I have a X520-T2 dual 10Gbe NIC (uses 8xPCIe 2.0 lanes) which has a x8 footprint.
Will this work properly in a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot which states it "supports x4 mode"?
I think this means that the big slot (x16) has 4 PCIe4.0 lanes associated (x4) so that is equivalent to 16 x PCIe 2.0 lanes - more than enought, but will the mismatch in pins make a difference?
Many thanks for guidance!

Paul
