4.2. PCIe x16-to-two-x8 Adapter Card

The Express-IB can be used with the PCIe x16-to-two-x8 Adapter Card on the Express-BASE6 Reference Carrier to support bifurbication of
the CPU's PEG interface (PCIe x16). The card reroutes the PCIe x16 to two x8 and allows testing of two independent PCIe add-on cards

with x8/x4/x2/x1 width. To use the card, set SW1 to "2 x8 PCI Express" as above.
