actual bus assignment number
** Indicates the number of physical electrical lanes running to the connector
NOTE: All slots are non-hot-plug Default bus assignment. Inserting cards with PCI bridges may
alter the actual bus assignment number. Slots are enumerated differently based on the
operating system. Microsoft operating systems enumerate from lowest to highest Device ID by
bus (starting with the lowest bus).
