Hi Tom's hardware forum guys!

I'm trying to build a server but want to use a video card (no integrated graphics). The only problem is, as far as I'm concerned this mobo i'm using (S5520UR) doesn't have a normal pci slot. What it does have, as the title mentions, is a 280-pin intel adapter riser card slot. I googled a little to find out theoretically seen I should be able to use a riser card to attach my gpu to it (the gpu is a r7 240). Do you guys have any idea what I have to buy for this to work?

Thanks in advance,

"Integrated graphics Server Engine* LLC Pilot II* Controller with 64 MB DDR2 memory, 8 MB allocated to graphics"

Board has integrated graphics

"Slot types
1U chassis: 1 PCI Express* 2.0 x16 slot
2U chassis: 3 or 5 PCI Express 2.0 x8 slots or
3 PCI Express 2.0 x8 slots and 2 PCI-X 133 slots"

And normal PCI Express slots to use for graphics.

As per specs here.

So any riser card should do? As for the integrated graphics, they don't work as they broke a while ago...

EDIT: for example this one?
