After many arduous hours of searching forums and trying every trick or combination of things, this is what did not work for me. * Nvidia NVS 290, PCIe-x1, boots perfect, Windows 7 sees it, but no video using the NVS 290. * Removed the DRAC card as suggested, and restarted the server. I had a 6 minute boot time, got the extended monitor to work once, then epic fail on each restart. I concluded the NVS 290 definitely does not work. * Tried an Nvidia NVS 280, PCIe-x16 as suggested in another post I read. I nodded the cars by removing pins 50-52. Installed the cars in PCIe-1. Started the computer, Windows loaded fine, but again no video on the NVS 280. I again removed the DRAC, but this time long boot hang with no video ever. Conclusion, the NVS 280 does not work. What finally did work for me! * I accidentally stumbled across an Nvidia NVS 285, PCIe-x16, HP model P283. Instead of modifying this card, I used a x8 to x16 ribbon cable, and installed the card in the PCIe-1 slot after removing the DRAC card. * I booted the computer perfect. No hangs, no bangs, even scanning the raid drives and everything, I had a total boot time of under two minutes.  I don't know of this will work on any other system, model, or configuration, but this exact card, a P283 using a ribbon cable in slot 1 worked for me. I now have dual screens, an extended desktop, and a very happy client.  This was my server I had used: Dell Poweredge 2950 III CPU: Dual Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.5GHz RAM: 16GB Bios: Newest version as of 10/23/2014 HDD: 4x500GB in RAID 10, 2x2TB in RAID 0 PCIe-Slot-1: Nvidia NVS 285, 128MB, P283, PCIe-x16 mounted upside down using a x8 to x16 adapter.  PCIe-Slot-2: Sound Blaster Audigy FX 5.1. PCIe-x1 PCIe-Slot-3: Cmedia 5.1 Digital Sound Card PCIe-x1  RAID: PERC6i Removed DRAC card completely. No other changes or mods to the system. I hope this helps someone. I built this for a client I had that needed a new radio station server and it ended up turning out awesome, once I found the right card to use.
