On the Extreme Edge Server, the x8 port (PE2) of each CPU is bifurcated into two x4 ports.
These ports connect to the M.2 NVMe modules according to the following table.

PCI Express Gen2
The Integrated PCH Logic additionally implements eight lanes of PCIe Gen2 that can be
split into eight root ports. The ports support Gen1 (2.5Gb/s) and Gen2 (5Gb/s) speeds.
Lanes 1-4 and lanes 5-8 can independently be configured as four x1, two x2, one x2 and
two x1, or one x4 port(s).
On the Extreme Edge Server, lanes 1-4 of CPU1 and CPU2 are configured as four x1 ports.
These ports are connected according to the following table. Default routing of the second
MAC/PHY is to CPU2 on dual-CPU variants, and to CPU1 on single-CPU variants.
