Comment on How do I fit a network card with a physical x4 slot into an x1 slot?
litchralee@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoA word of caution for anyone cutting out the slot: make sure there aren’t other instructions, like capacitors, ICs, and NVMe drives in the way of where the PCIe card will be.
The manufacturers that have the slot pre-cut will have already reserved the space, but even then, it’s on you to check that it’s suitable for a x16 if they only reserved space for a x8 card.
