VID headers provide for manual control of the processor core voltage regulatoroutputlevel(s). Normally, the processor should be run at its default VID (voltageidentification) value as set during manufacturing. However, in the eventthe user needs to set a different VID value from the defaultvalue,it can be accomplished through ajumper block found on the board.
Development Kit
Note:
These headers are not populated by default. IMVP-6 Controller VID input 0 and 6are tied low. Initial boards will not have the VID Header populated,processor must have VID override enabled for the initial IntelDuo Processor samples. The, VID override enable, jumper controls whether or not the VID header jumpers control the VID to the regulator or not.

4.0Platform Management
The following sections describehow the system power management operates, and howthe different ACPI states are implemented. Platform management involves:
•ACPI implementation-specific details
•Systemmonitoring, control, and response tothermal,voltage, and intrusion events
•BIOS security
4.1Power Button
The system power button is connected to the I/O controller component. When thebutton is pressed, the I/Ocontroller receives the signal and transitions the system tothe proper sleep state as determined by the operating system and software. If the power button is pressed and held for four seconds,thesystem powers off (S5 state). This feature is called power button override and is particularly helpful in caseof systemhang and system lock. The power button is locatedat location SW3E1on the board.
4.2Sleep States Supported
The I/O controller controls the system sleep states. States S0, S1, S3, and S5 are supported. The platform enters sleep states in response to BIOS, operating system, oruser actions. Normally the operating system determineswhich sleep state to transition into. However, a four second power button override event places the systemimmediately into S5. When transitioning into a software-invoked sleep state, the I/O controller attempts to gracefully put the system to sleep by first going into the processor C2 state.
4.2.1S0 State
This is the normal operating state, even though there are some power savings modesin this state using processor Halt and Stop Clock (processor C1 and C2 states). S0affords the fastest wake-up response time of any sleep state because the systemremains fully powered and memory is intact.
4.2.2S1 State
This state is entered viaaprocessor Sleepsignal from the I/O controller (processorC3 state). The system remains fully powered with memory contents intact but theprocessors enter their lowest power state. Wake-up latency is slightly longer inthisstate than in S0; however, power savings are improved from S0.
4.2.3S2 State
This stateis not supported.
January 2007User’s ManualOrder Number: 316068-001US39
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor and Intel® Core™ Duo Processor with Intel® E7520 Chipset Development Kit
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor and Intel® Core™ Duo Processor with Intel® E7520 Chipset
4.2.4S3 State
This state is called Suspend to RAM (STR). The system context is maintained in system DRAM, but power is shut off to non-critical circuits. Memory is retained, and refreshes continue. All clocks stop except the RTC. S3 is entered when the I/Ocontroller assertsthe SLP_S3# signal to downstream circuitry to control 1.8V power plane switching.Power must be switched from the normal 1.8V rail to standby 1.8V, because the450W SSI 12V power supply does not directly supply a standby 1.8Vrail. The sequenceto enter Suspend to RAM is as follows:
1.The OS and BIOSprepare for S3 sleep state.
2.The OS sets the appropriate sleep bits in the I/O controller.
3.The I/O controller drives STPCLKto the processor.
4.The processor respond with a Stop-Grant cycle, passed over hubinterface by MCH.
5.The I/O controller indicates an S3 (STR) sleep mode to the MCH via Hub Interface A.
6.The MCH puts DDR memory into the self-refresh mode.
7.The MCH drives DDR CMDCLK differential pairs and all DDR outputs low.
8.The MCH drives a completion message via Hub Interface A to the I/O controller.
9.The I/O controller turns off all voltage rails (except Standby 5V) from the mainpower supply by asserting the SLP_S3_N signal.
When in theS3 state, only the standby 5Vrail is available from the power supply. Theboard uses this standby source to generate 1.8V standby rail to power the DIMMs.
Development Kit
Theasserted SLP_S3_Nsignal also controlsthe logic to switch the DIMM power sourcefrom main 1.8V to standby 1.8V.
4.2.5S4 State
This state is not supported.
4.2.6S5 State
This state is the normal off state whether entered through the power button or softoff.All power is shutoffexcept for the logicrequired to restart. The system remains in theS5 state only while the power supply is plugged into the electrical outlet. If the power supply is unplugged, this is considered a mechanical off or G3.
4.2.7Wake-Up Events
The types of wake-up events and wake-uplatencies are related to the actual power rails available to the system ina particular sleep state, as well as to the location inwhich the system contextis stored. Regardless of the sleep state, wake on the power button is always supported except in a mechanical off situation. Whenin a sleep state,the systemcomplieswiththe PCI specification by supplying theoptional3.3 V standby voltage to each PCI slotas well asthe PME# signal. This enables any compliant PCI card to wake up the system from any supported sleep state except mechanical off.
4.2.8Wake from S1 Sleep State
DuringS1 the system is fully powered, permitting support for PCI Express* Wake andWake on PCI PME#.
4.2.9Wake from S3 State
Keyboard press or mouse movement is used to wake from S3.

4.2.10Wakefrom S5 State
The power button is used to wake from S5.
4.3PCI PM Support
Thisdesign holds the system reset signal lowwhen in a sleep state. The systemsupports the PCIPME# signal and provides 3.3Vstandby to the PCI and PCIExpress slots. This support allows anycompliantPCIor PCI Express card to wakeup the systemfrom anysleepstateexcept mechanical off. Because of the limited amount of poweravailable on 3.3V standby, the user and the operating system must configure thesystem carefully following the PCI power management interface specification.
4.4Platform Management
The ADM1023 monitors the majority of the system voltages. All voltage levels can be read via the SMBus.
4.4.1Processor Thermal Management
Eachprocessor monitors its own core temperature and thermally manages itself whenit reaches a certain temperature.The system also uses the internal processor diode tomonitor the die temperature. The diode pins are routed to the diode inputpinsin the ADM1023. TheADM1023 will use its A/D converter to determinethe CPU temperature.When the CPU temperature reaches its threshold, System Management will reactaccordingly to lower the overall system temperature.
4.5System Fan Operation
Power consumption can be adjusted by controlling the fan speed.The fan can be off,running on 5V,or running on12V. The system can adjustthe fanspeed depending onthe CPU temperature. If a system gets too hot, an alert will be sent to the System Management controller. The administratormaythen wantto turnthesystem off butkeep the fan running tocool the system faster.
