Figure 2-17: PCI Arbiter

One of the PCI masters on the ITE IT8209 PCI arbiter is connected to the Intel® ICH9DO

Southbridge. The remaining two are connected to the PCI edge connector to facilitate PCI

expansion on the backplane. Some of the features of the ITE IT8209 PCI arbiter are listed

2.7.3 PCI Interface Edge connector

The PCI interface edge connector is connected to two PCI Masters on the ICH9DO

Southbridge and to two PCI masters on the ITE IT8209 PCI arbiter. The PCI bus edge

connector on the PCIE-Q350 is interfaced to the PCI bus on the backplane thereby

connecting the PCI backplane expansion boards to the Intel® ICH9DO Southbridge. The

PCI bus edge connector is shown in Figure 2-18.
