Why does my PCI card not fit into any of the PCI slots on the 920 server motherboard?

The peripheral card that you are trying to place in the server is most likely a 5 volt (V) PCI card. The 5 V PCI cards have a keyed notch on the contacts, which is located away from the back of the chassis. The 920 server motherboard PCI slots do not have this key. The 920 server motherboard supports only 3.3 V and universal PCI cards. The contacts for the 3.3 V cards are keyed differently than the 5 V cards. The universal PCI cards are made to support 3.3 V or 5 V PCI slots and have two keyed notches, one at each end of the contacts.
