Installing PCI Devices

Installing PCI Devices

The devices you install in PCI slots 1 and 2 operate on the primary PCI bus. The devices you install in PCI slots 3, 4, and 5 operate on the secondary PCI bus.

Since the primary PCI bus operates faster than the secondary PCI bus, install PCI add-on boards in PCI slots 1 and 2 first. Then use PCI slots 3, 4, and 5. If you configure your PCI devices in this manner, the system will perform better. See Figure 2-7 in Chapter 2 of this manual for the locations of the PCI slots.
