Port (Lane) Status LEDs

Port (Lane) LEDs

  • PORT0 LED : Lane0~3
  • PORT1 LED : Lane4
  • PORT2 LED : Lane5
  • PORT3 LED : Lane6
  • PORT4 LED : Lane7

LED Status

  • Blink: Gen 1 speed
  • Solid: Gen 2 speed
Switch

  • Payload Size
    Supports up to 512-byte maximum payload size (Default is 256-byte)
  • Swing Level
    700mV: In full swing signaling mode, the transmitters implement de-emphasis.
    400mV: In half swing signaling mode, the transmitters not implement de-emphasis.
  • Virtual Channel 1
    Disable: The unused VC1 queues (buffer) can be reassigned to VC0 and enable each of
    the ingress ports to handle more data traffic bursts. This virtual channel resource
    relocation feature enhances the performance of the PCIe Switch further.
    Enable: Isochronous traffic class mapped to VC1 only
Computer Platform Requirements Desktop computer equipped with a PCIe 2.0/3.0 x4, x8, x16 slot
Computer Platform
  • Computer with PCI Express slot (x4, x8, x16)

Note:
For the best performance (5.0 Gbps), It should be installed in a PCIe Gen 2 compliant slot in the host computer.  Most computers have PCIe Gen 2 (5.0 Gbps) throughput on x8 or x16 slots.
A PCIe Gen 1 compliant slot reaches up to 2.5 Gbps throughput

Operating System Requirements
  • If OS is Windows 8 or later , there are inbox driver for Renesas USB 3.0 Host Controller. OS will detect the presence of new hardware and then install Renesas USB 3.0 Host Controller driver automatically.
