jamesd · 2009-05-12 16:02:15

I have an ibm server that only has usb 1 and i need usb 2 Is it just a matter of getting a card and slotting it in? http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=334532

Sorry, just re-read that post.

In theory you just drop the card into a free PCI slot, but depending on the OS that server's running you might need drivers for the Via controller and/or USB2.0 so it can recognise the card and its attached peripherals respectively. Probably not, but you never know...
