Bus Hierarchy
The following figure is representative of the PCI Bus hierarchy for the
The key point in the following figure of the 7 Slot Topology is the connecting cables between the Host Interface and the Expansion Backplane is actually a PCI bus itself.
In general, we do not know what the actual Bus numbers are. We only know how they increment starting from the MAGMA Host Interface.
7 Slot Topology
NOTE
All PCI cards installed in the PCI Expansion System will appear on the Third PCI Bus behind the PCI Bus that the Host Interface is installed on.
