I HAVE A DREAM What will handle a Sangoma A400?

[rossiv]

I have been searching and searching for some hardware (read: server/computer) that will hold my Sangoma A400 that I got during the Sangoma promo a few months back, and I haven't had much luck. I'm almost positive it won't fit in a Dell T110, not sure about a Lenovo ThinkServer TS130, and I can't use a rack mount for this specific situation.
Anyone using this card without physically modding the server hardware?

So I found a technical guide for a T110 and it provided some very useful info.

So Zb is essentially the useable space inside of the server barring any fans or metal inserts, and it's 407.20 mm, so a 290mm card should fit fine. I guess I'll have to check again.

Further checking and actually RTFM...yields wonderful info:

Slot 2 supports full-length expansion cards; slots 1, 3, and 4 support half- length expansion cards.

So the T110 is a go.

Anything smaller?

Talked to Sangoma at Astricon this morning, and they told me that I might have some trouble finding a chassis to fit the card. They said that it was hard to fit into most cases. They also said that if I didn't have any other luck, they may be able to swap it out for an equivalent (yet smaller) card. +1 for Sangoma in my books!

So what was the final outcome? I'm looking to build out an 8-line(POTS) server and was considering that card rather than 2 B600's, that Remora stuff just seems like another point of failure I dunno...
so it's either 2 B600's or an A20004DE for this build I'm think'n..

I measured the T110 and it should fit. Haven't been able to actually put it in yet because I have one T110 and it is in production. I'll be able to see if it fits some time next week when I can take the server down.

The Sangoma A200 with a remora will fit swimmingly in a Jetway JC114 box. This is a small, wall-mountable box.

In hindsight, two A200s would have been better for me, but that's hindsight.
