The switch supports automatic PCIe down training to a lower speed and narrower link on each individual link.
If you would like to mix PCIe x4, x8 and x16 links, you need to configure the switch for the widest use case and connect a
reduced number of cables for devices that only need x8 or x4 connectivity.
Support for custom configuration files are available to OEMs. Please contact Dolphin for more information.
