Introduction
1.2
Server Board Use Disclaimer
Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components which need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ensures through its own chassis development and testing that when Intel server building blocks are used together, the fully integrated system will meet the intended thermal requirements of these components. It is the responsibility of the system integrator who chooses not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of air flow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation can not be held responsible, if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or non-operating limits.

Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Functional Architecture
3.1.1
Reset Configuration Logic
The BIOS determines the processor stepping, cache size, and other processor information through the CPUID instruction. The requirement is for the processor to run at a fixed speed. The processor cannot be programmed to operate at a lower or higher speed. On the SE7210TP1-E platform, the BIOS is responsible for configuring the processor speed. The BIOS uses CMOS settings to determine which speed to program into the speed setting device. The processor information is read at every system power-on.
3.1.2
Processor Support
The Intel Server Board SE7210TP1-E supports a single Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 processor, or a single Intel(R) Celeron(R) processor with a system bus of 400 /533 /800 MHz. The server board supports the processors listed in Table 1.

Functional Architecture
3.1.3
Microcode
IA32 processors have the capability of correcting specific errata through the loading of an Intelsupplied data block (microcode update). The BIOS is responsible for storing the update in nonvolatile memory and loading it into each processor during POST. The BIOS performs all the recommended update signature verification prior to storing the update in the Flash.
3.1.4
Processor Cache
The BIOS enables all levels of processor cache as early as possible during POST. There are no user options to modify the cache configuration, size or policies. All detected cache sizes are reported in the SMBIOS Type 7 structures. The largest and highest level cache detected is reported in BIOS Setup
3.1.5
(R)
Hyper-Threading Technology
(R)
Intel Pentium 4 processors support Hyper-Threading Technology. The BIOS will detect processors that support this feature and will enable the feature during POST. BIOS Setup provides an option to selectively enable or disable this feature. The default behavior is enabled. The BIOS will create additional entries in the ACPI MP tables to describe the virtual processors. The SMBIOS Type 4 structure will show only the physical processors installed.

Intel 82802AC 8 Megabit Firmware Hub (FWH)
The FWH provides the following: * System BIOS program * Logic that enables protection for storing and updating platform information
3.2.3
PCI-X
The PCI-X segment comes from 6300ESB I/O, and only runs at 66MHz maximum. The PCI-X interfaces of the 6300ESB I/O are compliant with the PCI-X Addendum to the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 1.0b as well as the Mode 1 and Mode 2 (266 MHz) sections of the PCI-X Electrical and Mechanical Addendum to the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0a and the PCI-X Protocol Addendum to the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0a. PCI-X Mode 2 provides enhancements over PCI that enable faster and more efficient data transfers. For conventional PCI Mode, the 6300ESB I/O supports PCI bus frequencies of 66 MHz, 100 MHz, and 133 MHz. For the PCI-X Mode 2, the 6300ESB I/O supports PCI bus frequencies of 66 MHz, 100 MHz, 133 MHz and 266 MHz. On the SE7210TP1-E server board, the PCI-X interface (P64-A) is independently controlled to operate in either a conventional PCI or PCI-X mode. P64-A is routed to control I/O from the 82547GI Ethernet controller and is capable of supporting MCH CSA interfaces depending on the riser card used. P32-A is routed to control I/O from the 32-bit PCI slot and the Adaptec* 7901Single Channel SCSI controller.
3.2.4
Low Profile Riser Slot
The Low Profile riser slot is a standard 202-pin slot supporting PCI-X signals. Its location on the board will allow only the use of low profile add-in cards.

Functional Architecture
3.2.5
SMBus Interface
The SMBus interface can be used for system and power management related tasks. The interface is compliant with System Management Bus Specification Revision 2.0. The SMBus interface allows full read/write access to all configuration and memory spaces in the FWH.
3.2.6
6300ESB I/O Controller Hub
The 6300ESB I/O is a multi-function device providing an upstream hub interface for access to several embedded I/O functions and features including: * * * * * * * * * PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 with support for 33 MHz PCI operations and 66 MHz PCI-X operations. ACPI power management logic support Enhanced DMA controller, interrupt controller, and timer functions Integrated IDE controller with support for Ultra ATA100/66/33 Integrated SATA controller USB host interface with support for four USB ports; two UHCI host controllers; one EHCI high-speed USB 2.0 host controller System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 with additional support for I2C devices Low Pin Count (LPC) interface Firmware Hub (FWH) interface support
Each function within the 6300ESB 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. Performance Note: The Hub Link 1.5 interface between the 6300ESB ICH and the 827210 MCH has a theoretical maximum throughput of 266MB/s. Each bus supported by the 6300ESB ICH will share the Hub Link 1.5 bandwidth, this includes the P64-A bus, the P32-A bus, the BMC interface, the LPC bus, the USB 2.0 interface, the Parallel ATA bus and the Serial ATA bus.
3.2.7
PCI Interface
The 6300ESB I/O PCI interface provides a 33 MHz, Revision 2.3 compliant implementation. All PCI signals are 5-V tolerant, except PME#. The 6300ESB I/O integrates a PCI arbiter that supports up to four external PCI bus masters in addition to the internal 6300ESB I/O requests. On the SE7210TP1-E server board this PCI interface is used to support on-board PCI devices including the ATI* video controller.

Functional Architecture
3.2.8
IDE Interface
The 6300ESB I/O IDE controller has two independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces that can be independently enabled. The IDE interfaces support the following modes: * * * Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer. 8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec. Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supports Ultra 100 DMA Mode Transfers up to 100Mbytes/s for reads from disk;88.88 Mbytes/s for writes to disk. As well as Ultra66 and Ultra33 DMA mode.. ATA-66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of up to 66 MB/sec. The ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible. ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The 6300ESB I/O ATA-100 logic can achieve read transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec and write transfer rates up to 88 MB/sec.
*
*
NOTE
ATA-66 and ATA-100 are faster timings and require a specialized 40-pin, 80-wire cable to reduce reflections, noise, and inductive coupling. The IDE interfaces also support ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives) and ATA devices using the transfer modes. The BIOS supports Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and Extended Cylinder Head Sector (ECHS) translation modes. The drive reports the transfer rate and translation mode to the BIOS. The server board SE7210TP1-E supports Laser Servo (LS-120) diskette technology through the IDE interfaces. The BIOS supports booting from an LS-120 drive.
NOTE
The BIOS will always recognize an LS-120 drive as an ATAPI floppy drive. To ensure correct operation, do not configure the drive as a hard disk drive.
3.2.9
Serial ATA (SATA) Controller
The SATA controller supports two SATA devices providing an interface for SATA hard disks and ATAPI devices. The SATA interface supports PIO IDE transfers up to 16 Mb/s and Serial ATA transfers up to 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s). The 6300ESB I/O's SATA system contains two independent SATA signal ports. They can be electrically isolated independently. Each SATA device can have independent timings. They can be configured to the standard primary and secondary channels.

Revision 2.0
Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Functional Architecture
3.2.10
Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface
The 6300ESB I/O implements an LPC Interface as described in the Low Pin Count Interface Specification, Revision 1.1. The Low Pin Count (LPC) Bridge function of the 6300ESB I/O resides in PCI Device 31: Function 0. In addition to the LPC bridge interface function, D31:F0 contains other functional units including DMA, interrupt controllers, timers, power management, system management, GPIO, and RTC.
3.2.11
Compatibility Modules (DMA Controller, Timer/Counters, Interrupt Controller)
The DMA controller incorporates the logic of two 82C37 DMA controllers, with seven independently programmable channels. Channels 0-3 are hardwired to 8-bit, count-by-byte transfers, and channels 5-7 are hardwired to 16-bit, count-by-word transfers. Any two of the seven DMA channels can be programmed to support fast Type-F transfers. The 6300ESB I/O supports two types of DMA (LPC and PC/PCI). LPC DMA and PC/PCI DMA use the 6300ESB I/O's DMA controller. The PC/PCI protocol allows PCI-based peripherals to initiate DMA cycles by encoding requests and grants via two PC/PC REQ#/GNT# pairs. LPC DMA is handled through the use of the LDRQ# lines from peripherals and special encoding on LAD[3:0] from the host. Single, Demand, Verify, and Increment modes are supported on the LPC interface. Channels 0-3 are 8 bit channels. Channels 5-7 are 16 bit channels. Channel 4 is reserved as a generic bus master request. The timer/counter block contains three counters that are equivalent in function to those found in one 82C54 programmable interval timer. These three counters are combined to provide the system timer function, and speaker tone. The 14.31818 MHz oscillator input provides the clock source for these three counters. The 6300ESB I/O provides an ISA-compatible Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) that incorporates the functionality of two 82C59 interrupt controllers. The two interrupt controllers are cascaded so that 14 external and two internal interrupts are possible. In addition, the 6300ESB I/O supports a serial interrupt scheme. All of the registers in these modules can be read and restored. This is required to save and restore system state after power has been removed and restored to the platform.
3.2.12
Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC)
In addition to the standard ISA-compatible PIC described in the previous section, the 6300ESB I/O incorporates the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC).
3.2.13
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
The 6300ESB I/O contains an Enhanced Host Controller Interface Specification for Universal Serial Bus, Revision 1.0 -compliant host controller that supports USB high-speed signaling. High-speed USB 2.0 allows data transfers up to 480 Mb/s which is 40 times faster than fullspeed USB. The 6300ESB I/O also contains four Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) controllers that support USB full-speed and low-speed signaling.
Revision 2.0
13
Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Functional Architecture
The Intel Server Board SE7210TP1-E supports up to four USB 2.0 ports, supports Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) and Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI), and uses UHCI- and EHCI-compatible drivers. The 6300ESB I/O provides the USB controller for all ports, as shown in Figure 4. The port arrangement is as follows: *
*
Three ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors One port is routed to a USB header which can be connected with a USB cable to the front panel connector
Figure 4. USB Port Configuration
NOTES
Server systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices.
3.2.14
Real Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery
The real-time clock provides a time-of-day clock and a multi-century calendar with alarm features. The real-time clock supports 256 bytes of battery-backed CMOS SRAM in two banks that are reserved for BIOS use. A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the server is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the server is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to 13 minutes/year at 25 C with 3.3 VSB applied. The time, date, and CMOS values can be specified in the BIOS Setup program. The CMOS values can be returned to their defaults by using the BIOS Setup program.
NOTE
If the battery and AC power fail, the custom defaults, if previously saved, will be loaded into CMOS RAM at power-on.

