ICH7M SATA Controller
The integrated SATA controller on the ICH7M southbridge supports two SATA drives on
the NANO-9452 with independent DMA operations. SATA controller specifications are
listed below.
Supports two SATA drives
Supports 3Gb/s data transfer speeds
Supports Serial ATA Specification, Revision 1.0a

ICH7M USB Controller
Up to six high-speed, full-speed or low-speed USB devices are supported by the ICH7M
on the NANO-9452. High-speed USB 2.0, with data transfers of up to 480MB/s, is enabled
with the ICH7M integrated Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) compliant host
controller. USB full-speed and low-speed signaling is supported by the ICH7M integrated
Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) controllers.
2.7 PCIe Bus Components
2.7.1 PCIe Bus Overview
The PCIe bus is connected to components listed below:
Two PCIe GbE Broadcom LAN chipsets
One Mini PCIe socket
2.7.2 Broadcom PCI Express GbE interface
The BCM5787M Broadcom PCI Express (PCIe) GbE controller is a 10/100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet LAN controller. The BCM5787M combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant
Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, a PCIe bus
interface, and an on-chip buffer memory. Some of the BCM5787 controller features are
listed below:
Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T transceiver
Automatic MDI crossover function
