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 20):
A system comprising:\n a plurality of I/O slots; one or more processors; and a memory comprising code stored therein, that, when executed, performs a method of configuring a system comprising:\n periodically polling the plurality of I/O slots to determine for each I/O slot a type of I/O module, if any, inserted in the I/O slot; \n selecting one of the plurality of I/O slots to be allocated a number of lanes connected to a first of the one or more processors; and \n 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 said one I/O slot to the first processor.
