Expanding the PCI System
The system board has a PCI-to-PCI bridge controller chipset that expands the
capability of the PCI system. This feature allows all five PCI slots in the
system to be bus masters.
The bridge has two interfaces. The primary interface connects directly to the
PCI bus close to the host CPU. The secondary interface creates a new PCI bus
that can operate independently from the primary PCI bus.
