Abstract
An automatic controller configuration system includes a chassis having a port. A transceiver connected to the port utilizes a number of lanes. A controller in the chassis is coupled to the port. The number of lanes utilized by the transceiver are identified, and the controller is configured to operate at a first speed utilizing the number of lanes. In response to detecting a signal transmitted by the transceiver and determining that a link provided via the transceiver has not been established with the controller operating at the first speed, the controller is reconfigured to operate at a second speed. In response to detecting the signal transmitted by the transceiver and determining that the link provided via the transceiver has been established with the controller operating at the second speed, the controller provides for communications with at least one device via the transceiver and at the second speed.
