This is for a small office of 30 people - only 10 channels of the PRI are lit. The TDM card is for outgoing calls to a 2-port Premicell unit (analogue GSM adapter with LCR to mobile phones) and for 2 fax machines - which is the only thing I'm a shade concerend about - the analogue FAX through the TDM board and back out via the PRI board.. (incoming faxes are handled by spandsp/RxFAX and sent via email) And this in only a mere 1.3GHz VIA board too. 384MB of free RAM (512 in total, but the OS lives in a 128MB ramdisk) No transcoding and everything is custom compiled/built. (Asterisk 1.2) I actually wanted them to go for a Xorcom channel bank, as they have a door opener/bell-push to manage somehow too, but they weren't keen on it, and the Xorcom is a bit over kill - if only they did a 2+2 or even 4+4 (FXO/FXS) unit rather than an 8+8 ...

I'm not sure if a full-height card would fit (vertically) in a 3U chassis... but I would probably also assume that if it would not, that the chassis/mobo would have a PCI/PCI-Express riser card that would mount the cards horizontally.

Re: [asterisk-users] 3U server chassis Digium TE405P?
Getting the RIGHT card for the RIGHT bus type and the RIGHT Chassis is NOT as simple as everyone will lead you to believe. My suggestion, worth exactly what you paid for it :) Get Exact Spec for the card your are considering and FAX / Email to PC vendor and have him send you In Writing that the card WILL fit in the box and in the bus. Then I would get the Exact Spec for the BOX and BUS in the box and send to DIGIUM or their OEM and get THEM to tell you it should all work. Overkill - some will say yes. But THEY won't be sitting there with you if your expensive Server comes in and your expensive card come in an they no-workie together Sherwood McGowan wrote: Matt Watson wrote: I'm not sure if a full-height card would fit (vertically) in a 3U chassis... but I would probably also assume that if it would not, that the chassis/mobo would have a PCI/PCI-Express riser card that would mount the cards horizontally.
