12.11.4 Changing the Maximum PCIe Data Rate Settings for Connector

The Maximum PCIe Data Rate displays the maximum PCIe data rate between the controller and the drives connected to the connector. This setting allows to change the maximum PCIe data rate of the connector on Adaptec Smart Storage Controller. The supported values are PCIe 3.0, PCIe 4.0, and PCIe 5.0.
Note: The maximum PCIe data rate will be displayed only if it is supported by the controller. A reboot is required for the new maximum PCIe data rate to take effect.
To change the Maximum PCIe Data Rate settings from the connector level:
  1. In the Enterprise View, select a connector.
  2. On the ribbon, in the Controller group, click Set Properties.

    The Set Properties window opens.

  3. From the Maximum PCIe Data Rate drop-down list, change the maximum PCIe data rate setting for the connector to PCIe 3.0, PCIe 4.0, or PCIe 5.0.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Reboot the server.
