Installation Notices for the U.2, M.2, SATA and PCI Express Connectors:
Due to the limited number of lanes provided by the Chipset, the availability of the U.2 and SATA connectors may
be affected by the type of devices installed in the M2M_32G, M2P_32G, PCIEX1_1, PCIEX1_2, and PCIEX4_2
connectors. Refer to the following table for details.

(Note 1) M2P_32G and U2_32G_1 operate at up to x2 mode when both are populated with a PCIe device.
(Note 2) You can only use one of the M2P_32G and U2_32G_1 connectors for RAID at a time. In BIOS Setup,
you can decide which of the two can have the bandwidth priority over the other one.
(Note 3) PCIEX4_2 and U2_32G_2 operate at up to x2 mode when both are populated with a PCIe device.
(Note 4) You can only use one of the PCIEX4_2 and U2_32G_2 connectors for RAID at a time. In BIOS Setup,
you can decide which of the two can have the bandwidth priority over the other one.
