Hi @A123-N ,

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities.
The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter I225-T1's System Interface Type is PCIe 3.1 (5 GT/s).
In general, PCIe 3.1 / 3.0 also supports backward compatibility, so a PCIe 3.1 device can connected to a PCIe 3.0 system but may have stability issue.
Please refer to this specification: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/211808/intel-ethernet-network-adapter-i225t1/specifications.html

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Thank you.
