and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control. It also supports t he Advanced Configuration Power management
Interface (ACPI), PCI power management for modern operating systems that are capable of Operating System
Directed Power Management (OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power management possible.The
RTL8100C(L) does not support CardBus mode as the RTL8139C does. In addition to the ACPI feature, the
RTL8100C(L) also supports remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet, LinkChg, and Microsoft® wakeupframe) in both ACPI and APM environments. The RTL8100C(L) is capable of performing an internal reset
through the application of auxiliary power. When auxiliary power is applied and the main pow er remains off, the
RTL8100C(L) is ready and wa iting for the Magic Packet or Link Change to wa ke the system up. Also, the
LWAKE pin provides 4 different output signals including active high, active low, positive pulse, and negative
pulse. The versatility of the RTL8100C(L) LWAKE pin provides motherboards with Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
functionality. The RTL8100C(L) also supp orts Analog Auto- Power-down, that is , the analog part of the
RTL8100C(L) can be shut down temporarily according to user requirements or wh en the RTL8100C(L) is in a

B pin is low (i.e. the main power is off), then both the analog and digital parts stop functioning and the power
consumption of the RTL8100C(L) will be negligible. The RTL8100C(L) also supports an a uxiliary power
auto-detect function, and will auto-configure related bits of their own PCI power management registers in
PCI configuration space.

In sub-phase 1 of the address phase, these pins transmit the address of a
transaction. In sub-phase 2, these pins transmit transacti on type
information. These signals must connect the appropriate pins of both
agents on the Intel Pentium M
synchronous signals and are latched into the receiving buffers by
ADSTB[1:0]#. Address signals are used as straps which are sampled
before RESET# is deasserted.
I If A20M# (Address-20 Mask) is asserted, the processor masks physical
address bit 20 (A20#) before looking up a line in any internal cache and
before driving a read/write transaction on the bus. Asserting A20M#
emulates the 8086 processor's address wrap-around at the 1-Mbyte
boundary. Assertion of A20M# is only supported in real mode.
A20M# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of
this signal following an Input/Output write instruction, it must be valid
along with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/Output
Write bus transaction.
I/O ADS# (Address Strobe) is asserted to indicate the validity of the
transaction address on the A[31:3]# and REQ[4:0]# pins. All bus agents
observe the ADS# activation to begin parity checking, protocol
checking, address decode, internal snoop, or deferred reply ID match
operations associated with the new transaction.
I/O Address strobes are used to latch A[31:3]# and REQ[4:0]# on their rising
and falling edges. Strobes are associated with signals as shown below.
Signals Associated Strobe
REQ[4:0]#, A[16:3]# ADSTB[0]#
A[31:17]# ADSTB[1]#
I The differential pair BCLK (Bus Clock) determines the system bus
frequency. All processor system bus agents must receive these signals to
drive their outputs and latch their inputs.
I/O BNR# (Block Next Request) is used to assert a bus stall by any bus agent
that is unable to accept new bus transactions. During a bus stall, the
current bus owner cannot issue any new transactions.
O
BPM[3:0]# (Breakpoint Monitor) are breakpoint and performance
I/O
monitor signals. They are outputs from the processor that indicate the
status of breakpoints and programmable counters used for monitoring
processor performance. BPM[3:0]# should connect the appropriate pins
of all Intel Pentium M processor system bus agents. This includes debug
or performance monitoring tools.

