Note: Accesses listed as “unclaimed” in the table for inbound transactions assume the PXB is programmed correctly. If an access were received up the Expander bus that hits in the listed address range, then its behavior is the same as outbound transactions to the same range.

Note: The PXB will never respond to an access that it is the master for. This means that an OB access will not be claimed by the PXB, even if that access hits a range to which the PXB would normally respond with DEVSEL#.

Note: The only ranges the PXB doesn’t claim are MMBASE to MMT, FEF0_0000h to FEFF_FFFFh, and 4G-16M to 4G. If the PCI card initiates a request to any other address, it will be sent up as TPA or memory.