Functional Architecture
3.2.15
GPIO
Various general purpose inputs and outputs are provided for custom system design. The number of inputs and outputs varies depending on the 6300ESB I/O configuration. All unused GPI pins must be pulled high or low, so that they are at a predefined level and do not cause undue side effects.
3.2.16
Enhanced Power Management
The 6300ESB I/O's power management functions include enhanced clock control, local and global monitoring support for 14 individual devices, and various low-power (suspend) states (e.g., Suspend-to-DRAM and Suspend-to-Disk). A hardware-based thermal management circuit permits software-independent entrance to low-power states. The 6300ESB I/O contains full support for the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification, Revision 2.0b.
3.2.17
System Management Bus (SMBus 2.0)
The 6300ESB I/O contains an SMBus Host interface that allows the processor to communicate with SMBus slaves. This interface is compatible with most I2C devices. Special I2C commands are implemented. The 6300ESB I/O's SMBus host controller provides a mechanism for the processor to initiate communications with SMBus peripherals (slaves). Also, the 6300ESB I/O supports slave functionality, including the Host Notify protocol. Hence, the host controller supports eight command protocols of the SMBus interface (see System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0): Quick Command, Send Byte, Receive Byte, Write Byte/Word, Read Byte/Word, Process Call, Block Read/Write, and Host Notify.
3.3
Memory Subsystem
The Intel 827210 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) is one component of the Intel E7210 chipset. The MCH is a centralized controller for the system bus, the memory bus and the accelerated hub architecture interface. The server board SE7210TP1-E provides four DIMM slots and supports a maximum memory capacity of 4 GB. The DIMM organization is x72, which includes eight ECC check bits. ECC from the DIMMs are passed through to the processor's system bus. Memory scrubbing, single-bit error correction and multiple-bit error detection is supported. Memory can be implemented with either single-sided (one row) or double-sided (two row) DIMMs.

Revision 2.0
Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Functional Architecture
NOTES
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency. For ECC functionality, all installed DIMMs must be ECC. If both ECC and non-ECC DIMMs are used, ECC will be disabled and will not function.

Memory Configurations
Dual Channel memory interface. The board has two memory channels, each with two DIMM sockets. Dynamic Addressing Mode. Dynamic mode minimizes overhead by reducing memory accesses.
The Intel 827210 MCH component provides two features for enhancing memory throughput:

I/O Sub-System
The I/O sub-system is made up of several components: the 6300ESB I/O providing the PCI-X interfaces for the three PCI slots and riser slot on board 3, the on-board SCSI controller, the onboard Ethernet controllers, the onboard video controller, Super IO chip, and Management Subsystem. This section describes the function of each I/O interface and how they operate on the SE7210TP1-E server board.
3.4.1
PCI Sub-System
The primary I/O bus for the Intel Server Board SE7210TP1-E is PCI, with two independent PCI buses. The PCI buses comply with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev 2.2. The PCI bus is directed through the Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub. The table below lists the characteristics of the two PCI bus segments.
Table 5: PCI Bus Segment Characteristics
PCI Bus Segment P32-A P64-A P64-A Voltage 5V 3.3 V 3.3 V Width 32-bits 64-bits 64-bits Speed 33 MHz 66 MHz 66 MHz Type PCI PCI-X PCI-X PCI I/O Card Slots 1 - capable of supporting fulllength PCI add-in cards. Internal component use. 3 - capable of supporting fulllength PCI-X add-in cards 1 - riser slot supporting lowprofile add-in cards (Only on board 3)
3.4.1.1
P32-A: 32-bit, 33MHz PCI Sub-system
All 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI I/O for the SE7210TP1-E server board is directed through the 6300ESB I/O. The 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI segment created by the 6300ESB I/O is known as the P32-A segment. The P32-A segment supports the following devices: * * * * 3.4.1.2 One 32-bit PCI slot 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator: ATI Rage XL Video Controller SIO Chip: Winbond* W83627 HF-AW Super I/O Hardware monitoring sub-system: SMBUS. P64-A: 64-bit, 66MHz PCI Subsystem
There is one 64-bit PCI-X bus segment directed through the 6300ESB I/O. P64-A supports the interface for the on-board Adaptec* 7901 Ultra 320 SCSI controller in addition to supporting up a maximum of three PCI slots.
3.4.1.3
Scan Order
The BIOS assigns PCI bus numbers in a depth-first hierarchy, in accordance with the PCI Local Bus Specification. When a bridge device is located, the bus number is incremented in exception
22 Revision 2.0
Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Functional Architecture
of a bridge device in the chipsets. Scanning continues on the secondary side of the bridge until all subordinate buses are defined. PCI bus numbers may change when PCI-PCI bridges are added or removed. If a bridge is inserted in a PCI bus, all subsequent PCI bus numbers below the current bus will be increased by one.
3.4.1.4
Resource Assignment
The resource manager assigns the PIC-mode interrupt for the devices that will be accessed by the legacy code. The BIOS will ensure the PCI BAR registers and the command register for all devices are correctly set up to match the behavior of the legacy BIOS. Code cannot make assumptions about the scan order of devices or the order in which resources will be allocated to them. The BIOS will support the INT 1Ah PCI BIOS interface calls.
3.4.1.5
Automatic IRQ Assignment
The BIOS automatically assigns IRQs to devices in the system for legacy compatibility. No method is provided to manually configure the IRQs for devices.
3.4.1.6
Option ROM Support
The option ROM support code in the BIOS will dispatch the option ROMs in available memory space in the address range 0C0000h-0DFFFFh and will follow all rules with respect to the option ROM space. The SE7210TP1-E BIOS will integrate option ROMs for the Intel 82547GI, Intel 82551QM, ATI Rage XL, SATA RAID and Adaptec 7901 SCSI controller.
3.4.1.7
Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) Capable Slot
The SCSI version of the Server Board SE7210TP1-E is capable of supporting the following zero channel RAID controllers, the Intel(R) RAID Controller SRCZCR and the Adaptec* ASR-2010S RAID adapter. ZCR cards are only supported in slot one the P64-A PCI segment. The ZCR add-in cards leverage the on-board SCSI controller along with their own built-in intelligence to provide a complete RAID controller subsystem on-board. The riser card and baseboard use an implementation commonly referred to as RAID I/O Steering (RAIDIOS) specification version 0.92 to support this feature. If either of these supported RAID cards are installed, then the SCSI interrupts are routed to the RAID adapter instead of to the PCI interrupt controller. Also the IDSEL of the SCSI controller is not driven to the controller and thus will not respond as an on-board device. The host-based I/O device is effectively hidden from the system.

PCI Interrupt Routing Map
This section describes interrupt sharing and how the interrupt signals are connected between the PCI bus connectors and onboard PCI devices. The PCI specification specifies how interrupts can be shared between devices attached to the PCI bus. In most cases, the small amount of latency added by interrupt sharing does not affect the operation or throughput of the devices. In some special cases where maximum performance is needed from a device, a PCI device should not share an interrupt with other PCI devices. Use the following information to avoid sharing an interrupt with a PCI add-in card. PCI devices are categorized as follows to specify their interrupt grouping: * INTA: By default, all add-in cards that require only one interrupt are in this category. For almost all cards that require more than one interrupt, the first interrupt on the card is also classified as INTA. INTB: Generally, the second interrupt on add-in cards that require two or more interrupts is classified as INTB. (This is not an absolute requirement.) INTC and INTD: Generally, a third interrupt on add-in cards is classified as INTC and a fourth interrupt is classified as INTD.
* *
The 6300ESB I/O has eight programmable interrupt request (PIRQ) input signals. All PCI interrupt sources either onboard or from a PCI add-in card connect to one of these PIRQ signals. Some PCI interrupt sources are electrically tied together on the Server Board SE7210TP1-E and therefore share the same interrupt. Table 8 shows an example of how the PIRQ signals are routed. For example, using Table 8 as a reference, assume an add-in card using INTB is plugged into PCI bus connector 3. In PCI bus connector 3, INTB is connected to PIRQA, which is already connected to the Promise PDC20319 Controller. The add-in card in PCI bus connector 3 now shares an interrupt with the onboard interrupt source.

NOTE
In PIC mode, the 6300ESB I/O can connect each PIRQ line internally to one of the IRQ signals (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15). Typically, a device that does not share a PIRQ line will have a unique interrupt. However, in certain interrupt-constrained situations, it is possible for two or more of the PIRQ lines to be connected to the same IRQ signal. See Table 7 for the allocation of PIRQ lines to IRQ signals in APIC mode.
3.4.5
SCSI Support
The SCSI sub-system consists of the Adaptec 7901 Single Channel, PC-2001-compliant PCI-X Ultra 320 SCSI controller which has one internal 80-pin connector (SCSI Channel A).
3.4.5.1
Adaptec 7901 Single Channel Ultra 320 SCSI Controller
The Adaptec 7901 is PCI bus master single-channel SCSI ASICs package. The Adaptec 7901 is an Ultra320 SCSI ASIC supporting a data transfer rate up to 320 MB/sec. The Adaptec 7901 complies with PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 PCI-X Addendum, Rev. 1.0, and SCSI Parallel Interface-4 (SPI-4) for both Single-Ended (SE) and Low Voltage Differential (LVD) devices. These ASICs comply with: PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 PCI-X Addendum, Revision. 1.0a SCSI Parallel Interface-4 (SPI-4), Revision 6 For both Single-Ended (SE) and LVD devices. In addition, they comply with the SCSI-3 standard and provide multimode SCSI support. In PCI and PCI-X modes, these ASICs can operate as a multifunction 32-bit or 64-bit bus master capable of supporting zero-wait-state 32- or 64-bit memory transfers. They can also function as a PCI or PCI-X target. The Adaptec 7901 supports up to 64-bit, 122 MHz PCI-X bus. The Ultra320 SCSI features for the Adaptec 7901 include: Double-transition (DT) clocking Paced transfers using packetized protocol Packetized protocol Dual data FIFO Quick arbitration and selection/reselection (QAS) protocol Manual PIO mode data transfer Automatic mode data transfer Normal (DMA) mode data transfer Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes The single-channel Adaptec 7901 delivers Ultra320 SCSI data rates up to 320 MBytes/sec to address emerging bandwidth hungry applications, such as real-time video, data mining, Internet/Intranet, and scientific modeling and simulation. The chip features a 66 MHz, 64-bit PCI interface and a 133 MHz, 64-bit PCI-X interface.

Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Functional Architecture
Migration to new Ultra320 SCSI technology is easy with the Adaptec 7901. It is backward compatible with Ultra320, Ultra160, Ultra2, and earlier SCSI generations. The chip is available in a 356-pin Thermally Enhanced Ball Grid Array (TEBGA) package, which is signal compatible with the Ultra160 SCSI Adaptec 7892 for a smooth upgrade to Ultra320 SCSI. Now offered with the Adaptec 7901 is HostRAID*, an advanced RAID solution that includes hardware mirroring on the Adaptec 7901. HostRAID offers bootable RAID levels 0 and 1 with other advanced RAID features such as dedicated hot spares with automatic recovery, on-line capacity expansion, event scheduling, SAF-TE support, SNMP, DMI, and on-line RAID level migration. The Adaptec 7901 uses Ultra320 technology to double Ultra160 data transfer rates up to 320 MBytes/sec. In addition, Adaptec Seamless Streaming* technology allows the Adaptec 7901 to take full advantage of the SCSI packet protocol enhancements (transfers multiple commands, data contexts and statuses in single connection) that replaces the legacy SCSI protocol (transfers single commands, data contexts or statuses per connection). The Adaptec 7901 also supports Quick Arbitration and Selection (QAS) and SCSI arbitration fairness. QAS reduces the overhead of control release on the SCSI bus from one device to another. This improvement reduces command overhead and maximizes bus utilization. SCSI arbitration fairness prevents a device from dominating the bus by guaranteeing that all devices have an opportunity to arbitrate. The Adaptec 7901 fully supports CRC for 16-bit SCSI synchronous data transfers. CRC detects data integrity errors that would not be detected by simple parity checking used by previous SCSI generations. The higher data rates achieved on existing Low Voltage Differential (LVD) cable configurations mandated this improved data integrity feature. The Adaptec 7901 fully supports Domain Validation, which provides two levels (Basic and Enhanced) of SCSI bus configuration testing to help ensure Ultra320 and Ultra160 SCSI topologies operate at optimum speed. Using Low Voltage Differential (LVD), each Adaptec 7901 channel supports a maximum of 15 devices on a 12-meter cable. In a point-to-point arrangement, cabling can extend to 25 meters. The Adaptec 7901 incorporates an advanced multi-mode SCSI I/O cell that supports Ultra2, Ultra160, and Ultra320 SCSI LVD devices, as well as single-ended devices. With only Ultra2, Ultra160, and Ultra320 devices attached, the SCSI bus performs at full speed and full LVD cable lengths. When SE devices are attached, the bus defaults to SE speed and cable length.

Adaptec 7901 Summary of Features
The Adaptec 7901 contains the following SCSI performance features: SCSI data transfers up to 320 MB/sec 8- or 16-bit SCSI data path SCSI offsets to 254 transfers Advanced multimode I/O cell is compatible with LVD or SE devices Extensive hardware support for disconnect/reconnect and scatter/gather Full support for both initiator and target operations Full support for domain validation, which provides two levels (basic and enhanced) of SCSI bus configuration testing to help ensure Ultra320 and Ultra160 SCSI topologies operate at optimum speed Multiple target ID enables responses to multiple IDs as a SCSI target Full support for CRC for 16-bit SCSI synchronous data transfers. CRC detects data integrity errors that would not be detected by simple parity checking used by previous SCSI generations. The higher data rates achieved on existing LVD cable configurations mandated this improved data integrity feature. Supports Quick Arbitration and Selection (QAS) and SCSI arbitration fairness. QAS reduces overhead when bus control is transferred between devices. Arbitration fairness prevents devices from hogging the bus by guaranteeing each device a chance to arbitrate. Supports Seamless Streaming technology, which allows full implementation of SCSI packet protocol for sending many commands, receiving many statuses, and transferring data for many commands during one SCSI connection. There is virtually no delay between packets for different commands. The Adaptec 7901 has a 133 MHz, 64-bit PCI/PCI-X Host Interface that supports the following PCI features: PC2001 compliant Direct pin connection to the PCI/PCI-X interface, from 133-MHz, 64-bit interface down to PCI 33-MHz, 32-bit interface Leading and trailing offset bytes on a 32- or 64-bit bus Performance-enhanced 32-bit operating mode allows 32-bit data transactions with 32and 64-bit addressing (SAC/DAC) 3.3-V/5-V PCI and 3.3-V PCI-X interfaces provide flexibility for designing high performance, low-power systems PCI bus master and slave timing referenced to PCLK PCI bus-programmable Latency Timer, Cache Size, and Interrupt Line Select registers Supports external read access to the BIOS FLASH on the host bus adapter (HBA) Supports SEEPROM read and write word access with an Adaptec utility Medium PCI target device select response time Streaming PCI-enhanced master Direct Memory Access (DMA) read and write burst commands PCI bus address and data parity generation and checking Supports PCI PERR# and SERR# requirements Supports up to five outstanding split completions PCI bus address and data phase error generation for checking host and device error support

The Adaptec 7901 contain improved Adaptec RISC-based processors (ARPs) that execute SCSI Control Blocks (SCBs) to initiate data transfers between the PCI-X and SCSI interfaces. The ARPs support execution speeds of 40 MIPS and provide 8 KB of SRAM microcode storage. These ASICs operate at up to 66 MHz in PCI mode with a maximum 533 MB/sec data burst rate.
3.4.5.3
PCI/PCI-X Mode Operation
Depending on the state of the initialization pattern on the PCI bus during power up, the Adaptec 7901 can be initialized to operate in either conventional PCI or PCI-X mode; both wire and message-signaled interrupts are supported.
3.4.5.4
PCI Bus
The Adaptec 7901 performance levels at 3.3 VIO are as follows: When operation in PCI-X mode as a 64-bit bus master, the Adaptec 7901 can support memory data transfer up to 533 MB/sec at 66 MHz. When operation in PCI-X mode as a 32-bit bus master, the Adaptec 7901 can support memory data transfer up to 266 MB/sec at 66MHz When operation in PCI-X mode as a 64-bit bus master, the Adaptec 7901 can support memory data transfer up to 266 MB/sec at 33MHZ When operation in PCI-X mode as a 32-bit bus master, the Adaptec 7901 can support memory data transfer up to 133 MB/sec at 33MHZ 3.4.5.5 SCSI Bus
The Adaptec 7901 can operate in SE or LVD mode, depending on the voltage level of the SCSI DIFFSENSE (F2), which is determined by the combination of the SCSI devices attached to the bus, the SCSI bus operates in SE mode and the SCSI data transfer rate is speed of the SCSI device currently transferring data. Note: The Adaptec 7901 does not support High Voltage Differential (HVD) devices. When an HVD device is detected, the bus goes tri-state and transmission stops.

