Will a PCI Express x1 TV tuner work on a PCI Express x16 slot ?
The Promise card has a PCIe 2.0 8X interface, and the motherboard has a single PCIe 2.0 16x slot.
My questions is: Even though the PCIe 2.0 16x slot on the motherboard is generally intended to be used for graphics, can I expect other types of PCIe 2.0 cards to function in that slot?
I am planning on using only the onboard video processor for display, and I need the RAID adapter in this server.
Answer
It will work. PCIe will use disable what ever lanes are not in use. The 16x slot isn't dedicated to graphics in anyway - it is the same as any other PCIe slot. It's just that the only PCIe cards most use are graphics cards.
