Abstract
A system for expanding the loading capacity of a PCI bus in an information processing system having a multiple bus architecture. In one embodiment, the system comprises a processor-to-PCI bridge connected to a plurality of PCI-to-PCI bridges to generate multiple PCI buses. A plurality of add-in board connectors are coupled to each of the generated PCI buses. In another embodiment, the system comprises two or more processor-to-PCI bridges connected to a plurality of PCI-to-PCI bridges to generate multiple PCI buses. The resulting system expands the loading capacity of a PCI bus while adding resistance to single point failures.
