Integrated Peripherals
The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC incorporate an SMSC Super I/O (SIO) chip. The SIO provides the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC with two 16550 UART-compatible serial ports, keyboard and mouse port. The keyboard and mouse ports are available via the front panel using a standard PS/2 type connector. COM1 is accessed via the front panel. COM2 is routed to the VME P2 connector.
COM ports 3 and 4 are also provided by the 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub and are routed to the VME P2 connector.
The parallel IDE interface is provided by the Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub. The IDE interface supports two channels: primary and secondary. The secondary channel is routed onboard to the optional CompactFlash socket. The primary channel is routed out of the VME P2 backplane connector to an RTM which terminates into a standard 40-pin header. This channel can support a master and slave drive. The IDE interface on the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC supports Ultra ATA/33, Ultra ATA/66 and Ultra ATA/100 drives and automatically determines the proper operating mode based on the type of drive used. In order to properly function in the Ultra 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 Ultra ATA/100 drive manufacturer.
A Serial ATA Drive Interface is also provided by the 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub. The Serial ATA port can be used alone or in limited conjunction with the parallel IDE interface.
NOTE: Selection of drive type (parallel or serial), along with detailed IDE/ATA selections is available in the CMOS Advanced BIOS Setup Menu.
Ethernet Controller

Ethernet Controller
The network capability is provided by the Intel 82546EB for the VMIVME-7807 or the Intel 82546GB for the VME-7807RC Ethernet Controller for Gigabit Ethernet and the Intel 82551 10/100 Mbit Ethernet. These Ethernet controllers are PCI bus based and are software configurable. The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC supports 10BaseT, 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT Ethernet.
10BaseT
A network based on the 10BaseT standard uses unshielded twisted-pair cables, providing an economical solution to networking by allowing the use of existing telephone wiring and connectors. The RJ45 connector is used with the 10BaseT standard. 10BaseT has a maximum length of 100 meters.
100BaseTX
The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC also supports the 100BaseTX Ethernet. A network based on a 100BaseTX standard uses unshielded twisted-pair cables and a RJ45 connector. 100BaseTX has a maximum length of 100 meters.
1000BaseT
The VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC support 1000BaseT Ethernet using the Intel 82546EB for the VMIVME-7807 or the Intel 82546GB for the VME-7807RC dual Ethernet controller. The interface uses shielded cables with four pairs of conductors, along with an RJ45 connector on the front panel or routed to the VME P2 connector.
The Gigabit Ethernet is also available with the optional VITA 31.1 routed out of the optional P0 connector.
NOTE: Ethernet activity is noted on the front panel LEDs by a blinking yellow LED.
The yellow LED will be on continuously when the Ethernet port is linked but with no activity.
Video Graphics Adapter
The SVGA port on the VMIVME-7807/VME-7807RC is controlled by the Intel 855GME Graphic and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH). The GMCH is hardware and BIOS compatible with the industry SVGA and digital video standards supporting both VESA high-resolution and extended video modes. Table 2-2 and Table 2-3 show the graphics video modes supported by the GMCH video controller for analog monitors.
Not all SVGA monitors support resolutions and refresh rates beyond 640 x 480 at 85Hz. Do not attempt to drive a monitor to a resolution or refresh rate beyond its capability.
NOTES: The VMIACC-0586/ACC-0586RC or the VMIACC-0590/ACC-0590RC RTMs are required for graphics operation when using the digital video out the P2 backplane connector.
