Description
Intel has observed that PCI Express* (PCIe) 3.0 adapters operating at PCIe* 3.0 speed may generate errors in the
System Event Log (SEL) when installed in one of the server platforms listed above. This issue may occur when
adapters are used in the standard PCIe* connector slots or when connected to the Storage IO connectors on these
products. These combinations of adapters and platforms do not generate errors in SEL when running at PCIe* 2.0
speeds.
