3.2 Platform
Configuration
In platforms that support DMI (e.g. this MCH) the configuration structure is significantly
different from previous Hub architectures. The DMI physically connects the MCH and the Intel
ICH6; so, from a configuration standpoint, the DMI is logically PCI bus 0. As a result, all devices
internal to the MCH and the Intel ICH6 appear to be on PCI bus 0.
The ICH6 internal LAN controller does not appear on bus 0; it appears on the external PCI bus
(whose number is configurable).
The system’s primary PCI expansion bus is physically attached to the Intel ICH6 and, from a
configuration perspective, appears to be a hierarchical PCI bus behind a PCI-to-PCI bridge and
therefore has a programmable PCI Bus number. The PCI Express Graphics Attach appears to
system software to be a real PCI bus behind a PCI-to-PCI bridge that is a device resident on PCI
bus 0.
Note:
A physical PCI bus 0 does not exist and that DMI and the internal devices in the MCH and Intel
ICH6 logically constitute PCI Bus 0 to configuration software. This is shown in Figure 3-1.
