System component health status
The Sensor Monitoring list in the Dashboard page of the AMI MegaRAC SP-X GUI shows the health
status of individual system components. More detailed sensor information is available in the Server
Health > Sensor Readings page.

Component identification
Definition
Each PCIe version corresponds to a specific data
transfer rate between the processor and peripheral
devices. Generally, a version update corresponds to an
increase in transfer rate.
•
PCIe 1.x
•
PCIe 2.x
•
PCIe 3.x
The PCIe technology is under constant development.
For the latest information, see the PCI-SIG website.
PCIe devices communicate through a logical
connection called an interconnect or link. At the
physical level, a link is composed of one or more lanes.
The number of lanes is written with an "×" prefix with
×16 being the largest size in common use.
•
×1
•
×2
•
×4
•
×8
•
×16
These numbers correspond to the maximum link
bandwidth supported by the slot.
