MAGMA 
34 Appendix A Bus Hierarchy 
In general, it is not possible to predict the actual Bus numbers. We only 
know how they increment starting from the Magma Host Card. 
The key point in the figure of the PCI Bus topology is that the 
connecting cable between the Host Interface Card and the backplane is 
actually a PCI bus itself. This is represented in the Windows Device 
Manager as shown below: 
NOTE 
All PCI cards installed in the PCI Expansion chassis will appear on 
the Third PCI Bus behind the PCI Bus that the Host Interface Card is 
installed on. If you need to know the actual Bus number, right-click 
on the Bus and select Properties.