D[63:0]#
DBR#
I BPRI# (Bus Priority Request) is used to arbitrate for ownership of the
processor system bus. It must connect the appropriate pins of both
processor system bus agents. Observing BPRI# active (as asserted by
the priority agent) causes the other agent to stop issuing new requests,
unless such requests are part of an ongoing locked operation. The
priority agent keeps BPRI# asserted until all of its requests are
completed, then releases the bus by deasserting BPRI#.
I/O BR0# is used by the processor to request the bus. The arbitration is done
between the Intel Pentium M processor (Symmetric Agent) and the
MCH-M (High Priority Agent) of the Intel 855PM or Inte l 855GM
chipset.
Analog COMP[3:0] must be terminated on the system board using precision
(1% tolerance) resistors. Refer to the platform design guides for more
implementation details.
I/O D[63:0]# (Data) are the data signals. These signals provide a 64-
path between the processor system bus agents, and must connect the
appropriate pins on both agents. The data driver asserts DRDY# to
indicate a valid data transfer.
D[63:0]# are quad-pumped signals and will thus be driven four times in
a common clock period. D[63:0]# are latched off the falling edge of
both DSTBP[3:0]# and DSTBN[3:0]#. Each group of 16 data signals
correspond to a pair of one DSTBP# and one DSTBN#. The following
table shows the grouping of data signals to data strobes and DINV#.
Quad-Pumped Signal Groups
Data Group DSTBN#/DSTBP# DINV#
D[15:0]# 0 0
D[31:16]# 1 1
D[47:32]# 2 2
D[63:48]# 3 3
Furthermore, the DINV# pins determine the polarity of the data signals.
Each group of 16 data signals corresponds to one DINV# signal. When
the DINV# signal is active, the corresponding data group is inverted and
therefore sampled active high.
O DBR# (Data Bus Reset) is used only in processor systems where no
debug port is implemented on the system board. DBR# is used by a
debug port interposer so that an in-target probe can drive system reset. If
a debug port is implemented in the system, DBR# is a no connect.
DBR# is not a processor signal.

DRDY#
DSTBN[3:0]#
DSTBP[3:0]#
I/O DBSY# (Data Bus Busy) is asserted by the agent responsible for driving
data on the processor system bus to indicate that the data bus is in use.
The data bus is released after DBSY# is deasserted. This signal must
connect the appropriate pins on both processor system bus agents.
I DEFER# is asserted by an agent to indicate that a transactio n cannot be
guaranteed in-order completion. Assertion of DEFER# is normally the
responsibility of the addressed memory or Input/Output agent. This
signal must connect the appropriate pins of both processor system bus
agents.
I/O DINV[3:0]# (Data Bus Inversion) are source synchronous and indicate
the polarity of the D[63:0]# signals. The DINV[3:0]# signals are
activated when the data on the data bus is inverted. The bus agent will
invert the data bus signals if more than half the bits, within the covered
group, would change level in the next cycle.
I DPSLP# when asserted on the platform causes the processor to
transition from the Sleep state to the Deep Sleep state. In order to return
to the Sleep state, DPSLP# must be deasserted. DPSLP# is driven by the
ICH4-M component and also connects to the MCH-M component of the
Intel 855PM or Intel 855GM chipset.
I/O DRDY# (Data Ready) is asserted by the data driver on each data
transfer, indicating valid data on the data bus. In a multi-common clock
data transfer, DRDY# may be deasserted to insert idle clocks. This
signal must connect the appropriate pins of both processor system bus
agents.
I DPWR# is a control signal from the Intel 855PM and Intel 855GM
chipsets used to reduce power on the Intel Pentium M data bus input
buffers.
O FERR# (Floating-point Error)/PBE#(Pending Break Event) is a
multiplexed signal and its meaning is qualified by STPCLK#. When
STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# indicates a floating point when
the processor detects an unmasked floating-point error. FERR# is
similar to the ERROR# signal on the Intel 80387 coprocessor, and is
included for compatibility with systems using MS-DOS* type
floating-point error reporting. When STPCLK# is asserted, an assertion
of FERR#/PBE# indicates that the processor has a pending break event
waiting for service. The asserti on of FERR#/PBE# indicates that the
processor should be returned to the Normal state. When FERR#/PBE# is
asserted, indicating a break event, it will remain asserted until
STPCLK# is deasserted. Assertion of PREQ# when STPCLK# is active
will also cause an FERR# break event.
I GTLREF determines the signal refe rence level for AGTL+ input pins.
GTLREF should be set at 2/3
receivers to determine if a signal is a logical 0 or logical 1.
I/O
HIT# (Snoop Hit) and HITM# (Hit Modified) convey transaction snoop
I/O
operation results. Either system bus agent may assert both HIT# and
HITM# together to indicate that it requires a snoop stall, which can be
continued by reasserting HIT# and HITM# together.
O IERR# (Internal Error) is asserted by a processor as the result of an
internal error. Assertion of IERR# is usually accompanied by a
SHUTDOWN transaction on the processor system bus. This transaction
may optionally be converted to an external error signal (e.g., NMI) by
system core logic. The processor will keep IERR# asserted until the
assertion of RESET#, BINIT#, or INIT#.
I IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) is asserted to force the processor to
ignore a numeric error and continue to execute noncontrol floatinginstructions. If IGNNE# is deasserted, the processor generates an
exception on a noncontrol floating-point instruction if a previous
floating-point instruction caused an error. IGNNE# has no effect when
the NE bit in control register 0 (CR0) is set.
IGNNE# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of
this signal following an Input/Output write instruction, it must be valid
along with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/Output
Write bus transaction.
I/O REQ[4:0]# (Request Command) must connect the appropriate pins of
both processor system bus agents. They are asserted by the current bus
owner to define the currently active transaction type. These signals are

