Processor and Chipset Intel® Server Board SDS2
3. Processor and Chipset
The Server Works* ServerSet III HE-SL chipset provides the 36-bit address, 72-bit data (64-bit
data + 8-bit ECC) processor host bus interface , operating at 133 MHz in the AGTL signaling
environment. The HE-SL North Bridge provides an integrated memory controller, the interface to
32-bit, 33-MHz Rev 2.2 compliant PCI bus, and two Inter-Module Bus interfaces. The InterModule Bus (IMB) provides the interface to two 64-bit, 66-MHz Rev 2.2 compliant PCI buses via
the CIOB20.
The SDS2 DP Server Board direct ly supports up to 6 GB of ECC memory, using six PC-133compliant registered SDRAM DIMMs. The ECC implementation in the HE-SL can detect and
correct single-bit errors, and it can detect multiple-bit errors.
3.1 Processors
The SDS2 Server Board supports two Intel® Pentium® III processors in the Socket 370 FCPGA2
package. If two processors are installed, both processors must be of identical revisions with the
same core voltage and speed for the bus and core. If one processor is installed, an AGTL
terminator module must be installed in the other socket. The support circuitry on the Server
Board consists of the following:
• Dual Socket 370 FCPGA2 processor sockets supporting 133-MHz FSB (if using one
processor, an AGTL terminator module goes in the empty socket)
• Processor host bus AGTL support circuitry, including termination power supply
Table 1. SDS2 Intel® Pentium® III Processor Support Matrix
• All processor sockets must be populated with either a processor or a terminator module.
The BMC will not allow DC power to be applied to the system unless both processor
sockets contain a properly seated processor or terminator module.
• Processors should be populated in the sequential order. In other words, processor
socket #1 should be populated before processor socket #2.
• BIO 50 (released on FAB 5) supports the tB1 stepping, CPUID 06B4. These processors
are being evaluated for addition to supported processor list. The current Intel support
web site has the latest supported processor list for SDS2:
The SDS2 Server Board has dual, on board, RM circuitry to support the two processors. The
circuit is compliant with the VRM8.5 specification and provides a maximum of 60A, which will
support the currently available processors and future releases of the Pentium III processors.
The board hardware and the BMC read the processor VID (Voltage Identification) bits for each
processor before turning on the power to the processors (VRMs). If the VIDs of the two
processors are not identical, then the BMC will not turn on the VRMs and a beep code is
generated. Table 30. BMC Beep Codes lists all of the error codes.
3.2 Memory Subsystem
The SDS2 Server Board supports up to six DIMM sockets for a maximum memory capacity of 6
GB using 1 GB DIMMs. The DIMM organization is x72, which includes 8 ECC check bits. ECC
from the DIMMs is passed through to the processor front side bus.
The SDRAM interface runs at the same frequency as the processor bus. The memory controller
supports 2-way interleaved SDRAM, memory scrubbing, single-bit error correction, and multiplebit error detection. Memory can be implemented with either single-sided (one row) or doublesided (two row) DIMMs.
• Only registered PC-133 compliant memory is supported
• Support is 2-way interleaved SDRAM and requires two DIMMs to be installed per bank.
• ECC si ngle-bit error correction and multiple-bit error detection
• Maximum memory capacity of 6 GB
• Minimum memory capacity of 128 MB
Note: Memo ry interleaving is a way to increase memory performance by allowing the system to
access multiple memory modules simultaneously, rather than sequentially, in a similar fashion to
Hard Drive striping. Interleaving can only take place between identical memory modules.
An I2C* bus is between the BMC and the six DIMM slots. This bus is used by the system BIOS to
retrieve DIMM information needed to program the HE-SL memory registers which are required to
boot the system.
The following table provides the I2C addresses for each DIMM slot.
