PCI Subsystem 
The primary I/O buses for the Intel
®
 Compute Module MFS5520VI are PCI Express* Gen1 and 
PCI Express* Gen2 with six independent PCI bus segments.  
PCI Express* Gen1 and Gen2 are dual-simplex point-to point serial differential low-voltage 
interconnects. A PCI Express* topology can contain a host bridge and several endpoints (I/O 
devices). The signaling bit rate is 2.5 Gbit/s one direction per lane for Gen1 and 5.0 Gbit/s one 
direction per lane for Gen2. Each port consists of a transmitter and receiver pair. A link between 
the ports of two devices is a collection of lanes (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, and so on.). All lanes within 
a port must transmit data using the same frequency.  
The following table lists the characteristics of the PCI bus segments. Details about each bus 
segment are provided in the following table.

USB 2.0 Support 
The USB controller functionality integrated into ICH10R provides the Compute Module with an 
interface for up to ten USB 2.0 ports. All ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed 
capable.
