The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-1600/E5-2600/E5-4600 product families are the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core enterprise processors built on 32-nanometer process technology. Throughout this document, the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-1600/E52600/E5-4600 product families may be referred to as simply the processor. Where information differs between the EP and EP 4S SKUs, this document uses specific Intel® Xeon® processor E5-1600 product family, Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 product family, and Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 product family notation.Based on the low-power/high performance 2nd Genera tion Intel® Core™ Processor Family microarchitecture, the processor is designed for a two chip platform consisting of a processor and a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) enabling higher performance, easier validation, and improved x-y footprint. The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-1600 product family and the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 product family are designed for Efficient Performance server, workstation and HPC platforms. The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 product family processor supports scalable server and HPC platforms of two or more processors, including “glueless” 4-way platforms. Note: some processor features are not available on all platforms.

These processors feature per socket, two Intel® QuickPath Interconnect point-to-point links capable of up to 8.0 GT/s, up to 40 lanes of PCI Express* 3.0 links capable of

8.0 GT/s, and 4 lanes of DMI2/PCI Express* 2.0 interface with a peak transfer rate of

5.0 GT/s. The processor supports up to 46 bits of physical address space and 48-bit of virtual address space.

Included in this family of processors is an integrated memory controller (IMC) and integrated I/O (IIO) (such as PCI Express* and DMI2) on a single silicon die. This single die solution is known as a monolithic processor.

Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, shows the processor 2-socket and 4-socket platform

configuration. The “Legacy CPU” is the boot processor that is connected to the PCH component, this socket is set to NodeID[0]. In the 4-socket configuration, the “R emote CPU” is the processor which is not connected to the Legacy CPU.

This chapter describes the interfaces supported by the processor.

2.1 System Memory Interface

2.1.1 System Memory Technology Support

The Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) supports DDR3 protocols with four independent 64-bit memory channels with 8 bits of ECC for each channel (total of 72-bits) and supports 1 to 3 DIMMs per channel depending on the type of memory installed. The type of memory supported by the processor is dependent on the target platform:

• Intel® Xeon® processor E5 product family-based platforms support: — ECC registered DIMMs: with a maximum of three DIMMs per channel allowing

up to eight device ranks per channel.

— ECC and non-ECC unbuffered DIMMs: with a maximum of two DIMMs per

channel thus allowing up to four device ranks per channel. Support for mixed non-ECC with ECC un-buffered DIMM configurations.

2.1.2 System Memory Timing Support

The IMC supports the following DDR3 Speed Bin, CAS Write Latency (CWL), and command signal mode timings on the main memory interface:

• tCL = CAS Latency

• tRCD = Activate Command to READ or WRITE Command delay

• tRP = PRECHARGE Command Period

• CWL = CAS Write Latency

• Command Signal modes = 1n indicates a new command may be issued every clock

and 2n indicates a new command may be issued every 2 clocks. Command launch mode programming depends on the transfer rate and memory configuration.

2.2.1 PCI Express* Architecture

Compatibility with the PCI addressing model is maintained to ensure that all existing applications and drivers operate unchanged. The PCI Express* configuration uses standard mechanisms as defined in the PCI Plug-and-Play specification.

The PCI Express* architecture is specified in three layers: T ransaction Layer, Data Link Layer, and Physical Layer. The partitionin g in the component is not necessarily along these same boundaries. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the PCI Express* Layering Diagram.

Figure 2-1. PCI Express* Layering Diagram

26 Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1600/E5-2600/E5-4600 Product Families

PCI Express* uses packets to communicate information between components. Packets are formed in the Transaction and Data Link Layers to carry the information from the transmitting component to the receiving component. As the transmitted packets flow through the other layers, they are extended with additional information necessary to handle packets at those layers. At the receiving side, the reverse process occurs and packets get transformed from their Physical Layer representation to the Data Link Layer representation and finally (for Transaction Layer Packets) to the form that can be processed by the Transaction Layer of the receiving device.

2.2.1.1 Transaction Layer

The upper layer of the PCI Express* architecture is the Transaction Layer. The Transaction Layer's primary responsibility is the assembly and disassembly of Transaction Layer Packets (TLPs). TLPs are used to communicate transactions, such as read and write, as well as certain types of events. The Transaction Layer also manages flow control of TLPs.

2.2.1.2 Data Link Layer

The middle layer in the PCI Express* stack, the Data Link Layer, serves as an intermediate stage between the Transaction Layer and the Physical Layer. Responsibilities of Data Link Layer include link management, error detection, and error correction.

The transmission side of the Data Link Layer accepts TLPs assembled by the Transaction Layer, calculates and applies data protection code and TLP sequence number, and submits them to Physical Layer for transmission across the Link. The receiving Data Link Layer is responsible for checking the integrity of received TLPs and for submitting them to the T ransaction Layer for further processing. On detection of TLP error(s), this layer is responsible for requesting retransm ission of TLPs until information is correctly received, or the Link is determined to have failed. The Data Link Layer also generates and consumes packets which are used for Link management functions.

2.2.1.3 Physical Layer

The Physical Layer includes all circuitry for interface operation, including driver and input buffers, parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversion, PLL(s), and impedance matching circuitry . It also includes logical functions related to interface initialization and maintenance. The Physical Layer exchanges data with the Data Link Layer in an implementation-specific format, and is responsible for converting this to an appropriate serialized format and transmitting it across the PCI Express* Link at a frequency and width compatible with the remote device.

