Solve : Low profile NIC for Intel MB??

Answer»

Here is our problem: We have several custom-built computers that are housed in 3U rack-mount enclosures. They all have INTEL MB MODELS D915GAV/D915PGN. Lately on a couple of the units the onboard NIC has failed. Now I am having more difficulty than I imagined obtaining a PCI NIC with both a low-profile bracket and Wake-on-LAN.

I have tried a couple from D-Link, but can't seem to get the Wake on LAN to work.

Any SUGGESTIONS?

Thanks in advance.I had a similar problem.

My Dell small form factor desktop computer does not accept standard size brackets. I located a wireless adapter that was small size, but had a regular bracket on it. I found there are sources of brackets that can be adapted to most small cards.

You can do a Google for half HEIGHT brackets.




Many Modern Retail Intel NICs should support Wake on LAN. Also, you would get 1000BaseT support which is useful.
