The PCIe lane from the Intel® ICH7 chipset of the PPC-37xx-N270 is interfaced to the

Realtek RTL8111E PCIe gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controllers. The RTL8111E controllers

are then connected directly to the RJ-45 connectors on the bottom panel and provides

external GbE connectivity. Some of the RTL8111E controller features are listed below:

Integrated 10/100/1000 transceiver

Supports PCI Express™ 1.1

Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab

Supports IEEE 802.1P Layer 2 Priority Encoding

Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging

Serial

EEPROM

Transmit/Receive on-chip buffer support

2.4.3 External USB Connectors

There are two USB 2.0 connectors on the bottom panel of the PPC-37xx-N270 (the

PPC-37xxB-N270 series has four USB connectors). Both USB 2.0 connectors are

interfaced directly to the USB controllers on the ICH7-M southbridge. These USB

connectors are fully compliant with USB specification Revision 2.0 and USB specification

Revision 1.1 and can be interfaced to both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 compliant devices.
