F10 and then selecting “Yes” to confirm. 6. Verify Configuration Once the system restarts, you can verify the configuration in the BIOS or through the operating system using diagnostic tools that display PCIe lane distribution. This setup allows the PCIe slot to split its lanes, enabling it to support multiple devices like NVMe SSDs on a single x16 slot by treating them as four separate x4 links.