The Server Works* ServerSet III HE-SL chipset provides an integrated I/O bridge and memory
controller and a flexible I/O subsystem core (PCI), targeted for multiprocessor systems and
standard high-volume servers. The Server Works* ServerSet III chipset consists of the three
components listed below:
• CNB20HE-SL: Champion North Bridge. The HE-SL North Bridge is responsible for
accepting access requests from the host (processo r) bus and for directing those
accesses to memory or to one of the PCI buses. The HE-SL monitors the host bus,
examining addresses for each request. Accesses may be directed to a memory request
queue, for subsequent forwarding to the memory subsystem, or to an outbound request
queue, for subsequent forwarding to one of the PCI buses. The HE-SL also accepts
inbound requests from the CIOB20 and the legacy PCI bus. The HE-SL is also
responsible for generating the appropriate controls to control data transfer to and from
the memory.
• CIOB20: Champion I/O Bridge. The CIOB20 provides the interface for two 64-bit, 66-
MHz Rev. 2.2 compliant PCI bus. The CIOB is both master and target on both PCI
buses.
• CSB5: South Bridge. The CSB5 controller has several components. It provides the
interface for a 32-bit, 33-MHz Rev. 2.2-compliant PCI bus. The CSB5 can be both a
master and a target on that PCI bus. The CSB5 also includes a USB controller and an
IDE controller. The CSB5 is also responsible for much of the power management
functions, with ACPI control registers built in. The CSB5 also provides a number of GPIO
pins and has the LPC bus to support low-speed legacy I/O.

3.3.1 CNB20HE-SL Champion North Bridge
The Champion North Bridge Rev 2.0 High End Super Lite (CNB20HE-SL) is the third generation
product in the Server Works Champion North Bridge Technology. The HE-SL is a 644-pin ballgrid array (BGA) device and uses the proven components of previous generations like the
Pentium Pro Bus interface unit, the PCI interface unit, and the SDRAM memory interface unit. In
addition, the HE-SL incorporates a proprietary Intra Module Bus (IMBus) Interface. The IMBus
interface enables the HE-SL to directly interface with the CIOB20 through its two unidirectional
16-bit wide data busses with parity support. The HE-SL also increases the main memory
interface bandwidth and maximum memory configuration with a 144-bit wide memory interface.
The HE-SL integrates three main functions:
• An integrated high-performance main memory subsystem
• An IMBus interface that provides a high-performance data flow path between the Pentium
Pro bus and the I/O subsystem
• A PCI interface which provides an interface to the compatibility PCI bus segment and the
CSB5 (South Bridge).
Other features provided by the HE-SL include the following:
• Full support of ECC on the processor bus
• Full support of ECC on the memory interface
• Eight deep in-order queue
• Full support of registered PC-133 ECC SDRAM DIMMs
• Support for 6 GB of 2-way interleaved SDRAM
• Memory scrubbing
3.3.1.1 PCI Bus P32-A I/O Subsystem
The HE-SL provides a legacy 32-bit PCI subsyst em and acts as the central resource on this PCI
interface.
P32-A supports the following embedded devices and connectors:
• CSB5: South Bridge
• Two Intel® 82550PM 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI network interface controllers
• An ATI RAGE XL Video Controller with 3D/2D graphics accelerator
• Two 32-bit, 33-MHz 5V full length PCI Slots

3.3.2 CIOB20 Champion I/O Bridge
The Champion I/O Bridge (CIOB) is a 352-pin ball-grid array device and provides an integrated
I/O bridge that provides a high-performance data flow path between the IMBus and the 64-bit I/O
subsystem. This subsystem supports peer 64-bit PCI segments. Because it has multiple PCI
interfaces, the CIOB can provide large and efficient I/O configurations. The CIOB functions as
the bridge between the IMBus and the multiple 64-bit PCI I/O segments.
The IMBus interface can support 512 MB/s of data bandwidth in both the upstream and
downstream direction simultaneously.
The internal PCI arbiter implements the Least Recently used algorithm to grant access to
requesting masters.