I INIT# (Initialization), when asserted, resets integer registers inside the
processor without affecting its internal caches or floatingThe proc es s o r t hen begi ns execution at t he power on R es et vector
configured during power on configuration. The processor continues to
handle snoop requests during INIT# assertion. INIT# is an asynchronous
signal. However, to ensure recognition of this signal following an
Input/Output Write instruction, it must be valid along with the TRDY#
assertion of the corresponding Input/Output Write bus transacti on.
INIT# must connect the appropriate pins of both processor system bus
agents. If INIT# is sampled active on the active to inactive transition of
RESET#, then the processor executes its Built-in Self-Test (BIST)
I LINT[1:0] (Local APIC Interrupt) must connect the appropriate pins of
all APIC Bus agents. When the APIC is disabled, the LIN T0 signal
becomes INTR, a maskable interrupt request signal , and LINT1
becomes NMI, a nonmaskable interrupt. INTR and NMI are backward
compatible with the signals of those names on the Pentium processor.
Both signals are asynchronous.
Both of these signals must be software configured using BIOS
programming of the APIC register space and used either as NMI/INTR
or LINT[1:0]. Because the APIC is enabled by default after Reset,
operation of these pins as LINT[1:0] is the default configuration.
I/O LOCK# indicates to the system that a transaction must occur atomically.
This signal must connect the appropriate pins of both processor system
bus agents. For a locked sequence of transactions, LOCK# is asserted
from the beginning of the first transaction to the end of the last
transaction.
When the priority agent asserts BPRI# to arbitrate for ownership of the
processor system bus, it will wait until it observes LOCK# deasserted.
This enables symmetric agents to retain ownership of the processor
system bus throughout the bus locked operation and ensure the
atomicity of lock.

readiness.

