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
PCIe v1.0a
10/100/1000BASE-T full/half-duplex MAC
Wake on LAN support meeting the ACPI requirements
Statistics for SNMP MIB II, Ethernet-like MIB, and Ethernet MIB (802.3z,
clause 30)
Serial EEPROM or serial flash support
JTAG support
2.7.3 Mini PCIe
The Mini PCIe socket supports Mini PCIe cards that are compliant with PCI Express Base
Specification, Revision 1.0a. The Mini PCIe cards are easily installed into the socket. Mini
PCIe cards are 30mm wide, 50.95mm long and 5mm high and come with a single 52-pin
edge connector. Supported Mini PCIe components include wireless LAN cards,
