PE2 – x16 (Gen3, x16 lanes from CPU, x8 shared with PE4)
PE3 – x1 (Gen2, x1 lanes from PCH)
PE4 – x16 (Gen3, x8 lanes from CPU, shares 8 of PE2’s 16 lanes)

M.2 Slot Breakdown
M.2 Lane Distribution
M.2 Key-M (80mm, Top) – x4
o
M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS

M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS
This motherboard does NOT have any lane replication via PLX; all lanes are
native and derived from CPU or PCH. This also allows for improved backwards
compatibility for Gen 2 devices.
