Abstract:
Techniques for configuring a system may include selecting one of a plurality of I/O slots to be allocated a number of lanes connected to a processor; and responsive to selecting the one I/O slot, sending a selection signal to a multiplexer that selects the one I/O slot from the plurality of I/O slots and configures the number of lanes for use by the one I/O slot where the number of lanes connect the one I/O slot to the processor. The system may be a data storage system and the lanes may be PCIe lanes used for data transmission. For each I/O slot, an I/O module may be inserted, removed or replaced (e.g., removed and then replaced with a new I/O card). A management controller may select the one I/O slot and send the selection signal in accordance with one or more policies. The system may support hot plug I/O modules.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 4 , wherein the policy indicates to allocate the number of lanes to the one I/O slot rather than the second I/O slot when an I/O module is inserted into the one I/O slot and when no I/O module is inserted in the second I/O slot.
