Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for configuring a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE). A plurality of PCIE parameters are stored in a storage unit. When a computer system starts up, a North Bridge chip is driven to read the PCIE parameters in the storage unit for configuring the PCIE. According to the configuration method of the present invention, when the computer system starts up, the North Bridge chip and the storage unit are enabled first. Then, the North Bridge chip is driven to read the PCIE parameters. Finally, the North Bridge chip proceeds with initialization according to the PCIE parameters to configure PCIE.
