Software Requirements
Because the carrier uses a transparent PCI Express to PCI bridge your system should not need to use any
software other than the standard PCI bridge drivers available for your operating system.
The PMC manufacturer typically supplies the software you need to operate the PMCs.
For special applications where a need to understand the PCI to PCI bridge in more detail is needed, please
obtain the datasheet for the PEX8114 from PLX.

Configuration
A serial EEPROM (location U5 on the adapter) contains configuration data, allowing the PEX8114 to
initialize on power up.
