This thing is double wide. I THINK you can run this solo but you can also put in a second one and Pair it for better redundancy. Then you need FOUR slots in two pairs if you choose these. Good cards but big.

All the 0595s above will hold the 5904 but I've never placed one in an 0588 and I think I'd avoid that as many slots are 1/2 speed/32 bit and the HSL on that is 1/2 speed as well.

You know, these machines have more cache than my old B10 had disk.
