Memory Mapped Enables or disables the support for the PCIe devices that need large amounts of memory. Enable this option only I/O above 4 GB for 64-bit operating systems. This option is set to Enabled by default. Memory Mapped I/O Base When set to 12 TB, the system maps the MMIO base to 12 TB. Enable this option for an OS that requires 44 bit PCIe addressing. When set to 512 GB, the system maps the MMIO base to 512 GB, and reduces the maximum support for memory to less than 512 GB. Enable this option only for the 4 GPU DGMA issue. This option is set to 56 TB by default. Slot Disablement Enables or disables the available PCIe slots on your system. The slot disablement feature controls the configuration of the PCIe cards installed in the specified slot. Slots must be disabled only when the installed peripheral card prevents booting into the operating system or causes delays in system startup. If the slot is disabled, both the Option ROM and UEFI drivers are disabled. Only slots that are present on the system are available for control. Table 44.
