PCI-based RS/6000 servers support attachment of devices using the following bus types:
Devices on PCI-based RS/6000 systems might be of two types: native devices, such as the integrated SCSI controller and the serial controller or attached (non-native) devices, such as the supported PCI or ISA adapters.
The device information required to configure the integrated devices is contained in the firmware and is passed to the operating system through the residual data written to NVRAM. Thus, integrated devices are configured automatically to AIX after system reboot. Attached PCI devices and adapters are configured automatically at system start-up, provided required device drivers are installed on the system. However, ISA adapters have to be configured manually.
