C.1 Board Description
The VMP1-HDD1 Module provides the PowerPC-based CPU boards with a cost-effective way
to add substantial mass storage capacity. It is designed to connect a 2.5” IDE hard disk drive
to the PCI bus of those boards. It is based on the silicon image IDE controller SiI0680, which
provides the interface between the 32-bit wide, 33 MHz PCI bus and a standard IDE hard disk
drive. It is able to handle transfer rates up to the ATA-133 speed standard.

Note...
The maximum transfer rate which can be achieved with this module is
restricted by the hard drive in use.
The capacity of the module is defined by the hard drive in use.