IDE Support
Integrated IDE controllers of the 6300ESB I/O provide two independent IDE channels, each capable of supporting up to two drives. A standard 40-pin IDE connector on the baseboard interfaces with both channels. Both IDE channels can be configured or enabled/disabled by accessing the BIOS Setup Utility during POST.
3.4.6.1
Ultra ATA/100
The IDE interfaces of the ICH5R DMA protocol redefines signals on the IDE cable to allow both host and target throttling of data and transfer rates of up to 100 MB/s.
3.4.6.2
IDE Initialization
The BIOS supports the ATA/ATAPI Specification, version 6 or later. The BIOS initializes the embedded IDE controller in the chipset (ICH5R) and the IDE devices that are connected to these devices. The BIOS scans the IDE devices and programs the controller and the devices with their optimum timings. The IDE disk read/write services that are provided by the BIOS will use PIO mode, but the BIOS will program the necessary Ultra DMA registers in the IDE controller so that the operating system can use the Ultra DMA Modes.
3.4.7
SATA Support
The integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller of the 6300ESB I/O provides two SATA ports on the baseboard. The SATA ports can be enabled/disabled and/or configured by accessing the BIOS Setup Utility during POST. The SATA function in the 6300ESB I/O has dual modes of operation to support different operating system conditions. In the case of Native IDE enabled operating systems, the 6300ESB I/O has separate PCI functions for serial and parallel ATA. To support legacy operating systems, there is only one PCI function for both the serial and parallel ATA ports. The MAP register provides the ability to share PCI functions. When sharing is enabled, all decode of I/O is done through the SATA registers. Device 31, Function 1 (IDE controller) is hidden by software writing to the Function Disable Register (D31, F0, offset F2h, bit 1), and its configuration registers are not used. The SATA Capability Pointer Register (offset 34h) will change to indicate that MSI is not supported in combined mode. The 6300ESB I/O SATA controller features two sets of interface signals that can be independently enabled or disabled. Each interface is supported by an independent DMA controller. The 6300ESB I/O SATA controller interacts with an attached mass storage device through a register interface that is equivalent to that presented by a traditional IDE host adapter. The host software follows existing standards and conventions when accessing the register interface and follows standard command protocol conventions. SATA interface transfer rates are independent of UDMA mode settings. SATA interface transfer rates will operate at the bus's maximum speed, regardless of the UDMA mode reported by the SATA device or the system BIOS.

Video Controller
The SE7210TP1-E server board provides an ATI* Rage XL PCI graphics accelerator, along with 8 MB of 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. One 2Mx32 SDRAM chip provides 8 MB of video memory. The SVGA subsystem supports a variety of modes, up to 1600 x 1200 resolution in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 2D, and up to 1024 x 768 resolution in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 3D. It also supports both CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate. Video is accessed using a standard 15-pin VGA connector found on the back edge of the server board. On-board video can be disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility which is accessed during POST or when an add-in video card is installed in any of the PCI slots.

Flash ROM
The Intel 82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH) includes an 8 megabit symmetrical flash memory device. Internally, the device is grouped into eight 64-KB blocks that are individually erasable, lockable, and unlockable.
4.2.1
Removable Media Support
The BIOS supports removable media devices, including 1.44MB floppy removable media devices and optical devices such as a CD-ROM drive or DVD drive. The BIOS supports booting from USB mass storage devices connected to the chassis USB port, such as a USB key device. The BIOS supports USB 2.0 media storage devices that are backward compatible to the USB 1.1 specification.
4.2.2
Legacy USB
Legacy USB support enables USB devices such as keyboard, mice, and hubs to be used even when the operating system's USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB support is set to Enabled. Legacy USB support operates as follows: 1. When the user applies power to the server, legacy support is disabled. 2. POST begins. 3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing the user to use a USB keyboard to enter and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu. 4. POST completes. 5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboard and mice are recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboard and mice are not recognized during this period if Legacy USB support was set to disabled in the BIOS Setup program.) 6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer used. To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system's installation instructions.
NOTE
Legacy USB support is for keyboard, mice, and hubs only. Other USB devices are not supported in legacy mode.

Resource Configuration
PCI Autoconfiguration
The BIOS can automatically configure PCI devices. PCI devices may be on-board or add-in cards. Autoconfiguration lets a user insert or remove PCI cards without having to configure the system. When a user turns on the system after adding a PCI card, the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, the I/O space, and other system resources. Any interrupts set to Available in Setup are considered to be available for use by the add-in card. Autoconfiguration information is stored in ESCD format.
4.3.2
PCI IDE Support
If Auto is selected from the BIOS Setup program, the BIOS automatically sets up the two PCI IDE connectors with independent I/O channel support. The IDE interface supports hard drives up to ATA-66/100 and recognizes any ATAPI compliant devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and Ultra DMA. The BIOS determines the capabilities of each drive and configures them to optimize capacity and performance. To take advantage of the high capacities typically available today, hard drives are automatically configured for Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and to PIO Mode 3 or 4, depending on the capability of the drive. The user can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program. To use ATA-66/100 features the following items are required: * * * An ATA-66/100 peripheral device An ATA-66/100 compatible cable ATA-66/100 operating system device drivers
NOTES
ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives is reduced to that of the slowest device. Do not connect an ATA device as a slave on the same IDE cable as an ATAPI master device. For example, do not connect an ATA hard drive as a slave to an ATAPI CD-ROM drive.
4.4
System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
SMBIOS is a Server Management Interface (SMI) compliant method for managing servers in a managed network.
Revision 2.0
45
Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
System BIOS
The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF) database, which contains information about the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as third-party management software to use SMBIOS. The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information: * * * * BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
Non-Plug and Play operating systems, such as Windows* NT, require an additional interface for obtaining the SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information.
4.5
BIOS Updates
The BIOS can be updated with the AMI Flash Utility (AFUDOS.exe), which requires creation of a boot diskette and manual rebooting of the system. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a 1.44 MB diskette (from a legacy diskette drive or an LS-120 diskette drive) or a CD-ROM. Please refer to the SE7210TP1-E BIOS EPS for details. It supports the following BIOS maintenance functions: * * * Verifying that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS. Updating both the BIOS boot block and the main BIOS. This process is fault tolerant to prevent boot block corruption. Changing logo utility.
4.6
NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS update.
Recovering BIOS Data
Some types of failure can destroy the BIOS. For example, the data can be lost if a power outage occurs while the BIOS is being updated in flash memory. The BIOS can be recovered from a diskette using the BIOS recovery mode. When recovering the BIOS, be aware of the following: * Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, there is video support. The user can only monitor this procedure by listening to the speaker or looking at the diskette drive LED. The recovery process may take several minutes; larger BIOS flash memory devices require more time. Two beeps and the end of activity in the diskette drive indicate successful BIOS recovery. A series of continuous beeps indicates a failed BIOS recovery.
Revision 2.0
* * *
46
Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
System BIOS
To create a BIOS recovery diskette, a bootable diskette must be created and the BIOS update files copied to it. BIOS upgrades and the AMI Flash Utility are available from Intel Customer Support through the Intel World Wide Web site.
NOTE
Even if the server is configured to boot from an LS-120 diskette (in the Setup program's Removable Devices submenu), the BIOS recovery diskette must be a standard 1.44 MB diskette not a 120 MB diskette.
4.7
BIOS POST
The BIOS supports one system splash screen. When the system is booting, the BIOS will display the splash screen instead of BIOS messages. BIOS messages can be viewed by pressing the `ESC' key during POST. Once the BIOS POST message screen is selected, the splash screen is no longer accessible during the current boot sequence. The splash screen can be customized by with the `Change Logo' utility. Refer to the Change Logo for AMIBIOS User's Guide (Version 2.22) for details.
4.7.1
User Interface
There are two types of consoles used for displaying the user interface: graphical or text based. Graphics consoles are in 640x480x8bpp mode; text consoles are 80x25. Console output is partitioned into three areas: the System Activity/State, Logo/Diagnostic, and Current Activity windows. The System Activity Window displays information about the current state of the system, such as if it is active, hung, or requires user intervention. The Logo/Diagnostic Window displays the OEM splash screen logo or a diagnostic boot screen. The Current Activity Window displays information about the currently executing portion of POST as well as user prompts or status messages. If the CMOS is corrupt, the BIOS displays the following message: "Press F1 to load default values and continue Press F2 to run SETUP". The BIOS always wait until or is pressed; Or always not wait if [POST Error Pause] is set disabled in BIOS setup.

BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup utility is provided to perform system configuration changes and to display current settings and environment information. The BIOS Setup utility stores configuration settings in system non-volatile storage. Changes affected by BIOS Setup will not take effect until the system is rebooted. The BIOS Setup Utility can be accessed when prompted during POST by using the F2 key.
4.8.1
Localization
The BIOS Setup utility uses the Unicode standard and is capable of displaying setup forms in the languages currently included in the Unicode standard: English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. Intel provides translations for console strings in the supported languages. The language can be selected using the BIOS user interface.
4.8.2
Keyboard Commands
Table 17: BIOS Setup Keyboard Command Bar Options Description The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-menu, or to display a pick list if a selected option has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu. The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded. If "No" is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before ESC was pressed without affecting any existing any settings. If "Yes" is selected and the Enter key is pressed, setup is exited and the BIOS continues with POST. The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous options in a menu item's option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key. The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item's option list, or a value field's pick list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key. The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no affect if a sub-menu or pick list is displayed. The Tab key is used to move between fields. For example, Tab can be used to move from hours to minutes in the time item in the main menu.

Operating System Boot, Sleep and Wake
Microsoft* Windows* Compatibility
Intel Corporation and Microsoft Corporation co-author design guides for system designers using Intel processors and Microsoft* operating systems. These documents are updated yearly to address new requirements and current trends. PC200x specifications are intended for systems that are designed to work with Windows 2000 and Windows XP class operating systems. The Hardware Design Guide (HDG) for the Windows XP platform is intended for systems that are designed to work with Windows XP class operating systems. Each specification classifies the systems further and has requirements based on the intended usage for that system. For example, a server system that will be used in small home/office environments has different requirements than the one used for enterprise applications. The server board SE7210TP1-E supports HDG3.0.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a server. The use of ACPI with the Intel Server Board SE7210TP1-E requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support. ACPI features include: * * * * * * Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in boards may require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the standby or sleeping state A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the server Support for multiple wake-up events.

The BIOS supports up to four front panel buttons: the power button, the reset button, the sleep button, and the NMI button. The NMI button is a recessed button and may not be accessible on all front panel designs. The power button is a request that is forwarded by the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller to the ACPI power state machines in the chipset. It is monitored by the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller and does not directly control power on the power supply. The BIOS supports a front panel NMI button. The NMI button is a request that causes the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller to generate an NMI (nonmaskable interrupt). The operating system is responsible for handling the NMI core dump. The power button behaves differently depending on whether the operating system supports ACPI. If the operating system supports ACPI the power button can be configured as a sleep

button. The operating system causes the system to transition to the appropriate system state depending on the user settings.
4.9.3.1
On to Off (OS-Present) or OS to Sleep
If an operating system is loaded, the power button switch generates a request via the system control interrupt (SCI) to the operating system to shutdown the system. The operating system retains control of the system and operating system policy determines if the system transitions into S4/S1 or shuts down.
4.9.3.2
Sleep to On (ACPI)
If an operating system is loaded, the power button or Wake on LAN (WOL) can generate a wake event to the ACPI chipset and a request (via SCI). If system wakes up from S4/S5, the BIOS POST is completed and then control is given to operating system to wake up the system. If wakeup is from S1, the operating system will wake up the system.
4.9.3.3
System Sleep States
The platform supports the following ACPI System Sleep States: * * *

System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a low-power state. Table 46 lists the power states supported by the server board SE7210TP1-E along with the associated system power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various system and power states.

System BIOS
4.10 Security
The BIOS provides a number of security features. This section describes the security features and operating model. The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the system. Once secure mode is entered, access to the system is allowed only after the correct password(s) has been entered. Both User and Administrator passwords are supported by the BIOS. Each password can be independently set or cleared during system configuration using a setup. The maximum length of the password is seven characters. The password cannot have characters other than alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). Once set, a password can be cleared by changing it to a null string. Entering the User password will allow the user to modify the time, date, language, user password. Other setup fields can be modified only if the Administrator password is entered. If only one password is set, this password is required to enter Setup. Administrator has control over all fields in the setup including the ability to clear user password. If the user enters three wrong passwords in a row during the boot sequence, the system will be placed into a halt state. This feature makes it difficult to break the password by "trial and error" method.

Essential Management Features and Functionality
Overview of National* Semiconductor PC87431 Integrated Management Controller
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) with a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)-based processor and many peripheral devices embedded into it. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller contains the logic needed for executing the firmware, controlling the system, monitoring the sensors, and communicating with other systems and devices via various external interfaces. The following figure is a block diagram of the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller as it is used in a server management system. The external interface blocks to the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller are the discrete hardware peripheral device interface modules.

5.1.2
National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller Self-test
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller performs various tests as part of its initialization. If a failure is determined, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller stores the error internally. A failure may be caused by a corrupt National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller FRU, SDR, or SEL. Two commands may be used to retrieve the detected errors. The IPMI 1.5 Get Self Test Results command can be used to return the first error detected. Executing the Get Self Test Results command causes the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller self-test to be run. It is strongly recommended to reset the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller via the Cold Reset command afterwards.
5.1.3
SMBus Interfaces
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller incorporates one master/slave and two master-only SMBus interfaces. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller interfaces with the host through a slave SMBus interface. It interfaces with the LAN On Motherboard (LOM) and peripherals through two independent master bus interfaces.
5.1.4
External Interface to National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller
Figure 11 shows the data/control flow to and within the functional modules of the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller. External interfaces from the host system, LOM, and peripherals, interact with the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller through the corresponding interface modules as shown. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller communicates with the internal modules using its private SMBus. External devices and sensors interact with the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller using the peripheral SMBus through SIO. LOM communicates through the LOM SMBus. GPIO pins are available and can be configured for general purpose output or digital input events. Dedicated LED lines are available for LED/color control. Also built into the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller are the control functions for both the power supply and front panel.

Private Management I2C Buses
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller implements a single private management bus. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is the sole master on this bus. External agents must use the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller Master Write/Read I2C command if they require direct communication with a device on this bus. In addition, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller provides a Reserve Device command that gives an external agent exclusive access to a specific device for a selectable time.

5.1.5.2
User Model
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports one anonymous user (null user name) with a settable password. The IPMI command to set the password is not supported. 5.1.5.3 Request/Response Protocol
All of the protocols used in the host interface and the LOM interface are Request/Response protocols. A Request Message is issued to an intelligent device, to which the device responds with a separate Response Message. 5.1.5.4 Host to National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller Communication Interface
The host communicates with the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller via the System Management Bus (SMBus). The interface consists of three signals: * * * SMBus clock signal (SCLH) SMBus data signal (SDAH) Optional SMBus alert signal (SMBAH). The signal notifies the host that the PC87431x has data to provide.
When the system main power is off (PWRGD signal is low), the host interface signals are in TRI-STATE to perform passive bus isolation between the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller SCLH, SDAH and SMBAH signals and the SMBus controller signals. The passive bus isolation can be disabled by host SMBus isolation control to support various system designs.
78
Revision 2.0
Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Platform Management Architecture
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is a slave device on the bus. The host interface is designed to support polled operations. Host applications can optionally handle an SMBus alert interrupt if the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is unable to respond immediately to a host request. In this case, "Not Ready" is indicated in one of two ways: * The host interface bandwidth is limited by the bus clock and National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller latency. To meet the device latency, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller slows down the bus periodically by extending the SMBus clock low interval (SCLH). If the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is in the middle of a LAN or peripheral device communication, or if a response to the host request is not yet ready, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller does not acknowledge the device address ("NACK"). This forces the host software to stop and restart the session.

For more information on read-write through SMBus refer the System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification 2.0. 5.1.5.5 LAN Interface
The baseboard supports one DPC LAN interface via a UDP port 26Fh. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports a maximum of one simultaneous session across all authenticated channels. The baseboard implements gratuitous ARP support according to the IPMI 1.5 Specification. The IPMI Specification v1.5 defines how IPMI messages, encapsulated in RMCP packet format, can be sent to and from the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller. This capability allows a remote console application to access the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller and perform the following operations: * * * * * * * * Chassis Control, e.g., get chassis status, reset chassis, power-up chassis, power-down chassis Get system sensor status Get and Set system boot options Get Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information Get System Event Log (SEL) entries Get Sensor Data Records (SDR) Set Platform Event Filtering (PEF) Set LAN configurations
In addition, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports LAN alerting in the form of SNMP traps that conform to the IPMI Platform Event Trap (PET) format.