PWRGOOD
ITP_CLK[1:0]
RESET#
RS[2:0]#
RSVD
SLP#
I PWRGOOD (Power Good) is a processor input. The processor requires
this signal as a clean indication that the clocks and power supplies are
stable and within their specifications. ‘Clean’ implies that the signal will
remain low (capable of sinking leakage current), without glitches, from
the time that the power supplies are turned on until they come within
specification. The signal must then transition monotonically to a high
state. PWRGOOD can be driven inactive at any time, but clocks and
power must again be stable before a subsequent rising edge of
PWRGOOD.
The PWRGOOD signal must be supplied to the processor; it is used to
protect internal circuits against voltage sequencing issues. It should be
driven high throughout the boundary scan operation.
I ITP_CLK[1:0] are copies of BCLK that are used only in processor
systems where no debug port is implemented on the system board.
ITP_CLK[1:0] are used as BCLK[1:0] references for a debug port
implemented on an interposer. If a debug port is implemented in the
system, ITP_CLK[1:0] are no connects. These are not processor signals.
I Asserting the RESET# signal resets the processor to a known state and
invalidates its internal caches without writing back any of their contents.
For a power-on Reset, RESET# must stay active for at least two
milliseconds after VCC and BCLK have reached their proper
specifications. On observing active RESET#, both system bus agents
will deassert their outputs within two clocks. All processor straps must
be valid within the specified setup time be fore R ESET# is deasserted.
I RS[2:0]# (Response Status) are driven by the response agent (the agent
responsible for completion of the current transaction), and must connect
the appropriate pins of both processor system bus agents.
- These pins are RESERVED and must be left unconnected on the board.
However, it is recommended that routing channels to these pins on the
board be kept open for possible future use. Please refer to the platform
design guides for more details.
I SLP# (Sleep), when asserted in Stop-Grant state, causes the processor to
enter the Sleep state. During Sleep state, the processor stops providing
internal clock signals to all units, leaving only the Phase-Locked Loop
(PLL) still operating. Processors in this state will not recognize snoops
or interrupts. The processor will recognize only assertion of the
RESET# signal, deassertion of SLP#, and removal of the BCLK input
while in Sleep state. If SLP# is deasserted, the processor exits Sleep
state and returns to Stop-Grant state, restarting its internal clock signals
to the bus and processor core units. If DPSLP# is asserted while in the
Sleep state, the processor will exit the Sleep state and transition to the
Deep Sleep state.

I SMI# (System Management Interrupt) is asserted asynchronously by
system logic. On accepting a System Management Interrupt, the
processor saves the current state and enter System Management Mode
(SMM). An SMI Acknowledge transaction is issued, and the processor
begins program execution from the SMM handler.
If SMI# is asserted during the deassertion of RESET# the processor will
tristate its outputs.
I STPCLK# (Stop Clock), when asserted, causes the processor to enter a
low power Stop-Grant state. The processor issues a Stop-Grant
Acknowledge transaction, and stops providing internal clock signals to
all processor core units except the system bus and APIC units. The
processor continues to snoop bus transactions and service interrupts
while in Stop-Grant state. When STPCLK# is deasserted, the processor
restarts its internal clock to all units and resumes execution. The
assertion of STPCLK# has no effect on the bus clock; STPCLK# is an
asynchronous input.
I TCK (Test Clock) provides the clock input for the processor Test Bus
(also known as the Test Access Port).
I TDI (Test Data In) transfers serial test data into the processor. TDI
provides the serial input needed for JTAG specification support.
O TDO (Test Data Out) transfers serial test data out of the processor. TDO
provides the serial output needed for JTAG specification support.

for this signal is 4 BCLKs. The minimum hold time is 2 clocks and
the maximum hold time is 20 BCLKs. BREQ0# should be tristated
after the hold time requirement has been satisfied.

5 contains two mechanisms to queue requests by the AGP master. Note that the master can only use
one mechanism. The master may not switch methods without a full reset of the system. When PIPE# is
used to queue addresses the master isnot allowed to queue addresses using the SBA bus. For example,
during configuration time, if the master indicates that it can use either mechanism, the configuration
software will indicate which mechanism the master will use. Once this choice has been made, the
master will continue to use the mechanism selected until the master is reset (and reprogrammed) to use
the other mode. This change of modes is not a dynamic mechanism, but rather a static decision when
the device is first being configured after reset
Pipelined Read: This signal is asserted by the AGP master to
indicate a full width address is to be enqueued on by the target using
the AD bus. One address is placed
in the AGP request queue on each rising clock edge while PIPE# is
asserted. When PIPE# is deasserted no new requests are queued
across the AD bus.
During SBA Operation: This signal is not used if SBA (Side Band
Addressing) is selected.
During F R AM E# Oper atio n: This signal is not used during AGP
FRAME# operation.
PIPE# is a sustained tri-state signal from masters (graphics

(graph ic s co nt rolle r ) to pass addr ess and co m m a nd t o th e GMCH . T h e
SBA bus and AD bus operate independently. That is, transactions can
proceed on the SBA bus and the
AD bus simultaneously.
During PIPE# Operation: These signals are not used during PIPE#
operation.
During F R AM E# Oper atio n: These signals are not used during
AGP FRAME# operation.
NOTE: When sideband addressing is disabled, these signals are
isolated (no external/internal pull-ups are required).

