NI ExpressCard-8360 - Adaptor card to low-profile PCIe slot

Hello,
we share PXI chassis in our office between desktop PCs by using of NI Express Card 8360 + Delock PCI Express card to Express Card 34 mm
+
BUT our Dell Desktop PCs have low-profile PCI Express slots. So Delock card doesn't fit properly and its front plate has to be twisted to be able to plug in.
Also it's impossible to screw it so loosing of connection and crashes are noted sometimes.
So my question is: Is there some LOW-PROFILE Adapter in the market?
I mean upper of these two...

Oh and while I was at NewEgg I intend to try
StarTech ECBRACKET2 Stabilizer Adapter
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839158051
Its a bit of plastic that clips on the bracket to stop the express card being wobbled / bumped in the adaptor. (I have lost the connection in my laptop before because I bumped the cable.)

Suitable Laptop for NI ExpressCard 8360

Hello,
I'm looking for an Industrial Laptop, which supports NI ExpressCard 8360 with NI PXI Chassis(8 & 18 slots). we have tried with couple of laptops(HP ProBook & Dell XPS), which has the follwing issues:
1. Booting (This could be fixed by changing the booting order)
2. Digitizer module freezes (when the number of samples are above 60000)
3. Unable to detect all the available PXI modules
Please suggest me a right model.
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
We don’t have a listed of supported laptops but we do have some resources that can help you.
Tips to Help You Successfully Use NI MXI-Express Controllers
MXI-Express Setup and Compatibility Guide
To address your issues:
1. Booting (This could be fixed by changing the booting order)
What is the problem you have with booting? Will the laptop not boot when your NI ExpressCard 8360 is connected? There is some information regarding this on page 1-3 of the MXI-Express x1 Series User Manual.
“The BIOS of some host machines may not support the extension of the PCI-Express fabric or PCI bus. Since this is the primary function of MXI-Express x1 products, those systems may not boot or function correctly. To address this issue, certain MXI-Express x1 products have additional functionality intended to hide all PCI or PCI-Express resources that are connected to the host machine, and allow NI MXI-Express BIOS Compatibility Software to handle the enumeration process of these resources instead of the BIOS.
In the cases where this software is required, there may be a dip switch on the board that needs to be toggled as instructed by the documentation for the software. The functional block diagrams in this chapter illustrate the locations and availability of the dip switch package. Only the first dip switch in the package is used for this purpose. The other switches serve no function and should be left in their default position.”
After knowing this, I would install NI MXI-Express BIOS Compatibility Software found here.
2. Digitizer module freezes (when the number of samples are above 60000)
Do you have any other systems to try the same card in?
3. Unable to detect all the available PXI modules.
A low maximum limit on the bus number range set by the BIOS, which limits the amount of hardware that can be attached to the system could have something to do with this. Try this: Determining the Number and Range of PCI/PCI Express Root Bus Devices
Hope this helps.

Hi:
You go into the BIOS, select the Advanced Options menu.
Go to the device configuration menu and there will be an onboard audio setting.
It will be set to Disabled. Change the setting to Enabled. Save the setting there by hitting the F10 key, and again when you exit the BIOS.
After you reboot, you will have the onboard audio back.

Need a low profile bracket for XtremeGamer card

/?I've recently purchased an SB XtremeGamer sound card which unfortunately came with a regular rear bracket. I need to get the low profile one for my current build. Does anybody know where I can locate one for a decent price? Does Creative carry it any more?
This is the bracket that I need. Thanks.

Hi,
Sorry, I don't think the profile bracket is available through Creative. These brackets are usually included with certain models, but not sold separately.

Low Profile Graphic Card

Anyone has any recommedation of any low profile GPU that can run with a 280W PSU and is better than Geforce 9300GE? Thanks

Low profile as in small-sized cart? The ATI Radeon X1600 is probably the smallest card that has dual-link DVI that will drive the 30" display.

Dell Optiplex GX270 (Low Profile Card AND Bracket)

Hi,
I have done a search for this but couldn't find a definiti've answer. As the title suggests I have a Dell Optiplex GX270 which is a SFF (Small Form Factor) PC. Standard PCI cards?will not fit into this machine.
Can anyone tell me whether Creative offer a sound card that is not only low profile but also comes with a low profile bracket in the UK.
Many Thanks
Jamie

Hi JCarnon,
You might want to read up about the X-Fi Xtreme Audio & X-Fi Xtreme Gamer, please contact the online store to find out if the bracket is available.

TV @nywhere Satellite II PCI Card - low profile bracket?

Hi,
I have a low profile Antec Minuet case which only takes low profile bracket cards.
Can I make the TV@nywhere PCI Satellite II card fit in my case? It looks small enough....
Does it come with dual size brackets or will I be able to adjust the bracket to fit?
Please help - I really need to get Satellite into my case but cant find any Low Profile cards...
Also, can someone confirm if TV@nywhere PCI Satellite - the original version - allow me to receive HD satellite channels? Not too fussed about recording - just want to view HD Satellite? This card is easier to obtain in the UK - the new II version is harder to get hold of.
Thanks!

Hi Bas,
thanks for your answer.
DVB-dream is a software to view tv on your PC. I want to watch blueray, radio, tv, watch pictures,... -> HTPC.
For this MCE is a nice standard software. I thing the problem is not MCE but MSI! After the message "... no signal.." the MSI software have to be start under admin rights to work. For me this is a hint to a bug in the msi driver.

