Tower Plus EBT2250, PCIe x4 expansion slot

Question

I have the EBT 2250 with the Dell version of the RTX 4060. Does anyone know whether or not that graphics card covers both of the PCIe x4 Expansion slots? I’d like to add a fire wire input card.

Not all cards -- even OEM -- are the same size -- best is to check. However, it's likely the card will occupy two slots.

It appears to be 2 slot width card so will definitely cover at least one pciex4 slot. But it is not 3 slot width so the bottom pciex4 slot is not covered.

@redxps630​  I bit the bullet and disconnected everything and checked inside.  It appears that slot 3 is open, so I ordered the IEEE-1394 card. I’ll confirm when I receive it…thanks for the responses.

@Richmond Dan​ I realized I didn’t need the firewire card, but I’m attaching a photo of the slot 3 so you can judge for yourself as to whether or not a PCIE card would fit.

It does look like 2.5 slot width was occupied by Dell 4060

I installed the Firewire card and as you can see in the photos it fit nicely with 3-5mm clearance and not obstructing fan in PCIe slot 3 next to the Dell RTX4060 graphics card.