3.3.2.1 PCI Bus P64-B I/O Subsystem
P64-B supports two 64-bit, 66-MHz 3.3V full-length PCI slots.
3.3.2.2 PCI Bus P64-C I/O Subsystem
P64-C supports the following embedded devices and connectors:

4. I/O Subsystem
4.1 PCI Subsystem
The primary I/O bus for SDS2 DP Server Board is PCI, with three PCI bus segments. The PCI
buses comply with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev 2.2. The P32-A bus segment is directed
through the HE-SL North Bridge while the two 64bit segments, P64-B and P64-C, are directed
through the CIOB20 I/O Bridge. The table below lists the characteristics of the three PCI bus
segments.
Table 4. PCI Bus Segment Characteristics
PCI Bus Segment Voltage Width Speed Type PCI Slots
P32-A 5 V 32-bits 33-MHz Peer Bus Slots 3 and 4 – Full Length
P64-B 3.3 V 64-bits 66-MHz Peer Bus Slots 1 and 2 – Full Length
P64-C 3.3 V 64-bits 66-MHz Peer Bus Slots 5 and 6 – Full Length
Note: When an add-in 33-MHz PCI card is plugged into a P64 bus segment, such as in the P64C slot 5, this reduces the bus speed for all devices attached to that bus segment, including the
on-board SCSI controller.
4.1.1 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI Subsystem
All 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI I/O for the SDS2 Server Board is directed through the HE-SL North
Bridge. The 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI segment created by the HE-SL is called the P32-A segment. The
P32-A segment supports full-length, full-height PCI cards and contains the following embedded
devices and connectors:
• 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator: ATI RAGE XL Video Controller
• Two Network Interface Controller: Intel 82550 Fast Ethernet Controller
• PCI Slots 3 and 4
• CSB5 South Bridge (PCI -to-LPC bridge)
Each of the embedded devices above, except for the CSB5 South Bridge, is allocated a GPIO to
disable the device.
4.1.1.1 Device IDs (IDSEL)
Each device under the PCI hub bridge has its IDSEL signal connected to one bit of AD [31:16],
which acts as a chip select on the PCI bus segment in configuration cycles. This determines a
unique PCI device ID value for use in configuration cycles. The following table shows the bit to
which each IDSEL signal is attached for P32-A devices, and corresponding device description.

4.1.1.2 P32-A Arbitration
P32-A supports seven PCI masters (ATA RAGE XL, two Intel 82550s, PCI masters from slots 3
and 4, CSB5, and HE-SL). All PCI masters must arbitrate for PCI access, using resources
supplied by the HE-SL. The following table defines the arbitration connections.
There are two 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI busses directed through the CIOB20 I/O Bridge. Both segments
support full-length, full-height PCI cards. The PCI cards must meet the PCI specification for height,
inclusive of cable connections and memory. The two PCI segments are peer buses.
4.1.2.1 Device IDs (IDSEL)
Each device under the PCI hub bridge has its IDSEL signal connected to one bit of AD [31:16],
which acts as a chip select on the PCI bus segment in configuration cycles. This determines a
unique PCI device ID value for use in configuration cycles. The following tables show the bit to
which each IDSEL signal is attached for P64-B and P64-C devices, and corresponding device
description.
P64-B supports three PCI masters (PCI masters from slots 1 and 2, and CIOB). All PCI
masters must arbitrate for PCI access, using resources supplied by the CIOB. The following
table defines the arbitration connections.
P64-C supports four PCI masters (PCI masters from slots 5 and 6, onboard SCSI, and CIOB).
All PCI masters must arbitrate for PCI access, using resources supplied by the CIOB. The
following table defines the arbitration connections.
