ? 

( apologize for my bad English , I'm from Germany)

do you have pictures? often servers have a pcie looking slot that breaks out into 2 pcie slots via such a raiser , and yes those are normal pcie slots and compatible w/ any pcie device

yeap , that long slot is one that needs a riser and will most likely result in 2 pcie slots , 

something like this , but having normal PCIe16x slots

But are there any riser cards , that supply a pcie slot so that I can physically put in a gpu ? 

I mean the angle of the slot is 90 degrees turned. 

A normal gpu would just plug in upside down.

uhhh how do you mean ?  the gpu does not care if its upside down , and that picture i showed shows a PCI breakout , not a PCIe

OK...

Then I will have to buy a pcie riser card for my full height riser slot. 

Tank you
