PCI BUS OVERVIEW

NOTE: 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 PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2.


These systems implement a 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus (spec. 2.2)
operating at 33 MHz. 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 MCH and ICH2 are organized as multip
devices). A function is defined a

le

s the end source or target of the bus transaction. A device may

ontain one or more functions.

he AGP

PCI bus #1. All PCI slots and the NIC function internal to the 82801BA reside on

CI bus #2.



c

In the standard configuration these systems use a hierarchy of three PCI buses (Figure 4-1). The
PCI bus #0 is internal to the 815E chipset components and is not physically accessible. T
bus that services the AGP slot (or resident AGP controller on the Small Form Factor) is
designated as