4.1.2.4 Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) Capable PCI Slot 6
The SDS2 Server Board supports zero-channel RAID controller on PCI Slot 6. This add-in card
leverages the on-board SCSI controller along with its own built-in intelligence to provide a
complete RAID controller subsystem on-board. If a specified zero-channel RAID card is
installed, then SCSI interrupts are routed to the RAID card instead of PCI interrupt controller and
the host -based I/O device is effectively hidden from the system. The SDS2 Server Board uses
an implementation commonly referred to as “RAIDI OS” to support this feature.
Note: Zero Channel Raid Cards (ZCR) cards are only supported on PCI slot 6.
Note: Intel zero channel raid cards SRCMR and SRCMRU are not supported on SDS2.
4.2 Ultra160 SCSI
The SDS2 Server Board provides an embedded dual-channel SCSI bus through the use of the
Adaptec*’s AIC-7899W SCSI controller. The AIC-7899W controller contains two independent
SCSI controllers that share a single 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI bus master interface as a multifunction
device, packaged in a 456-pin BGA. Internally, each controller is identical, capable of operations
using either 16-bit SE or LVD SCSI providing 40 MBps (Ultra-wide SE), 80 MBps (Ultra 2), or 160
MBps (Ultra160). Each controller has its own set of PCI configuration registers and SCSI I/O
registers. The SDS2 Server Board supports disabling of the on-board SCSI controller through
the BIOS setup menu.
The SDS2 Server Board provides active terminators, termination voltage, re-settable fuse , and
protection diode for both SCSI channels. The SCSI BIOS setup menu (CNTRL -A) provides the
ability to enable or disable the on-board terminators for both channels A and B.
4.3 Video Controller
The SDS2 Server Board provides an ATI* RAGE XL PCI graphics accelerator, along with video
SDRAM and support circuitry for an embedded SVGA video subsystem. The ATI* RAGE XL chip
contains a SVGA video controller, clock generator, 2D and 3D engine, and RAMDAC in a 272-pin
PBGA. Two 2 MB SDRAM chips provide 4 MB of video memory . The SVGA subsystem supports
a variety of modes, up to 1024 x 768 resolution in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 2D and up to 800
x 600 resolution in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 3D. It also supports both CRT and LCD
monitors at up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate. The SDS2 Server Board provides a standard 15pin VGA connector.
4.3.1 Video Modes
The RAGE XL chip supports all standard IBM* VGA modes. The following table shows the 2D/3D
modes supported on the CRT. The table specifies the various display resolution, refresh rates

4.5 CSB5 South Bridge (PCI -to-LPC Bridge, IDE, USB)
The CSB5 is a multi-function PCI device, housed in a 256-pin BGA device, providing PCI -to-LPC
bridge, PCI IDE interface, PCI USB controller, and power management controller. Each function
within the CSB5 has its own set of configuration registers. Once configured, each appears to the
system as a distinct hardware controller sharing the same PCI bus interface.
In the SDS2 Server Board implementation, the primary role of the CSB5’ is to provide the
gateway to all PC-compatible I/O devices and features. The SDS2 uses the following CSB5
features:
• PCI bus interface
• LPC bus interface
• IDE interface, with Ultra DMA 100 capability
• Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface
• PC-compatible timer/counter and DMA controllers
• APIC and 8259 interrupt controller
• Power management
• General purpose I/O
Following are descriptions of how each supported feature is implemented in SDS2.
4.5.1 PCI Bus Interface
The CSB5 fully implements a 32-bit PCI master/slave interface, in accordance with the PCI
Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. On the SDS2 Server Board, the PCI interface operates at
33 MHz, using the 5 V signaling environment.
4.5.2 PCI Bus Master IDE Interface
The CSB5 acts as a PCI -based Fast IDE controller that supports programmed I/O transfers and
bus master IDE transfers. The CSB5 supports two IDE channels, supporting two drives each
(drives 0 and 1). The FAB 5 (PBA A58285-502) SDS2 Server Board supports two IDE channels
through the standard 40-pin (2x20) connector. Note FAB 4 boards (PBA A58285-402 and –403)
supported only one IDE channel.
The SDS2 IDE interface supports the following features:
