Device 1contains the controls associated with the PCI Express x16 root port that is the intended to
attach as the point for external graphics. It is typically referred to as PCI Express* x16 Graphics
Interface port. In addition, it also functions as the virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge.
Warning: When reading the PCI Express "conceptual" registers such as this, you may not get a valid value
unless the register value is stable.
The PCI Express* Specification defines two types of reserved bits: Reserved and Preserved:
• Reserved for future R/W implementations; software must preserve value read for writes to
bits.
• Reserved and Zero: Reserved for future R/WC/S implementations; software must use 0 for
writes to bits.
Unless explicitly documented as Reserved and Zero, all bits marked as reserved are part of the
Reserved and Preserved type that have historically been the typical definition for Reserved.
It is important to note that most (if not all) control bits in this device cannot be modified unless
the link is down. Software is required to first Disable the link, then program the registers, and
then re-enable the link (which will cause a full-retrain with the new settings).
