Adding a new video card to PE T610
I've bought a new nVidia Quadro NVS-290 (PCI-E x1) video card.
It can successfully fit in any of the x8 slots.
I've tried it in the n°5 as well as in n°1 slots.
The card is well-seen by Windows 2008 R2 (driver installed and no error in the device manager).
But when connecting a monitor on any of the VGA cable (there are 2 on the NVS 290), either before boot or after, I don't get a signal and the monitor always turns into powersaving mode...
I've seen an option in the Unified Server Configurator where I can disable the on-board Matrox W200 video card.
Is it the solution ?
But I'm a bit afraid to do that, because if the nVidia still doesn't work, I won't have the onboard-card any more either (so, how to re-enable blindly the default card ?) !
What's your opinion ?
Thanks in advance.

It is a commonly known issue that a video card will mess with drac. You will get one or the other but not both.

@Forearms, who was the maker of your card? I am looking to get one for my newly acquired T610. ASUS or Gainward look OK. Thoughts?

@Forearms
Right now in the exact same situation, just one step before installing the GPU.
Would be interested to find out how you managed :
- to properly insert the GPU into the PCIe slot (any mechanical action, or any additional device required...?)
- to bring power to the GPU (any specific cable required as well...?
Thanks in advance.
