3.1.1 PCI

Interrupts

PCI Express interrupts are delivered in-band over the PCI Express bus via the Message Signal
Interrupt (MSI) mechanism.

PCI and PCI-X devices can deliver interrupts either by asserting IRQ signals that are routed to
the PXH or Intel

®

IOP332 Storage I/O Processor IOxAPIC, or over the PCI-X bus via MSI. In

either case, the PXH and/or Intel® IOP332 Storage I/O Processor forward the interrupt to the
NB as an Inbound Write for the processor to handle the event.

Table 4 describes how the interrupts for each of the PCI devices are mapped to the PXH and
