Protocols

— PCI Bus Support

Version 1.10

Figure 12-6 shows a server system with two PCI Host Buses and one PCI Root Bridge per PCI Host

Bus. This system supports up to 512 PCI Buses, but the PCI I/O, PCI Memory Space, and PCI
Prefetchable Memory Space are not shared between the two PCI Root Bridges. The firmware for
this platform would produce two instances of the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol.
