2.7 PCIe Bus Components
2.7.1 PCIe Bus Overview
The PCIe bus is connected to components listed below:
One PCIe x16 slot
Two PCIe GbE Broadcom LAN chipsets
2.7.2 PCIe x16 Expansion
The GMCH has one PCIe x16 port reserved for a PCIe x16 graphics card. The PCIe x16
lane is interfaced to a PCIe x16 slot on the KINO-9454. The PCIe x16 graphics card is
then installed on the PCIe x16 slot on the KINO-9454.
2.7.3 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:
