These options allow you to determine how the motherboard‟s PCI Express interface shall process PCIe
interface data packets from the PCIe option card slots. The
Auto
option instructs the motherboard BIOS to
use the automatic interface configuration features inherent in the PCI Express protocol. Once the values
have been defined, they display each time Advanced Setup is run.
Relaxed Ordering
Relaxed Ordering is a configuration option that allows PCIe data packets to be processed ahead of
data packets already in the execution queue. The PCIe Transaction Layer Protocol header has a
relaxed ordering parameter that an option card may take advantage of in setting-up high priority
message transactions. This option enables, disables or allows the automatic relaxed ordering of
PCIe data packets.
The Setup screen displays the system option:
