A question about DAQcard PCI-5153

[Maomaot]

Hello,

We have a NI DAQ card PCI-5153.

We are trying to connect it to the motherboard of our computer Dell-Precision-T1700 SFF. But we are not sure if the slot is compatible. Should this DAQ card work in this motherboard? If not, is there any adaptors or cables that we can buy?

Thank you!

Look at the chassis section of the data sheet you linked.  The SFF only has PCIe slots and the card IS PCI.  You can look up PCIe to PCI adapters on Google and you will find some, but I have never used one.  I would suggest getting a computer with a PCI slot.

Are you even sure that card will fit into your computer?  It looks quite large for a SFF computer.

Thank you so much! And it is a problem that the case is too small. We are looking for a new big case.
