What card are you using that you had to "cut the end off"??? I have
x330's and x335's here, and I've so far used 4Lx, 4Mx, and 6M cards,
and have NEVER had to trim ANYTHING.. I couldn't even imagine having
to "cut" a card.. That doesn't sound too healthy.. Also, I've never
had a problem with gaps between the cards and the bays.. I'd
double-check the server and make sure that the motherboard is properly
seated in the chassis the way it's supposed to be.. What is the new
"normal" server??
