DekTec PCIe Gen3 Cards Compatibility Issue in Gen4/Gen5 Slots

DekTec has identified, through customer reports, a compatibility issue where PCIe Gen3 cards may fail to initialize when inserted into PCIe Gen4 or Gen5 slots with the Data Link Feature Exchange (DLFE) enabled.

This problem occurs because DLFE messages from PCIe Gen4 slots are not recognized by Gen3 cards, potentially resulting in system stalls and undetectable cards on both Windows and Linux platforms. In some instances, this issue can prevent PCs from booting, displaying a "PCI bus enumeration" error.

To resolve this issue, users are advised to disable DLFE in the BIOS settings. For detailed instructions, please visit our disabling DLFE page.
