Hey hardware-Gurus, :-)

.... Chris Johnson was so kind so sell me one of his Creator3D cards. It
even came with the correct plastic front plate. The problem is: It
doesn't fit into the Enterprise 2.

It looks something like this:

back
+----------+----------+-------------+-----------------+
| | | | |
| | | card slot | |
L | sbus 1 | sbus 2 | for | power | r
e | | | Creator3D | | i
f | | | | supply | g
t | | | | | h
| | | ::: | | t
s | | | =========== | |
i +----------+----------+--+----------+-----------------+ s
d | | | i
e | cpu 1 | | d
| | | e
+------------------------+ +-----------------+
| | | |
| cpu 2 | | cdrom drive |

There's the connector where the card should connect to the mainboard. In
the sketch above it's the line consisting of the "=" characters. Just in
front of that is a 20-pin connector labelled J3208 (":::" in the
sketch). This one rises high above the board and lets me not plug the
Creator3D in. It looks like it could be removed but I tried it and it
doesn't move. In fact I tried so hard that I feared to damage the
motherboard.

Does anyone here know what this connector is for and if I should remove
it then how this is done? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hey Chris,

.... thanks very much for helping. Tho I don't know what went wrong the
first time when I did exactly that, this time it worked. Seems like
sometimes it's good to watch a movie between doing two things. :-)
