for 64-bit operating systems. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Memory Mapped
I/O above Base
When set to 12 TB, the system will map MMIO base to 12 TB. Enable this option for an OS that requires 44 bit
PCIe addressing. When set to 512 GB, the system will map MMIO base to 512 GB, and reduce 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 conguration
of the PCIe cards installed in the specied slot. Slots must be disabled only when the installed peripheral card