G_TRDY#: Target Ready.
During PIPE# and SBA Operation: Not used while enqueueing
requests via AGP SBA and PIPE#, but used during the data phase of
PIPE# and SBA transactions.
During FRAME# Operation: G_TRDY# is an input when the
GMCH acts as an AGP initiator and is an output when the GMCH
acts as a FRAME#-based AGP target. The assertion of G_TRDY#
indicates the target’s ability to complete the current data phase of the
transaction.
During Fast Write Operation: In Fast Write mode, G_TRDY#
indicates the AGP-compliant target is ready to receive write data for
the entire transaction (when the transfer size is less than or equal to 32
bytes) or is ready to transfer the initial or
subsequent block (32 bytes) of data when the transfer size is greater
than 32 bytes. The target is allowed to insert wait states after each
block (32 bytes) is transferred on write transactions.
G_STOP#: Stop.
During PIPE# and SBA Operation: This signal is not used during
PIPE# or SBA operation.
During FRAME# Operation: G_STOP# is an input when the
GMCH acts as a FRAME#the GMCH acts as a FRAME#-based AGP target. G_STOP# is used
for disconnect, retry, and abort sequences on the AGP interface.
G_ DEVSEL#: Device Select.
During PIPE# and SBA Operation: This signal is not used during

During FRAME# Operation: G_DEVSEL#, when asserted,
indicates that a FRAME#-based AGP target device has decoded its
address as the target of the current access. The GMCH asserts
G_DEVSEL# based on the DDR SDRAM
address range being accessed by a PCI initiator. As an input,
G_DEVSEL# indicates whether the AGP master has recognized a
PCI cycle to it.

During the data phase, the G_CBE[3:0]# signals are used as byte
enables. The byte enables determine which byte lanes carry
meaningful data. The commands issued on the G_CBE# signals
during FRAME#-based AGP transactions are the same G_CBE#
command described in the PCI 2.2 specification.
During PIPE# Operation: When an address is enqueued using
PIPE#, the C/BE# signals carry command information. The command
encoding used during PIPE#-based AGP is different than the
command encoding used during FRAME#-based AGP cycles (or
standard PCI cycles on a PCI bus).
During SBA Operation: These signals are not used during SBA
operation.
Parity.
During FRAME# Operation: G_PAR is driven by the GMCH when
it acts as a FRAME#-based AGP initiator during address and data
phases for a write cycle, and during the address phase for a read
cycle. G_PAR is driven by the GMCH when it acts as a
FRAME#-based AGP target during each data phase of a
FRAME#-based AGP memory read cycle. Even parity is generated
across G_AD[31:0] and G_CBE[3:0]#.

