    Low profile NIC for Intel MB?
    « on: December 15, 2009, 10:44:28 AM »
    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.
