10. On the Error Reporting tab, leave all options off.
11. Specify the Link settings listed in Table 2–7.
12. On the Slot Capabilities tab, leave the Slot register turned off.
13. Specify the Power Management parameters listed in Table 2–4.
14. Specify the BAR settings for Func0 listed in Table 2–5.
15. You can leave Func0 BAR3 through Func
16. 0 BAR5 and the Func0 Expansion ROM Disabled.
17. Under the Base and Limit Registers heading, disable both the Input/Output and
Prefetchable memory options. (These options are for Root Ports.)
18. For the Device ID Registers for Func0, specify the values listed in the center
column of Table 2–6. The right-hand column of this table lists the value assigned to
Altera devices. You must use the Altera values to run the reference design
described in AN 456 PCI Express High Performance Reference Design. Be sure to use
your company’s values for your final product.
