Graphic card for IBM X3400(7975I4S)

- is that a Quadro FX5600 or a GeForce FX5600 (they make both) and what type of bus slot is the video card?

- Sorry, I wasn't able to find any useful documentation or support articles that show where the add-on video adapter should go. I wasn't able to find much documentation about add-on video cards at all. IBM says that add on cards are supported, but provide no documentation for doing so. My two recommendations would be

1. Insert the PCI Express video card into the highest available slot, go into the BIOS and set the video priority to the PCIe slot instead of onboard.

2. Call IBM support and ask them. Since the server is new and has a 1-3 year warranty, they should be able to quickly tell you what to do... or they'll tell you that you can't.