Direct Platform Control (IPMI over LAN)
Direct Platform Control provides a mechanism for delivering IPMI Messages directly to the management controllers via a LAN connection. The NICs and the management controllers remain active on standby power, enabling the IPMI Messaging when the system is powered up, powered down, and in a system sleep state. This allows a remote console application to be able to access the management controller capabilities, including: * * * * Power on/off and reset control with the ability to set BIOS boot flags FRU, SDR, and SEL access National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller configuration access Ability to transfer IPMI messages between the LAN interface and other interfaces, such as the System Interface, IPMB, and PCI SMBus. This capability enables messages to be delivered to system management software, and provides the ability to access sensors and FRU information on other management controllers.
IPMI Messages are encapsulated in a packet format called RMCP (Remote Management Control Protocol). The Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) has defined RMCP for supporting pre-OS and OS-absent management. RMCP is a simple request-response protocol that can be delivered using UDP datagrams. IPMI-over-LAN uses version 1 of the RMCP protocol and packet format. UDP port 26Fh is a `well known' port address that is specified to carry RMCP (Remote Management Control Protocol) formatted UDP datagrams. The on-board Intel network interface controllers contain circuitry that enables detecting and capturing RMCP packets that are received on Port 26Fh and making them available to the management controller via a `sideband' interface that is separate from the PCI interface to the NIC. Similarly, the management controller can use the side-band interface to send packets from Port 26Fh, as shown in the following figure.

RMCP includes a field that indicates the class of messages that can be embedded in an RMCP message packet. For RMCP version 1.0, the defined classes are IPMI, ASF, and OEM. IPMIover-LAN uses the IPMI class to transfer IPMI Messages encapsulated in RMCP packets. Intelligent Platform Management Interface v1.5 Specification specifies the packet formats and commands used to perform IPMI Messaging on LAN via RMCP. The management controller transmits to other port addresses as needed. For example, LAN Alerts, which are sent as SNMP Traps, can be transmitted to the SNMP Trap `well known' port address, 162 (0A2h). 5.1.6.1 LAN Channel Specifications
The following table presents the minimum support that will be provided. Note that system management software and utilities may not use all the available management controller options and capabilities.

LAN Drivers and Setup
The IPMI-over-LAN feature must be used with the appropriate Intel NIC Driver, and the NIC correctly configured in order for DPC LAN operation to occur transparently to the operating system and network applications. If an incorrect driver or NIC configuration is used, it is possible to get driver timeouts when the IPMI-over-LAN feature is enabled. 5.1.6.3 BIOS Boot Flags
A remote console application can use the IPMI Set System Boot Options command to configure a set of BIOS boot flags and boot initiator info parameters that are held by the management controller. These parameters include information that identifies the party that initiated the boot, plus flags and other information that can be used to direct the way booting proceeds after a system reset or power-up. For example, whether the system should boot normally, boot using PXE, boot to a diagnostic partition, etc. 5.1.6.4 Boot Flags and LAN Console Redirection
The system BIOS includes a LAN Console Redirection capability. This capability can only be directed to one IP Address at a time. Thus, the boot flags and boot initiator information are also used to tell the BIOS where to send LAN Console Redirection.
5.1.7
Wake On LAN / Power On LAN and Magic Packet Support
The baseboard supports Wake On LAN / Power On LAN capability using the on-board network interface chips or an add-in network interface card. An add-in network card can deliver the wake signal to the baseboard via the PME signal on the PCI bus. The actual support for Magic Packet and/or packet filtering for Wake On LAN / Power On LAN is provided by the NIC. The baseboard handles the corresponding wake signal. 5.1.7.1 Wake On LAN in S4/S5
A configuration option is provided that allows the on-board NICs to be enabled to wake the system in an S4/S5 state, even if the operating system disabled Wake-On-LAN when it powered down the system. This provides an option for users who want to use standard, but non-secure, WOL capability for operations such as after-hours maintenance. Note that the DPC LAN capability provides a secure system power-up, plus the ability to provide BIOS boot options, by sending authenticated IPMI messages directly to the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller via the on-board NICs.

Watchdog Timer
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller implements an IPMI 1.5-compatible watchdog timer. See the IPMI specification for details. SMI and NMI pre-timeout actions are supported, as are hard reset, power down, and power cycle timeout actions.
5.1.9
System Event Log (SEL)
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller implements the logical System Event Log device as specified in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 1.5. The SEL is accessible via all communication transports. In this way, the SEL information can be accessed while the system is down by means of out-of-band interfaces. The maximum SEL size that is supported by National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is 92 entries. Supported commands are: * * * * * * * 5.1.9.1 Get SEL Info Reserve SEL Get SEL Entry Add SEL Entry Clear SEL Get SEL Time Set SEL Time Timestamp Clock
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller maintains a four-byte internal timestamp clock used by the SEL and SDR subsystems. This clock is incremented once per second. It is read using the Get SEL Time command and set using the Set SEL Time command. The Get SDR Time command can also be used to read the timestamp clock. These commands are specified in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 1.5. After a National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller reset, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller sets the initial value of the timestamp clock to 0x00000000. It is incremented once per second after that. A SEL event containing a timestamp from 0x00000000 to 0x140000000 has a timestamp value that is relative to National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller initialization. The BIOS provides the time to the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller during POST. During POST, the BIOS tells the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller the current RTC time via the Set SEL Time command. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller maintains this time, incrementing it once per second, until the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is reset or the time is changed via another Set SEL Time command. If the RTC changes during system operation, system management software synchronizes the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller time with the system time.

Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller includes built-in Sensor Data Records that provide platform management capabilities (sensor types, locations, event generation and access information). SDR Repositories are kept in the non-volatile storage area (flash) of the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller. The SDR Repository is accessible via all communication transports. This way, out-of-band interfaces can access the SDR Repository information if the system is down. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports 2176 bytes of storage for SDR records. The SDR defines the type of sensor, thresholds, hysteresis values and event configuration. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports up to six threshold values for threshold-based full sensor records, and up to 15 events for non threshold-based full and compact sensor records. It also supports both low-going and high-going sensor devices. 5.1.10.1 Initialization Agent
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller implements the internal sensor initialization agent functionality specified in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 1.5. When the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller initializes, or when the system boots, the initialization agent scans the SDR repository and configures the sensors referenced by the SDRs. This includes setting sensor thresholds, enabling/disabling sensor event message scanning, and enabling/disabling sensor event messages.
5.1.11
Event Message Reception
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports externally (e.g., BIOS) generated events via the Platform Event Message command. Events received via this command will be logged to the SEL and processed by PEF.

5.1.12.1
Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller monitors platform health and logs failure events into the SEL. The Platform Event Filtering feature provides a configurable mechanism to allow events to trigger alert actions. PEF provides a flexible, general mechanism that enables the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller to perform selectable actions triggered by a configurable set of platform events. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports the following IPMI PEF actions: * * * * * * Power-down Soft shut-down Power cycle Reset Diagnostic Interrupt Alert
In addition, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports the following OEM actions: * *
*
Fault LED action Identification LED action Device feedback
The power-down, soft shut-down, power cycle and reset actions can be delayed by a specified number of 100ms. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller maintains an Event Filter table with 30 entries that is used to select the actions to perform. Also maintained is a fixed/read-only Alert Policy Table entry. No alert strings are supported. Note: All Fault/Status LED and ID LED behaviors are driven off of PEF. PEF should not be disabled and the default entry configuration should not be modified or those behaviors will be changed.
Each time the PEF module receives either an externally or internally generated event message, it compares the event data against the entries in the event filter table. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller scans all entries in the table and determines a set of actions to be performed. If a combination of actions is identified, such as power down, power cycle, and/or reset actions, the action are performed according to PEF Action Priorities. Action priorities are outlined in
Table 50. Note: An action that has changed from delayed to non-delayed, or an action whose delay time has been reduced has a higher priority. Each generated event is logged by SEL.

Alert over LAN
LAN alerts are sent as SNMP traps in ASF formatted Platform Event Traps to a specified alert destination. The Alert over LAN feature is used to send either Platform Event Trap alerts or directed events to a remote system management application, regardless of the state of the host's operating system. LAN alerts may be sent over any of the LAN channels supported by a platform. LAN alerts can be used by PEF to send out alerts to selected destination when ever an event matches an event filter table entry For more information on LAN alerts, see the IPMI Specification v1.5. 5.1.12.3 System Identification in Alerts
The PET alert format used in PPP and LAN Alerting contains a system GUID field that can be used to uniquely identify the system that raised the alert. In addition, since the PET is carried in a UDP packet, the alerting system's IP Address is also present. 5.1.12.4 Platform Alerting Setup
The management controller provides commands via the System Interface that support setting/retrieving the alerting configuration LAN alerting in National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller NV storage. The user does not typically deal with filter contents directly. Instead, the Server Setup Utility provides a user interface that allows the user to select among a fixed set of pre-configured event filters.

