nic won't fit

I'm having a problem fitting a gigabit adapter in a 1u server. Just can't get everything to seat properly. This is a Netgear GA302T and an Intel S815EBM1 motherboard.

It would work if I could remove the two extra PCI connectors from the motherboard. Is that possible?

Do I need to get a special nic designed for 1u servers?

Thanks