2.2.2 PCI Express* Configuration Mechanism

The PCI Express* link is mapped through a PCI-to-PCI bridge structure. PCI Express* extends the configuration space to 4096 bytes per-device/function, as

Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1600/E5-2600/E5-4600 Product Families 27 Datasheet Volume One

compared to 256 bytes allowed by the Conventional PCI Specification. PCI Express* configuration space is divided into a PCI-compatible region (which consists of the first

256 bytes of a logical device's configuration space) and an extended PCI Express* region (which consists of the remaining configuration space). The PCI-compatible region can be accessed using either the mechanisms defined in the PCI specification or using the enhanced PCI Express* configuration access mechanism described in the PCI Express* Enhanced Configuration Mechanism section.

The PCI Express* Host Bridge is required to translate the memory-mapped PCI Express* configuration space accesses from the host processor to PCI Express* configuration cycles. To maintain compatibility with PCI configuration addressing mechanisms, it is recommended that system software access the enhanced configuration space using 32-bit operations (32-bit aligned) only.

See the PCI Express* Base Specification for details of both the PCI-compatible and PCI Express* Enhanced configuration mechanisms and transaction rules.

2.3 DMI2/PCI Express* Interface

Direct Media Interface 2 (DMI2) connects the processor to the Platform Controller Hub (PCH). DMI2 is similar to a four-lane PCI Express* supporting a speed of 5 GT/s per lane. This interface can be configured at power-on to serve as a x4 PCI Express* link based on the setting of the SOCKET_ID[1:0] and FRMAGENT signal for processors not connected to a PCH.

Interfaces

Note: Only DMI2 x4 configuration is supported.

2.3.1 DMI2 Error Flow

DMI2 can only generate SERR in response to errors, never SCI, SMI, MSI, PCI INT, or GPE. Any DMI2 related SERR activity is associated with Device 0.

2.3.2 Processor/PCH Compatibility Assumptions

The processor is compatible with the PCH and is not compatible with any previous MCH or ICH products.

2.3.3 DMI2 Link Down

The DMI2 link going down is a fatal, unrecoverable error. If the DMI2 data link goes to data link down, after the link was up, then the DMI2 link hangs the system by not allowing the link to retrain to prevent data corruption. This is controlled by the PCH.

Downstream transactions that had been successfully transmitted across the link prior to the link going down may be processed as normal. No completions from downstream, non-posted transactions are returned upstream over the DMI2 link after a link down event.

2.4 Intel QuickPath Interconnect

The Intel QuickPath Interconnect is a high speed, packetized, point-to-point interconnect used in the 2nd Generation Intel(r) Core(TM) Processor Family. The narrow high-speed links stitch together processors in distributed shared memory and integrated I/O platform architecture. It offers much higher bandwidth with low latency. The Intel QuickPath Interconnect has an efficient architecture allowing more interconnect performance to be achieved in real systems. It has a snoop protocol

Datasheet Volume One

Interfaces

optimized for low latency and high scalability, as well as packet and lane structures enabling quick completions of transactions. Reliability, availability, and serviceability features (RAS) are built into the architecture.

The physical connectivity of each interconnect link is made up of twenty differential signal pairs plus a differential forwarded clock. Each port supports a link pair consisting of two uni-directional links to complete the connection between two components. This supports traffic in both directions simultaneously. To facilitate flexibility and longevity, the interconnect is defined as having five layers: Physical, Link, R outing, Transport, and Protocol.

• The Physical layer consists of the actual wires carrying the signals, as well as

circuitry and logic to support ancillary features required in the transmission and receipt of the 1s and 0s. The unit of transfer at the Physical layer is 20-bits, which is called a Phit (for Physical unit).

• The Link layer is responsible for reliable transmission and flow control. The Link

layer’s unit of transfer is 80-bits, which is called a Flit (for Flow control unit).

• The Routing layer provides the framework for directing packets through the

fabric.

• The Transport layer is an architecturally defined layer (not implemented in the

initial products) providing advanced routing capability for reliable end-to-end transmission.

• The Protocol layer is the high-level set of rules for exchanging packets of data

between devices. A packet is comprised of an integral number of Flits.

The Intel QuickPath Interconnect includes a cache coherency protocol to keep the distributed memory and caching structures coherent during system operation. It supports both low-latency source snooping and a scalable home snoop behavior. The coherency protocol provides for direct cache-to-cache transfers for optimal latency.

2.5 Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI)

The Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) uses a single wire for self-clocking and data transfer. The bus requires no additional control lines. The physical layer is a self-clocked one-wire bus that begins each bit with a driven, rising edge from an idle level near zero volts. The duration of the signal driven high depends on whether the bit value is a logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’. PECI also includes variable data transfer rate established with every message. In this way, it is highly flexible even though underlying logic is simple.

The interface design was optimized for interfacing to Intel processor and chipset components in both single processor and multiple processor environments. The single wire interface provides low board routing overhead for the multiple load connections in the congested routing area near the processor and chipset components. Bus speed, error checking, and low protocol overhead provides adequate link bandwidth and reliability to transfer critical device operating conditions and configuration information.

The PECI bus offers:

• A wide speed range from 2 Kbps to 2 Mbps

• CRC check byte used to efficiently and atomically confirm accurate data delivery

• Synchronization at the beginning of every message minimizes device timing accuracy requirements

Note: The PECI commands described in this document apply primarily to the Intel® Xeon®

processor E5-1600/E5-2600/E5-4600 product families. The processors utilizes the capabilities described in this document to indicate support for four memory channels. Refer to Table 2-1 for the list of PECI commands supported by the processors.

• Platform manageability functions including thermal, power, and error monitoring — The platform ‘power’ management includes monitoring and control for both the

processor and DRAM subsystem to assist with data center power limiting.
