PCIe Bifurcation Settings
By default, the BIOS will set bifurcation according to the detected PCIe card. Bifurcation
settings can be found in the BIOS under
Advanced > Chipset Configuration > North Bridge
> IIO Configuration > CPU1/CPU2 Configuration
.
Motherboard connector JPCIE3 can provide PCIe lanes to support more NVMe drives, if any.
For NVMe, refer to
If the system configuration deviates from the standard supported setup—for example different
riser cards or NVMe routing—bifurcation may need to be set manually.
