11–Troubleshooting Guidelines Caveats

Examine the following hex output:

...... 82 04 00 00 01 00 82

link width

link width

From the lspci hex output:

c0: 10 00 02 00 02 80 00 00 00 10 0b 00 82 04 00 00

_________ capability. “82 04" = x8 PCIe Gen2

Note that some PCIe chip sets with a x16 link may not support a PCI Express x8 link width. A link is required to support only its maximum width and x1. Check the motherboard specification to determine if its PCIe x16 slot can autonegotiate to x8.

On some motherboards, the PCIe slots are all the same physical size required by a x16 slot, but electrically they are different widths. Check the motherboard specification for the supported width of each of the PCIe slots.
