PCI Express Features
Supports three HALF-length cards
This chassis includes a PCI Express Gen 2 switch. Any two x4 ports, can merge to form an 8-lane port. Therefore, the
x8 connector is used twice which allows slot 3 to be 8-lanes or slot 3 to be 4-lanes and slot 4 to be 4-lanes.
The total PCIe lanes for all 3 slots are 16 lanes. Combinations can be:
X8, x8
X8, x16 – note: the x16 will run at x8 speed
X8, x4, x4
X8, x8, x4 – note: the second x8 will only run at x4 speed
X8, x16, x4 – note: the x16 will only run at x4 speed
Thunderbolt Features