About LOW PROFILE card!!!!! In hurry

MSI 8400GS 512MB N8400GS-TD512 nVidia PCI-Express X16 Low-Profile
Here is the wab link:http://www.xpcgear.com/n8400gstd512.html]http://www.xpcgear.com/n8400gstd512.html]http://www.xpcgear.com/n8400gstd512.html
Is this card for my computer??
Power supply bundled in my PC is 160 watts and I can only install graphic card which consumes less than 160 Watts.
So I want to know the power supply for this card?
Thx for helping me!

I sent a Email to HP and they replied me that:
I have gone trough the product specifications and features of the HP Pavilion Slimline s3624uk Desktop PC carefully and found the following information for graphics upgrade:
The Motherboard of your computer is having the following slots:
1. One PCI
2. 1 PCI Express x16 slot (on some models, a graphics card may occupy the PCI-E slot)
PCI-E card upgrade notes:
a) new card must be a low-profile card
b) HP recommends installing a card with power consumption of 25 watts or less.
c) Not all low-profile cards will fit into the PCI-E slot. Some connectors located at the top of a card may not fit properly into the back panel.
So, I would like to inform you that, you can purchase PCI Express graphics card. If you purchase the PCI Express graphics card then card should compatible with PCI Express x16 graphics slot which will meet your computer power supply specifications.
==Power supply Specification of your PC==
Input voltage:
* 100-127v/3A (50-60Hz)
* 200-240V/2A (50-60Hz)
Max. output wattage:
* All regions: 108W
And I donnot know a lot about PC DIY. I will try to open to check my mainboard.

Low Profile Bracket for NX8500GT-MTD256EH

Hey guys, I have one of these:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1231&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=136
And I need to buy the low-profile vga bracket so it'll fit in my slim-PC. I've tried contacting them via email, contact submission, calling several times, but never gotten a response. Any easier way to get one of these? Maybe a vendor? Thanks!

If you would have done a search on Google you would have seen that the #1 complaint is that it doesn't come with a Low Profile Bracket... example:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814127301
A site that sells the card WITH the low profile bracket...
http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/PCI-E/nVIDIA+GeForce+8+Series/MSI+GeForce+8500GT+256MB+HDMI+Low-Profile+Silent+PCI-E+?productId=30971
A site that says you can buy the bracket from MSI (but the # doesn't work anymore...)

I knew of all these things already, but was hoping that the Forum had a good way of contacting MSI (because all the methods I've tried in Post #1 didn't work)

Low-Profile SPDIF

Hi.
I'm looking for a low-profile soundcard that has coaxial SPDIF inputs AND outputs. Can anyone recommend such a card? The specs on the product pages are very unclear as to exactly what connectors the cards have. I have no interest in any other features of the card, its simply to get SPDIF into and out of the PC. It needs to be a half-height card and backplate as thats all that will fit into the PC.
If necessary there is room to put in a second backplate with?the SPDIF sockets, but it would be preferable for the SPDIF sockets to be on the soundcard's backplate.
The PCs are running Windows XP
Many thanks, David.

Vista allows for upto 7. configurations. But it doesn't support 6. as this appears not to be an industry wide standard.
In Windows XP it might have been possible for manufacturers to do whatever they wanted to in regards to speaker support, because they were allowed to completely handle audio (either in software emulation?or real?hardware).
Under Vista Microsoft only allows software engines and these only in specific points of the pipeline, which severely limits the abilities of vendors to differentiate. For example Sample Rate Conversion is entirely done by the OS, so the advantages of X-Fi's SSRC or the disadvantages of the EMU0Kx line in regards to the matter are extincted.

Audigy 2 ZS...Low profile bracket?

Have upgraded my old PC to a small factor Fujitsu Siemens and wanted to put my sound card in as the on-board isn't really that great. Is there a low profile bracket available for the ZS?
Thanks,
Phil

& I do not think you would be pleased with a low profile bracket for the Audigy 2ZS. Here is a picture of the low profile bracket on the X-Fi Forte....and I do not want you to think you would compromise with something like this:

X-Fi Xtreme Audio low profile mounting bracket anyo

Hi,
I have just bought one of these cards to install in my Dell Dimension C52. I got it because it was low-profile as my case is narrow. The card will fit fine, but unfortunately, the sound card mounting bracket is too long and prevents me from closing the case. From the blank I took out of the pc case, the mounting bracket I need is 80mm long. Do Creative make a low profile sound card mounting bracket?Thanks in advance.

@Re: X-Fi Xtreme Audio - Volume goes low, static, then comes backu Hi
Did anyone solve this - I have started getting exactly the same problem today. There is a fairly loud pop and then the sound that normally should be coming form the machine (game or music) is very quiet and distorted. After a short while (a few minutes), it pops again and starts working again. I built this machine a few months ago and this is the first time that I have had this issue. The specs are as follows:
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5870
Asus P6X58D Premium Intel X58 Motherboard,
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping 2.66Ghz (Nehalem)
Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-2800C9 (600MHz) Tri-Channel
Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 2TB HD
Intel X25-M Mainstream 80GB SSHD
X-Fi Fatalty FPS
The X-Fi card is from my old machine and it worked perfectly in that one.
Many thanks,
Dave

Soundbalaster for low profile HP

Hi guys, I have a HP DX270 small form factor low profile PC running Vista. Normal cards won't fit. Can anyone suggest a good low cost sound card I can use?

The Xfi Extreme Gamer has both backplanes so it can be used in full or low profile cases.
