PCI-X

48

Byte

PCI-X bus number. Values 00h through FEh shall represent a valid PCI bus.

 

 

 

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 non-PATA

 

 

 

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.
