documentation.

4.2 PCI Bus Overview

✎

This section describes the PCI bus in general and highlights bus implementation in this particular

system. For detailed information regarding PCI bus operation, refer to the appropriate PCI

specification or the PCI web site: www.pcisig.com.

These systems implement the following types of PCI buses:

■

PCI 2.3 - Legacy parallel interface operating at 33-MHz

■

PCI Express - High-performance interface capable of using multiple TX/RX high-speed

lanes of serial data streams

The PCI bus handles address/data transfers through the identification of devices and functions on

the bus. A device is typically defined as a component or slot that resides on the PCI bus (although

some components such as the GMCH and ICH8 are organized as multiple devices). A function is

defined as the end source or target of the bus transaction. A device may contain one or more

functions. In the standard configuration these systems use a hierarchy of three PCI buses (Figure

4-1). The PCI bus #0 is internal to the chipset components and is not physically accessible. The

Direct Media Interface (DMI) links the GMCH and ICH8 components and operates as a subset of

the PCI bus. All PCI slots and the NIC function internal to the ICH8 reside on PCI bus #2.
