Abstract
A communication system has multiple communication buses and multiple bus controller cards each supplying at least two independent channels of communication between one or more hosts and the communication buses. One of the controller cards is designated as a primary controller card for managing the communication buses and resetting the communication buses such that if a controller card is inserted to or removed from the system then the buses are reset.