I/O Cycle Frame: The current Initiator drives FRAME# to indicate the
beginning and duration of a PCI transaction. While the Initiator
asserts FRAME#, data transfers continue. When the Initiator
negates FRAME#, the transaction is in the final data phase.
FRAME# is an input to the ICH4 when the ICH4 is the Target, and
FRAME# is an output from the ICH4 when the ICH4 is the Initiator.
FRAME# remains tri- stated by the ICH4 until driven by an
Initiator.
I/O Initiator Ready: IRDY# indicates the ICH4's ability, as an
Initiator, to compl ete the current data phase of the transaction. It is
used in conjunction with TRDY#. A data
clock that both IRDY# an d TRDY# are sampled asserted. During a
write, IRDY# indicates the ICH4 has valid data present on
AD[31:0]. During a read, it indicates the ICH4 is prepared to latch
data. IRDY# is an input to the ICH4 when the ICH4 is the Target
and an output from the ICH4 when the ICH4 is an Initiator. IRDY#
remains tri-stated by the ICH4 until driven by an Initiator.
I/O Target Ready: TRDY# indicates the ICH4's ability, as a Target, to
complete the current data phase of the transaction. TRDY# is used
in conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase is completed when both
TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted.
During a read, TRDY# indicates that the ICH4, as a Target, has
placed valid data on AD[31:0]. During a write, TRDY# indicates
that the ICH4, as a Target, is prepared to latch data. TRDY# is an
input to the ICH4 when the ICH4 is the Initiat or and an output from
the ICH4 when the ICH4 is a Target. TRDY# is tri-stated from the
leading edge of PCIRST#. TRDY# remains tri-stated by the ICH4
until driven by a target.
I/O Calculated/Checked Parity: PAR uses “even” parity calculated on
36 bits, AD[31:0] plus C/BE[3:0]#. “Even” parity means that the
ICH4 counts the number of 1s within the 36 bits plus PAR and the
sum is always even. The ICH4 always calculates PAR on 36 bits
regardless of the valid byte enables. The ICH4 generates PAR for
address and data phases and only guarantees PAR to be valid one
PCI clock after the corresponding address or data phase. The ICH4
drives and tri-states PAR identically to the AD[31:0] lines except
that the ICH4 delays PAR by exactly one PCI clock. PAR is an
output during the address phase (delayed one clock) for all I CH4
initiated transactions. PAR is an output during t he data phase
(delayed one clock) when the ICH4 is the Initiator of a PCI write
transaction, and when it is the Target of a read transaction. ICH4
checks parity when it is the Target of a PCI write transaction. If a
parity error is detected, the ICH4 will set the appropriate internal
status bits, and has the option to generate an NMI# or SMI#.

when the ICH4 is a Target and an input when the ICH4 is an
Initiator. STOP# is tri-stated from the le ading edge of PCIRST#.
STOP# remains tri-stated until driven by the ICH4.
Parity Error:
receives data that has a parity error. The ICH4 drives PERR# when
it detects a parity error. The ICH4 can either generate an NMI# or
SMI# upon detecting a parity error (either detected internally or
reported via the PERR# signal).

I Thermal Alarm: This is an active low signal generated by external
hardware to start the hardware clock throttling mode. The signal can
also generate an SMI# or an SCI.
I Thermal Trip: When low, THRMTRIP# indicates that a thermal
trip from the processor occurred; the ICH4 will immediately
transition to a S5 state. The ICH4 will not wait for the processor
stop grant cycle since the processor has overheated.
O S1 Sleep Control: SLP_S1# provides Clock Synthesizer o r Power
plane control. Optional use is to shut off power to non-critical
systems when in the S1- M (Powered On Suspend), S3 (Suspend To
RAM), S4 (Suspend to Disk) or S5 (Soft Off) states.
O S3 Sleep Control: SLP_S3# is for power plane control. It shuts off
power to all non-critical systems when in S3 (Suspend To RAM),
S4 (Suspend to Disk), or S5 (Soft Off) states.
O S4 Sleep Control: SLP_S4# is for power plane control. It shuts
power to all non-critical systems when in the S4 (Suspend to Disk)
or S5 (Soft Off) state.
S5 Sleep Control:
O
is used to shut power off to all non-critical systems when in the S5
(Soft Off) states.
I Power OK: When asserted, PWROK is an indication to the ICH4
that core power and PCICLK have been stable for at least 1 ms.
PWROK can be driven asynchronously. When PWROK is negated,
the ICH4 asserts PCIRST#.
NOTE: PWROK must deassert for a minimum of 3 RTC clock
periods for the ICH4 to fully reset the powe r and properly generate
the PCIRST# output
I Power Button: The Power Button causes SMI# or SCI to indicate a
system request to go to a sleep state. If the system is already in a
sleep state, this signal causes a wake event. If PWRBTN# is pressed
for more than 4 seconds, this causes an unconditional transition
(power button override) to the S5 state with only the PWRBTN#
available as a wake event. Override occurs even if the system is in
the S1-M–S4 states. This signal has an internal pull-up resistor.
I Ring Indica te: This signal is an input from the modem interface. It
can be enabled as a wake event, and this is preserved across power
failures.
I System Reset: This pin forces an internal reset after being
debounced. The ICH4 will reset immediately if the SMBus is idle;
otherwise, it will wait up to 25 ms ± 2 ms for the SMBus to idle
before forcing a reset on the system.