The following list presents the type of Alerting configuration options that are provided: * * * * * * * Enabling/Disabling PEF. Configuring Alert actions. Selecting which pre-configured events trigger an alert. Generating a `test' event to allow the paging configuration to be checked. Configuring the serial/modem and PPP communication and link parameters. Configuring the alert destination information, including LAN addresses, phone numbers, Alert strings, etc. Configuring the PPP Accounts for PPP Alerting (PPP Accounts represent the phone number and user login information necessary to connect to a remote system via PPP). Alerting On Power Down Events
5.1.12.5
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is capable of generating alerts while the system is powered down. A watchdog power-down event alert is sent after the power down so that the alert does not delay the power-down action. 5.1.12.6 Alerting On System Reset Events
Reset event alerts occur after the reset. The alerting process must complete before the system reset is completed. This is done to simplify timing interactions between the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller and BIOS initialization after a system reset. 5.1.12.7 Alert-in-Progress Termination
An alert in progress will be terminated by a system reset or power on, or by disabling alerting via commands to the management controller.
5.1.13
NMI Generation
The following may cause the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller to generate an NMI pulse: * * * * * Receiving a Chassis Control command issued from one of the command interfaces. Use of this command will not cause an event to be logged in the SEL. Detecting that the front panel Diagnostic Interrupt button has been pressed. A PEF table entry matching an event where the filter entry has the NMI action indicated. A processor IERR or Thermal Trip (if the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is so configured). Watchdog timer pre-timeout expiration with NMI pre-timeout action enabled.
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller-generated NMI pulse duration is 200ms. This time is chosen to try to avoid the BIOS missing the NMI if the BIOS is in the SMI Handler and the SMI Handler is masking the NMI. Once an NMI has been generated by the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management

controller will not generate another NMI until the system has been reset or powered down, however, enabling NMI via an NMI Enable/Disable command will re-arm the NMI. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller captures the NMI source(s) and makes that information available via a Get NMI Source command. Reading the NMI source information causes it to be cleared. A second Set NMI Source command can be used by other agents, such as the BIOS SMI Handler, to register NMI sources when they detect NMI generating errors. Operating system NMI handlers that save the system crash state can use the Get NMI Source command to determine and save the cause of the NMI.
5.1.14
SMI Generation
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller can generate an SMI due to watchdog timer pre-timeout expiration with SMI pre-timeout interrupt specified. The SMI generation is software configurable. The above conditions may or may not be enabled to cause an SMI.

Platform Management Interconnects
Power Supply Interface Signals
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller supports two power supply control signals: Power On and Power Good. The Power On signal connects to the chassis power subsystem and is used to request power state changes (asserted = request Power On). The Power Good signal from the chassis power subsystem indicates current the power state (asserted = power is on). Figure 13 shows the power supply control signals and their sources. To turn the system on, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller asserts the Power On signal and waits for the Power Good signal to assert in response, indicating that DC power is on.

Platform Management Architecture
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller uses the Power Good signal to monitor whether the power supply is on and operational, and to confirm whether the actual system power state matches the intended system on/off power state that was commanded with the Power On signal. De-assertion of the Power Good signal generates an interrupt that the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller uses to detect either power subsystem failure or loss of AC power. If AC power is suddenly lost, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.2.1.1 Immediately asserts system reset Powers down the system Waits for configured system off time (depending on configuration) Attempts to power the system on (depending on configuration) Power-up Sequence
When turning on the system power in response to one of the event occurrences listed in Table 52 below, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller executes the following procedure: 1. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller asserts Power On and waits for the power subsystem to assert Power Good. The system is held in reset. 2. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller sends a Set ACPI Power State command, indicating an S0 state to all management controllers whose SDR management device records indicate that they should receive the notification. 3. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller initializes all sensors to their Power On initialization state. The Init Agent is run. 4. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller attempts to boot the system by running the FRB algorithm. 5.2.1.2 Power-down Sequence
To power down the system, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller effectively performs the sequence of power-up steps in reverse order. This operation can be initiated by one of the event occurrences listed in Table 52 and proceeds as follows: 1. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller asserts system reset (de-asserts Power Good). 2. If enabled, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller sends a Set ACPI Power State command, indicating an S0 state to all management controllers whose SDR management device records indicate that they should receive the notification. 3. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller de-asserts the Power On signal. 4. The power subsystem turns off system power upon de-assertion of the Power On signal.

System Reset Control
Reset Signal Output
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller asserts the System Reset signal on the baseboard to perform a system reset. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller asserts the System Reset signal before powering the system up. After power is stable (as indicated by the power subsystem Power Good signal), the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller sets the processor enable state as appropriate and de-asserts the System Reset signal, taking the system out of reset. To reset the system without a power state change, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller: 1. Asserts the System Reset signal. 2. Holds this state for as long as the reset button is pushed. When a command is used to generate a system reset, the state is held for the stipulated time. 3. De-asserts the System Reset signal.

Temperature-based Fan Speed Control
Baseboard hardware implements an ambient-temperature-based Fan Speed control that is part of normal system operation. With one exception, the management controller does not participate in fan speed control. The feature allows the baseboard to drive different fan speeds based on various temperature measurements in order to lower the acoustic noise of the system. The ambient-temperature thresholds at which the Fan Speed increases does not correspond to a non-critical (warning) condition for the fan - since the fan's state is still `OK' from the system point-of-view. The baseboard has two analog Fan Speed signals that are driven by pulse-width modulator (PWM) circuits by the baseboard hardware. These signals can be driven to several levels according to temperature measurements. Multiple bytes of a Sensor Initialization Table is used to hold parameters that set the temperature thresholds and corresponding PWM duty cycles. This SDR or table is loaded as part of the baseboard configuration. The management controller firmware expects to find an LM30 temperature sensor on the front panel board. Thus, the ambient temperature-based fan speed control capability is not enabled by default, but can be enabled via a management controller configuration change. 5.2.3.1 Fan Kick Start
Some fans may not begin rotating unless started at high speed. To ensure that the fans start, the baseboard hardware will start and run the fans at high speed for a brief interval following system power up.

Front Panel Control
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller provides the main front panel control functions. These include control of the system Power Button, Reset Button, Diagnostic Interrupt (Front Panel NMI) Button, System Identify Button, System ID LED, Status/Fault LED, and Chassis Intrusion Switch. Front panel control also includes the front panel lockout features. 5.2.4.1 Power Button
After de-bouncing the front panel Power Button signal, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller routes the signal state directly to the chipset Power Button signal input. If the chipset has been initialized by the BIOS, the chipset responds to the assertion of the signal by requesting a power state change. It reacts to the press of the switch, not the release of it. The Power Button signal toggles the system power. The Power Button signal to the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller is activated by a momentary contact switch on the front panel assembly. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller de-bounces the signal. After de-bouncing the signal, the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller routes it directly to the chipset via the Power Button signal. The chipset responds to the assertion of the signal. It responds to the press of the switch, not the release of it. If the system is in Secure Mode or the Power Button is forced protected, then when the power switch is pressed, a Platform Security Violation Attempt event message is generated and no power control action is taken. In the case of simultaneous button presses, the Power Button action takes priority over all other buttons. For example, if the sleep button is depressed for one second and then the Power Button is pressed and released, the system powers down. Due to the routing of the de-bounced Power Button signal to the chipset, the power signal action overrides the action of the other switch signals. 5.2.4.2 Reset Button
The reset button is a momentary contact button on the front panel. Its signal is routed through the front panel connector to the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller, which monitors and de-bounces it. The signal must be stable for at least 25ms before a state change is recognized. An assertion of the front Panel Reset signal to the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller causes the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller to start the reset and reboot process. This action is immediate and without the cooperation of any software or operating system running on the system. If Secure Mode is enabled or the button is forced protected, the reset button does not reset the system, but instead a Platform Security Violation Attempt event message is generated. The reset button is disabled in sleep mode.

