I have an Fedora-16/64 computer in which I have plugged in an

HP DM5700, acts as though it's not there? Dmidecode shows the
PCI Express system slot "available" with the card present.
I looked at the BIOS setup stuff and saw nothing that I
recognize as controlling that, but it could be something I don't
know.
So I guess my question is does it seem that I should be able to
plug the card in and have Fedora-16 recognize it? Does the fact
that it doesn't show up in dmidecode indicate that there is a
more basic problem, perhaps a jumper missing, etc. None of the
HP DM5700 documentation I have found is of much use in this area.

I think I have found an answer, at least for a similar HP model.
It is not a standard PCIe circuit!
NOTES:
* The dc5700 supports Normal (or Non-reversed) layout ADD2
(Advanced Digital Display 2) adapter cards inserted into the
SDVO (Serial Digital Video Output) connector on the system
board. This connector has the physical appearance of a PCIe
x16 connector; however, conventional PCIe cards are not
supported in this connector.
So I guess there will be no USB 3 on that computer.