O Suspend Status: This signal is asserted by the ICH4 to indicate that
the system will be entering a low power state soon. This can be
monitored by devices with memory that need to switch from normal
refresh to suspend refresh mode. It can also be used by other
peripherals as an indication that they should isolate their outputs
that may be going to powered-off planes. This signal is called
LPCPD# on the LPC I/F.
O C3_STAT#: This signal will typically be configured as C3_STAT#.
It is used for indicating to an AGP device that a C3 state transition
is beginning or ending. If C3_STAT# functionality is not required,
this signal may be used as a GPO.

Processor Interface Signals
Signal Name Type Description
A20M#
CPUSLP#
FERR#
INTR
O Deeper Sleep - Voltag e Regula tor : This signal is used to lower the
voltage of VRM during C4 and S1-M states. When the signal is
high, the voltage regulator outputs the lower “Deeper Sleep”
voltage. When the signal is low (default), the voltage regulator
outputs the higher “Normal” voltage. During PCIRST#, the output
driver is disabled and an internal pull-down is enabled. This is
needed for implementing a strap on the pin. When PCIRST#
deasserts, the output driver is enabled. To guarantee no glitches on
the DPRSLPVR pin, the pull-down is disabled after the output
driver is fully enabled.
NOTE: DPRSLPVR is sampled at the rising edge of PWROK as a
functional strap.
O Mask A20: A20M# will go active based on either setting the
appropriate bit in the Port 92h register, or based on the A20GATE
input being active.
Speed Strap: During the reset sequence, ICH4 drives A20M# high
if the corresponding bit is set in the FREQ_STRP register.
O CPU Sleep: This signa l puts th e processor into a state that saves
substantial power compared to Stop-Grant state. However, during
that time, no snoops occur. The ICH4 can optionally assert the
CPUSLP# signal when going to the S1-M state.
I Numeric Coproce ssor Erro r: This signal is tied to the coprocessor
error signal on the processor. FERR# is only used if the ICH4
coprocessor error reporting function is enabled in the General
Control Register (Device 31:Function 0, Of fset D0, bit 13). If
FERR# is asserted, the ICH4 generates an internal IRQ13 to its
interrupt controller unit. It is also used to gate the IGNNE# signal to
ensure that IGNNE# is not asserted to the processor unless FERR#
is active. FERR# requires an external weak pull-up to ensure a high
level when the coprocessor error function is disabled.
NOTE: FERR# can be used in some states for notification by the
processor of pending interrupt events. This functionality is
independent of the General Control Register bit setting.
O CPU Interrupt: INTR is asserted by the ICH4 to signal the
processor that an interrupt request is pending and needs to be
serviced. It is an asynchronous output and normally driven low.
Speed Strap: During the reset sequence, ICH4 drives INTR high if
the corresponding bit is set in the FREQ_STRP register.

