| Note | *1 The PCIe x4_3 slot shares bandwidth with PCIex1_3. The PCIe x4_3 runs x2 mode by default. |
| *2 When the M.2_1 socket is operating in SATA mode, SATA port 1 will be disabled. | |
| *3 When the M.2_2 socket is operating in PCIEX4 mode, SATA port 5. 6 will be disabled. | |
| *4 This function will work depending on the CPU installed. | |
| *5 Due to limitations in HDA bandwidth, 32-Bit/192kHz is not supported for 8-Channel audio. |
