Intel Xeon Processor MP with up to 2MB L3 Cache
SM_EP_A[2:0]
I
The SM_EP_A (EEPROM Select Address) pins are decoded on the SMBus in
conjunction with the upper address bits in order to maintain unique addresses on
the SMBus in a system with multiple processors. To set an SM_EP_A line high, a
pull-up resistor should be used that is no larger than 1k
. The processor includes a
10k
pull-down resistor to V
SS for each of these signals. It is only available on the
Intel Xeon processor in INT-mPGA package.
For more information on the usage of these pins, see
Section 6.4.8.
SM_TS_A[1:0]
I
The SM_TS_A (Thermal Sensor Select Address) pins are decoded on the SMBus
in conjunction with the upper address bits in order to maintain unique addresses on
the SMBus in a system with multiple processors.
The device’s addressing, as implemented, includes a Hi-Z state for both address
pins. The use of the Hi-Z state is achieved by leaving the input floating
(unconnected). It is only available on the Intel Xeon processor in INT-mPGA
package.
For more information on the usage of these pins, see
Section 6.4.8.
SM_VCC
I
Provides power to the SMBus components which are only available on the Intel
Xeon processor in INT-mPGA package. Additionally provides power for the VID and
BSEL logic. Intel Xeon processor MP on the 0.13 micron processprocessor
baseboards MUST provide SM_Vcc. See
Figure for further details.
SM_WP
I
WP (Write Protect) can be used to write protect the Scratch EEPROM. The Scratch
EEPROM is write-protected when this input is pulled high to SM_VCC.The
processor includes a 10k pull-down resistor to VSS for this signal. It is only available
on the Intel Xeon processor in INT-mPGA package.
SMI#
I
SMI# (System Management Interrupt) is asserted asynchronously by system logic.
On accepting a System Management Interrupt, processors save 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 tri-state its
outputs. It is only available on the Intel Xeon processor in INT-mPGA package.
STPCLK#
I
STPCLK# (Stop Clock), when asserted, causes processors 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.
TCK
I
TCK (Test Clock) provides the clock input for the processor Test Bus (also known
as the Test Access Port).
TDI
I
TDI (Test Data In) transfers serial test data into the processor. TDI provides the
serial input needed for JTAG specification support.
TDO
O
TDO (Test Data Out) transfers serial test data out of the processor. TDO provides
the serial output needed for JTAG specification support.
TESTHI[6:0]
I
All TESTHI[6:0] pins should be individually connected to VCC via a pull-up resistor
which matches the trace impedance within a range of ± 10
. TESTHI[3:0] and
TESTHI[6:5] may all be tied together and pulled up to VCC with a single resistor if
desired. However, utilization of boundary scan test will not be functional if these
pins are connected together. TESTHI4 must always be pulled up independently
from the other TESTHI pins. For optimum noise margin, all pull-up resistor values
used for TESTHI[6:0] pins should have a resistance value within ± 20% of the
impedance of the baseboard transmission line traces. For example, if the trace
impedance is 50
, then a value between 40 and 60 should be used.
