VMICPCI-7755 Product Manual
Integrated Peripherals
The VMICPCI-7755 incorporates a National Semiconductor Super I/O (SIO) chip.
The SIO provides the VMICPCI-7755 with a standard floppy drive controller, two
16550 UART-compatible serial ports keyboard and mouse ports, and general purpose
I/O for system monitoring functions. The floppy and serial port signals are available
via the CompactPCI backplane connectors and can be accessed with the appropriate
transition utility board.
The IDE interface is provided by the Intel I/O Controller Hub (ICH2) chip. The IDE
interface supports two channels known as the primary and secondary channels. The
secondary channel is routed on-board to the optional compact flash socket. The
primary channel is routed out the CompactPCI backplane to a transition utility board
which terminates into a standard 40-pin header. This channel can support two drives,
a master and slave. The IDE interface on the VMICPCI-7755 supports ATA-33,
ATA-66, and ATA-100 drives and automatically determines the proper operating
mode based on the type of drive used. In order to properly function in the ATA-100
mode, a special 80 conductor cable must be used instead of the standard 40 conductor
cable. This cable is typically available from the ATA-100 drive manufacturer.
