PCI Bus Numbering in a Microsoft Windows NT Environment 20 Configuration A, ProLiant ML530 (highly parallel architecture), a two configuration scenario: This scenario walks through a simple Windows NT configuration and shows how the bus numbers change when you add a new controller to the server. Two tables with a side bar description of what the PCI BIOS does during the discovery process illustrate the configurations. Configuration B, ProLiant 8000 (triple-peer architecture), a more complex two configuration scenario: We modified the server to include additional disk and network controllers. Two tables with a side bar description of what the PCI BIOS does during the discovery process illustrate the configurations. Configuration C, ProLiant DL580 (triple-peer architecture), another more complex scenario: This demonstrates the slot ordering difference when additional network controllers are inserted out of order in the configuration. Two tables with a side bar description of what the PCI BIOS does during the discovery process illustrate the configurations. Configuration A, ProLiant ML530 All the controllers included in this configuration were installed in the server before Windows NT was loaded on the system. Windows NT detected network controllers in the original configuration during the installation process. However, when the configuration is modified in Test 2, PCI bus renumbering does occur. Configuration A: Test 1 - Initial Configuration This bus number and controller discovery test was performed on a simple configuration in a dualpeer PCI ProLiant ML530 server. This configuration is described as simple because it contains one non-bridged PCI network controller and one bridged PCI network controller (see the results in Table 6). 13UK-1200A-WWEN
