*1 : The PCIe x16_3, USB3.1_E12 and SATAExpress_E1 connectors share the same bandwidth. The PCIe x16_3's default setting is in Auto mode that automically optimizes the system bandwidth. If you use two of these connectors, the system automatically disables the unused connector.
*2 : M.2 Socket 3 shares bandwidth with SATAExpress_1
*3 : These functions will work depending on the CPU installed.
*4 : These SATA ports are for data hard drivers only. ATAPI devices are not supported.
