1. PCIEX16_4 shares bandwidth with SATA6G_5 & STATA6G_6 when using 28-lane & 16-lane CPUs.
PCIEX16_2 shares bandwidth with USB 3.1 Gen 2 front panel connector when using 16-lane CPUs.
PCIEX16_2 max. at x4 mode when using 44 & 28 lane CPUs,only compatible with PCIe x1 & x4 devices,PCIEX16_4 max. at x2 mode in 44-lane & 28-lane CPUs
PCIEX16_2 max. at x1 mode & PCIEX16_4 max. at x2 mode in 16-lane CPUs.
2. PCIEX1_1 shares bandwidth with Wi-Fi 802.11ad. It is disabled by default.PCIEX1_2 shares bandwidth with SATA6G_7. It is disabled by default. 
3. The M.2_2 socket shares bandwidth with U.2 port. Adjust BIOS settings to use U.2 device.
4. The SATA6G_7 shares bandwidth with PCIEX1_2. SATA6G_5 & SATA6G_6 shares bandwidth with PCIEX16_4 when using 28-lane & 16-lane CPU.
