i350 rtegister setup for working on PCIe extetnder cables.

[Bad0512]

Hi, all.

In my application there are some requirements for using i350 based NIC card on long distance (approx 30cm.) PCIe extender cables. Sometime this setup works very unstable (one card works well, but another one does not works at all). The question is do I need to modify EEPROM content or to reprogram PHY link related registers to improve PCIe signal conditions for such long distance cables?

Best regards,
