<DIV>Thank you very much Darren.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I did look at Dell's website for the info but was not able to find the PCI voltage info. Perhaps I looked at the wrong place or missed it. Googling also did not give me answers.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I called Dell myself and the tech support person was very helpful. He confirmed that Dell PE 2850 indeed has 3.3V for PCI X.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Digium's support also confrimed this. They suggested I exchange my TE205P card with the TE210P card which works with PCI-X 3.3V. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am a newbie at Asterisk and am learning a lot thanks to the responses of the members of this list.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>richard<BR><BR><B><I>Darren Reilly <darren@signius.co.uk></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><BR><BR>Dell website <BR><BR>Useguide has the info and its:<BR><BR>Expansion Bus
