|
|
Host Bus Type | Offset | Type | Definition |
| 48 | Byte | |
|
|
| Value FFh shall indicate that this field is not used. |
|
|
|
|
| 49 | Byte | PCI slot number. Values 00h through FEh shall represent a valid PCI slot. |
|
|
| Value FFh shall indicate that this field is not used. |
|
|
|
|
| 50 | Byte | PCI function number. Values 00h through FEh shall represent a valid PCI |
|
|
| function. |
|
|
| Value FFh shall indicate that this field is not used. |
|
|
|
|
| 51 | Byte | Channel number. If more than one interface of the same type is accessed |
|
|
| through a single Bus, Slot, Function, then the channel number shall identify |
|
|
| each interface. If there is only one interface, the content of this field shall be |
|
|
| cleared to zero. If there are two interfaces, such as an ATA Primary and |
|
|
| Secondary interface, the primary interface shall be zero, and the secondary |
|
|
| interface shall be one. |
|
|
| Values 00h through FEh shall represent a valid Channel Number. |
|
|
| Value FFh shall indicate that this field is not used. |
|
|
| If the device is connected to a SATA controller functioning in |
|
|
| emulation mode, this byte shall be FFh. |

8.20.3 Device Path
The Device Path at offset 56 combined with the Interface Path allows software external to a system BIOS to locate a specific mass storage device. The Device Path field provides a path from an interface to a specific device. The format of the Device Path at offset 40 through 47 is dependent on the Interface type.