IGNNE#

O Ignore Numeric Error: This signal is connected to the ignore error
pin on the processor. IGNNE# is only used if the ICH4 coprocessor
error reporting function is enabled in the General Control Register
(Device 31:Function 0, Offset D0, bit 13). If FERR# is active,
indicating a coprocessor error, a write to the Coprocessor Error
Register (F0h) causes the IGNNE# to be asserted. IGNNE# remains
asserted until FERR# is negated. If FERR# is not asserted when the
Coprocessor Error Register is written, the IGNNE# signal is not
asserted.
Speed Strap: During the reset sequence, ICH4 drives IGNNE# high
if the corresponding bit is set in the FREQ_STRP register.
O Initialization: INIT# is asserted by the ICH4 fo r 16 PCI clocks to
reset the processor. ICH4 can be configured to support CPU BIST.
In that case, INIT# will be active when PCIRST# is active.
O Non-Maskable Interrupt: NMI is used to force a non-Maskable
interrupt to the processor. The ICH4 can generate an NMI when
either SERR# or IOCHK# is asserted. The processor detects an NMI
when it detects a rising edge on NMI.
NMI is reset by setting the corresponding NMI source
enable/disable bit in the NMI Status and Control Register.
Speed Strap: During the reset sequence, ICH4 drives NMI high if
the corresponding bit is set in the FREQ_STRP register.
O System Management Interrupt: SMI# is an active low output
synchronous to PCICLK. It is asserted by the ICH4 in response to
one of many enabled hardware or software events.
O Stop Clock Request: STPCLK# is an active low output
synchronous to PCICLK. It is asserted by the ICH4 in response to
one of many hardware or software events. When the processor
samples STPCLK# asserted, it responds by stopping its internal
clock.
I Keyboard Controller Reset CPU: The keyboard controller can
generate INIT# to the processor. This saves the external OR gate
with the ICH4’s other sources of INIT#. When the ICH4 detects the
assertion of this signal, INIT# is generated for 16 PCI clocks.
NOTE:
The ICH4 ignores RCIN# assertion during transitions to the
S1-M, S3, S4 and S5 states.
I A20 Gate: A20GATE is from the keyboard controller. The signal
acts as an alternative method to force the A20M# signal active. It
saves the external OR gate needed with various other PCIsets.

SpeedStep technology state transition to prevent loss of processor
context. This is an open-drain output signal (external pull-up
resistor required) that represents a logical AND of the ICH4’s
PWROK and VGATE / VRMPWRGD signals.
O Deeper Sleep: This signal is asserted by the ICH4 to the processor.
When the signal is low, the processor enters the Deeper Sleep state
by gating off the processor Core clock inside the processor. When
the signal is high (default), the processor is not in the Deeper Sleep
state. This signal behaves identically to the STP_CPU# signal, but
at the processor voltage level.

S1-M.
1.5 V supply for LAN Controller logic. This is a separate power plane that may
or may not be powered in S3–S5 states depending upon the presence or absence
of AC power and network connectivity. This plane must be on in S0 and S1-M.
3.3 V (can drop to 2.0 V min. in G3 state) supply for the RTC well. This power
is not expected to be shut off unless the RTC battery is removed or completely
drained.
NOTE: Implementations should not attempt to clear CMOS by using a jumper
to pull VccRTC low. Clearing CMOS in an ICH4-based platform can be done
by using a jumper on RTCRST# or GPI, or using SAFEMODE strap.
1.5 V supply for core well logic. This signal is used for the USB PLL. This
power may be shut off in S3, S4, S5 or G3 states.
RTC well bias voltage. The DC reference voltage applied to this pin sets a
current that is mirrored throughout the oscillator and buffer circuitry.
Powered by the same supply as the processor I/O voltage. This supply is used to
drive the processor interface outputs.

7. MaintenanceDiagnostics
7.1 Introduction
Each time the computer is turned on, the system BIOS runs a series of internal checks on the hardware. This
power-on self test (post) allows the computer to detect problems as early as the power-on stage. Error messages of
post can alert you to the problems of your computer.If an error is detected during these tests, you will see an error
message displayed on the screen. If the error occurs before the display is initialized, then the screen cannot display
the error message. Error codes or system beeps are used to identify a post error that occurs when the screen is not
available.
The value for the diagnostic port is written at the beginning of the test. Therefore, if the test failed, the user can
determine where the problem occurred by reading the last valu e written to the port by the debug card plug at MINI
PCI slot.

7.2 Diagnostic Tool for Mini PCI Slot :
The Mini PCI DOG killer card is a single-step debug tool which utilizes Mini PCI interface (Type III A) and is
able to hold a PCI bus cycle so that address, data and control bus states on PCI bus can be inspected. Especially,
the tool can help an engineer trace address/data bus for BIOS read cycles as soon as power on and debug open
or short circuit problems easily. Usually, this sort of problem will make a PC motherboard fail to boot.
