IBM PC730/PC750 - PCI To PCI bridges not supported

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
PC 700 Series PCI and ISA systems are incompatible with adapters that use a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip.

Problem Isolation Aids:
None.

Fix:
Do not use adapters with a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip with the PC 700. PCI adapters that use a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip provide multiple PCI functions on one adapter. For example, a PCI Ethernet adapter with four Ethernet controllers on a single adapter uses a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip for control. Any PCI adapter with a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip will be ignored by the system and will not function.
