Optiplex SFF 760 - 'low profile' PCIe?
Hi,
I want to add an audio PCIe interface to my SFF 760. The pc specifications list the PCIe slot as 'low profile' but I don't know what low profile means here. How can I determine whether the card I want will be okay or not for this low profile PCIe slot please?
Thanks,
Ric

Never mind. I have found a work-around. There is a usb powered interface which will allow me to control it from the 760's monitor, no shortage of usb sockets on the 760.
Best thanks,
Ric

Hi Ric,
I have the included a picture of a PCIe expansion card that provides the difference between Full-Height Bracket and Low-Profile Bracket.
You will need to purchase a PCIe sound card that has a Low-Profile Bracket and add it to the OptiPlex 760 SFF Desktop.
Please let me know if you need further information.

Thanks Rajath,
Gosh, that limits options? Is there no way to customise a high profile bracket to fit a low profile space? I doubt that many low profile brackets were manufactured? Alternatively, might there be some type of adapter which will plug into the PCIe slot and allow a high profile card to fit to it?
There is an article here which suggests that PCI tailstocks can indeed be removed and replaced?

This has a low profile bracket: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132052
Low-profile chassis are common these days, and many cards are furnished with low-profile brackets.
