You bought a wrong board, that board is for Server application.
Correct board for Workstation Application would be S5000 XVN

bhai you are right,i had a chat with my dealer,he ordered for a wrong board + the Graphic card and it wasn't fitting in it

he is going to change the board for the S5000XVN with 1 x PCIe 16x and i am installing Nvidia Quadro 1700 with that,as of now only Quadro 64MB is avaiblable in 4x.

Thanks very much for the reply

Get the MB change as this MB is purely for sever use. You can get PCI card but that will be to old models.

.....

Which expansion slot is available to you. I think PCI wont be there. AGP is most likely.

greenhorn · 30th July 2008, 22:40

that doesnt sound like the chipset. must be some other IC

please download and run this utility, and tell us what it says on the mainboard tab
