Bus Architecture Optimized
ProLiant 5000 Servers feature Dual Peer PCI Buses that provide
high-bandwidth I/O with two buses operating simultaneously. Aggregate
bandwidth is 267 megabytes per second.
Each PCI bus is assigned specific functions.
Primary PCI Bus
Supports dedicated PCI slots 5-8
Supports the EISA bridge bus which in turn
Supports up to three EISA slots (one dedicated, two shared
EISA/PCI)
Supports integrated EISA peripherals (video, timers,
keyboard, mouse)
Secondary PCI Bus
Supports PCI on shared slots 2 and 3 and dedicated slot 4
Supports the integrated Fast-Wide SCSI-2 controller
