The Mobile Intel(R) Processor Family IO PCI Express Root Port 9 - 9D18 is a device driver associated with Intel's mobile processors. It acts as a communication bridge between the processor and the PCI Express (PCIe) bus on the motherboard, which is used to connect various hardware components, such as graphics cards, network cards, and storage controllers, to the processor. This root port driver ensures that the operating system and hardware components connected through PCIe can communicate properly.
The "9 - 9D18" refers to a specific instance of the PCI Express Root Port on Intel's mobile chipsets, which often appear in laptops or portable devices. Installing this driver ensures stable operation of PCIe devices, providing proper connectivity and performance for things like GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) cards, Wi-Fi cards, and SSDs that rely on PCIe interfaces.
Before installing the driver manually, check if it's already installed and functioning properly:
Win + X
and select Device Manager.If the driver isn't installed or if you're looking to update it, follow these steps to download the driver:
Visit Intel’s Official Website:
Select the Correct Driver: Make sure to choose the driver that's compatible with your specific version of Windows (e.g., Windows 10, 64-bit). Intel typically packages chipset drivers that include the PCIe Root Port drivers along with other essential drivers for the chipset.
Download the Driver: Once you’ve located the correct driver, download it to your system.
Alternatively, you can also download the Intel Driver & Support Assistant tool, which automatically detects the hardware and recommends the appropriate drivers.
After downloading the driver, proceed with the installation:
You can also update the driver directly through Device Manager:
You can also run diagnostic tests or check for the proper functionality of hardware components connected via PCIe, such as graphics cards or Wi-Fi adapters, to ensure everything is working as expected.
If you prefer an automated way to ensure your system's drivers are up-to-date:
The Mobile Intel(R) Processor Family IO PCI Express Root Port 9 - 9D18 driver is important for ensuring the proper communication between your Intel mobile processor and PCIe devices in your laptop or portable device. By downloading, installing, or updating the driver, you can ensure that your system runs smoothly, with devices connected through PCIe ports functioning correctly.
