Description
Enable (default) or disable Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) to
configure devices into multiple virtual devices that can be used on
virtual OS installations. If supported by the hardware and set to
enabled, all devices on the system that are SR-IOV capable are
configured to support SR-IOV and I/O resources are allocated to the
device as normal. If set to disabled, I/O resources are not allocated
to the device.
Enable or disable (default) Bus Master Attribute (BME) Direct
Memory Access (DMA) that is disabled after PCI enumeration for
PCI bridges, after SMM is locked.
Enable (default) or disable PCI Express device relaxed ordering.
Enable to allow device to use the 8-bit tag field as a requester or
disable (default) the option.
Enable (default) the PCI Express device no snoop option or disable
the option.
Select the maxium payload for a PCI Express device or select Auto
(default) to allow BIOS to select the value.
Select the maxium read request size for a PCI Express device or
select Auto (default) to allow BIOS to select the value.
By default, the Active State Power Management (ASPM) option is
disabled. Select Auto to allows BIOS to configure ASPM. Select
Force L0s to force all links to the L0s state. Warning: Enabling
ASPM might cause some PCIe devices to fail.
By the default, the option is disabled. Enabling Extended Synch
allows the generation of extended synchronization patterns.
Specifies the number of retry attempts (2, 3, or 5) that the software
makes to retrain the link, if a previous attempt was unsuccessful.
Default is 5.
Specifies the number of microseconds the software waits before
polling the Link Training bit in the Link Status register. The valus are
10-10000 uS. Default is 1000.
To save power, the software disables the unpopulated PCIe links if
you select Disable Link. Default is Keep Link ON.
In device functions that support completion timeout, allows the
system software to change the Completion Timeout value. Default is
50 us to 50 ms. You can select Shorter or Longer to change the
timeout length of time or disable the timeout.
If Alternative Routing ID Interpretation (ARI) Forwarding is
supported by the hardware and enabled, the Downstream Port
disables its Device Number field of 0 enforcement, when turning a
Type1 Configuration Request into a Type0 Configuration Request.
Enabling ARI Forwarding allows access to Extended Functions in an
ARI Device immediately below the port. Default is Disabled.
