10.1.3 Daisy-Chaining

Recognizing the typical insignificance of the performance variance between the "Fan-Out" and "Daisy-Chaining" configurations, the primary
reason for using this one would be limitations on physical space. This could be the number of available slots on the computer motherboard, or a
lack of desk or rack space
In the daisy-chain configuration, successive PCI expansion systems are added to the "end" of the PCI bus hierarchy, which adds "depth" to the
PCI Local Bus by increasing the number of PCI Local Bus levels active in the system configuration.
Verify your configuration
Before you start installing your PCI cards, you should confirm that everything is in proper working order. Refer to Chapter 3 Verify Installation
for guidance in verifying the proper installation of your Expansion System
