<p>Firmware operating in a MMB sets, before system startup, a value into each of identical hardware equipped in PCI devices (for example, units (1 to n)), the value being determined based on the mounting position of each of the PCI devices and being non-overlapped with other values and unique in a system (partition). That is, the value initially set into each of the identical hardware is changed before system startup so as to become a value that is non-overlapped with other values and unique. When the system is started up, the hardware sets the value set by the firmware of the MMB into a register of an IO-switch corresponding to each PCI slot as a physical slot number.</p> |
