Abstract
In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a first interface, an upstream device detector, a second interface, and a processor. The first interface receives a multi-channel connection. The upstream device detector is to detect a connection to external graphical processor unit (eGPU) via the first interface. The second interface is to connect a peripheral device that transmit data over the multi-channel connection via the first interface through the eGPU and to a host computer. The processor disables a portion of the multi-channel connection on the first interface when the upstream device detector detects the connection to the eGPU.
