Configuring NVMe PCIe Resource Padding

Use the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option to configure PCIe resources to support PCIe hot-add for NVMe drives.
Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > PCIe Device Configuration Options > NVMe PCIe Resource Padding.
  2. Select a setting.
    • Normal—When this option is selected, PCIe resources are only allocated to devices installed at boot time, and PCIe hot-add is not supported.

    • Medium—When this option is selected, additional PCIe resources are allocated for each PCIe Root Port, which might enable a PCIe hot-add event to work without requiring a system reboot to enumerate the device.

    • High—When this option is selected, a maximum amount of PCIe resources are set aside to allow for the best chance of supporting a PCIe hot-add event.

  3. Save your setting.
