PCI Bus Numbering in a
Microsoft Windows NT
Environment
Abstract: Computing environments change rapidly to support
business requirements. Typical network PCI-based servers contain a
large number of expansion slots on multiple buses to allow for
system growth. This means that multiple network and disk
controllers of the same type may be installed in one server, with the
intent that each installed controller supports a separate unique
function. This can make it difficult to understand the physical and
logical implications of PCI bus numbering.
This document provides information to help systems engineering
professionals understand how Microsoft Windows NT handles PCI
bus numbering when controllers are physically added, moved, or
removed from a server configuration. This document also includes
ideas and suggestions that can help systems professionals avoid
network downtime due to configuration changes.
IMPORTANT: During the development of Microsoft Windows
2000, Compaq and Microsoft worked closely together effectively
implementing Windows 2000 on Compaq hardware. Through this
partnership, device detection improved, eliminating PCI bus
numbering issues in the Windows 2000 environment. Windows 2000
checks and resets registry settings automatically, unlike its
predecessor that does not reset the registry settings after discovering
unbound devices.