Diagnostic Interrupt Button (Front Panel NMI)
As stated in the IPMI 1.5 Specification, a Diagnostic Interrupt is a non-maskable interrupt or signal for generating diagnostic traces and core dumps from the operating system. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller generates the NMI, which can be used as an OEM-specific diagnostic front panel interface. The Diagnostic Interrupt button is connected to the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller through the front panel connector. A Diagnostic Interrupt button press causes the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller to generate a system NMI pulse whose duration is platform-specific and unrelated to the button press duration. This generates an event (NMI button sensor) and PEF OEM action causes NMI generation. 5.2.4.4 Chassis ID Button and LED
The front panel interface supports a Chassis Identify Button and a corresponding Blue Chassis Identify LED. A second Blue Chassis Identify LED is mounted on the back edge of the baseboard where it may be visible when viewed from the back of an integrated system. The LED can provide a mechanism for identifying one system out of a group of identical systems in a high density rack environment The Chassis Identify LED can be turned on either locally via the push-button signal, or by local or remote software using the IPMI Chassis Identify command. The following list summarizes the Chassis Identify Push-button and LED operation: * The Identify signal state is preserved on Standby power across system power-on/off and system hard resets. It is not preserved if A/C power is removed. The initial LED state is Off when A/C power is applied. The IPMI Chassis Identify command can also be used to control the LED. If a the Chassis Identify command is used to turn the LED On, the command will automatically time out and turn off the LED unless another Chassis Identify command to turn on the LED is received. The default timeout for the command is 15 seconds. The baseboard supports the optional command parameter to allow the timeout to be set anywhere from 1 to 255 seconds. The optional timeout parameter in the Chassis Identify command also allows software to tell the LED to go Off immediately. The Chassis Identify Pushbutton works using a "push-on/push-off" operation. Each press of the push-button toggles the LED signal state between On and Off. If the pushbutton is used to turn the LED On, it will stay on indefinitely, until either the button is pressed again or a Chassis Identify or Chassis Identify LED command causes the LED to go Off.

The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller asserts this failure whenever it detects a power control fault (e.g., the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller detects that the system power is remaining on even though the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller has de-asserted the signal to turn off power to the system). A hot-swap backplane would use the Set Fault Indication command to indicate when one or more of the drive fault status LEDs are asserted on the hot-swap backplane The system is unable to power up due to incorrectly installed processor(s), or processor incompatibility Satellite controller sends a critical or non-recoverable state, via the Set Fault Indication command to the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller "Critical Event Logging" errors, including: System Memory Uncorrectable ECC error and Fatal/Uncorrectable Bus errors, such as PCI SERR and PERR

The server board SE7210TP1-E supports chassis intrusion detection. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller monitors the state of the Chassis Intrusion signal and makes the status of the signal available via the Get Chassis Status command and Physical Security sensor state. If enabled, a chassis intrusion state change causes the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller to generate a Physical Security sensor event message with a General Chassis Intrusion offset. 5.2.4.7 Front Panel Lockout
The management controller monitors a `Secure Mode' signal from the keyboard controller on the baseboard. When the Secure Mode signal is asserted, the management controller may lock out the ability to power down or reset the system using the power or reset push buttons, respectively. Secure Mode may also block the ability to initiate a sleep request using the Sleep push-button. The management controller generates a `Secure Mode Violation Attempt' event message if an attempt it made to power-down, sleep, or reset the system using the push buttons while Secure Mode is active. Note: The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller will prevent the system from powering up via button press when either secure mode or the front panel lockout I/O signal is asserted.
5.2.5
Secure Mode Operation
Secure mode is a signal from the SIO/keyboard controller. Power and reset buttons are locked out, except for the NMI and Chassis ID buttons. A security violation event is generated if buttons are pressed while secure mode is active. The Secure Mode feature allows the front panel switches and other system resources to be protected against unauthorized use or access. Secure Mode is enabled and controlled via the Set Secure Mode Options command. If it is enabled, Secure Mode can be controlled via the Secure Mode KB signal from the keyboard controller. When Secure Mode is active, pressing a protected front panel switch generates a Secure Mode Violation event. Specifically, this generates an assertion of the Secure Mode Violation Attempt offset of the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller's Platform Security Violation Attempt sensor. The Secure Mode state is cleared whenever AC power or system power is applied, when a system reset occurs, or when a National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller reset occurs. The Secure Mode state includes the bits that specify the actions that are to be taken when Secure Mode is active, as well as the Force Secure Mode On bit.

Revision 2.0
Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Platform Management Architecture
The Set Secure Mode Options command allows specific front panel switches to be protected irrespective of Secure Mode state. Please see the command definition in the IPMI v1.5 specification for details. The NMI switch can be locked using the Set Secure Mode Options command but is never protected by Secure Mode. This allows a system to be recovered from a hung state when Secure Mode is active.
5.2.6
FRU Information
The platform management architecture supports providing FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) information for the baseboard and major replaceable modules in the chassis. `Major Module' is defined as any circuit board in the system containing active electronic circuitry. FRU information includes board serial number, part number, name, asset tag, and other information. FRUs that contain a management controller use the controller to provide access to the FRU information. FRUs that lack a management controller can make their FRU information available via a SEEPROM directly connected to the IPMB or a private I2C bus. This allows the system integrator to provide a chassis FRU device without having to implement a management controller. This information can be accessed via IPMI FRU commands or using Master WriteRead commands. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller implements the interface for logical FRU inventory devices as specified in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 1.5. This functionality provides commands used for accessing and managing the FRU inventory information associated with the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller (FRU ID 0). These commands can be delivered via all interfaces. 5.2.6.1 National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller FRU Inventory Area Format
The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller FRU inventory area format follows the Platform Management FRU Information Storage Definition. Refer to Platform Management FRU Information Storage Definition, Version 1.0 for details. The National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller provides only lowlevel access to the FRU inventory area storage. It does not validate or interpret the data that are written. This includes the common header area. Applications cannot relocate or resize any FRU inventory areas. The baseboard's FRU information is kept in the National Semiconductor PC87431 integrated management controller internal flash memory.
5.2.7
LCD Support
The baseboard supports the addition of an LCD display via an IPMI-compatible management controller connected to the IPMB. The system BIOS sends IPMB commands to the display as described in the LCD Interface for IPMB specification.

Error Reporting and Handling
This section documents the types of system bus error conditions monitored by the Intel Server Board SE7210TP1-E.
6.1
Error Sources and Types
One of the major requirements of server management is to correctly and consistently handle system errors. System errors, which can be disabled and enabled individually or as a group, can be categorized as follows: * * * * * PCI bus Memory single- and multi-bit errors Sensors Processor internal errors, bus/address errors, thermal trip errors, temperatures and voltages, and GTL voltage levels Errors detected during POST, logged as `POST errors'
On the SE7210TP1-E platform, the Winbond* chip manages general hardware monitoring sensors on a hardware level; however action is only taken by software (i.e., an application such as LANDeskTM Client Manager).
6.1.1
PCI Bus Errors
The PCI bus defines two error pins, PERR# and SERR#, for reporting PCI parity errors and system errors, respectively. In the case of PERR#, the PCI bus master has the option to retry the offending transaction, or to report it using SERR#. All other PCI-related errors are reported by SERR#. SERR# is routed to NMI if enabled by BIOS.
6.1.2
Processor Bus Errors
The MCH supports the data integrity features supported by the Pentium(R) Pro bus, including address, request, and response parity. The E7210 chipset always generates ECC data while it is driving the processor data bus, although the data bus ECC can be disabled or enabled by BIOS. It is enabled by default.
6.1.3
Memory Bus Errors
The MCH is programmed to flag and log multi-bit errors (MBEs). The MCH then triggers an SMI to the 6300ESB I/O and the 6300ESB I/O asserts the SMI# signal. BIOS then logs the errors in the event log.
6.2
BIOS Error Messages, POST Codes, and BIOS Beep Codes
The BIOS indicates the current testing phase during POST by writing a hex code to I/O location 80h. If errors are encountered, error messages or codes will either be displayed to the video screen, or if an error has occurred prior to video initialization, errors will be reported through a series of audio beep codes. POST errors are logged in to the SEL.

Error Reporting and Handling
The error codes are defined by Intel and, whenever possible, are backward compatible with error codes used on earlier platforms.
6.2.1
BIOS Error Messages
During POST, if an error is detected, the BIOS will display an error code and message to the screen. The following table defines POST error codes and their associated messages. The BIOS prompts the user to press a key in case of serious errors. Some of the error messages are preceded by the string "Error" to highlight the fact that the system may be malfunctioning. All POST errors and warnings are logged in the SEL

Port 80h POST Codes
During the POST, the BIOS generates diagnostic progress codes (POST codes) to I/O port 80h. If the POST fails, execution stops and the last POST code generated is left at port 80h. This code is useful for determining the point where an error occurred.

BIOS Beep Codes
Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS displays an error message describing the problem. The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (a faulty video card or no card installed) or if an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero. An external ROM module (for example, a video BIOS) can also issue audible errors, usually consisting of one long tone followed by a series of short tones. For more information on the beep codes issued, check the documentation for that external device.
Revision 2.0

Intel(R) Server Board SE7210TP1-E TPS
Error Reporting and Handling
There are several POST routines that issue a POST terminal error and shut down the system if they fail. Before shutting down the system, the terminal-error handler issues a beep code signifying the test point error, writes the error to I/O port 80h, attempts to initialize the video and writes the error in the upper left corner of the screen (using both monochrome and color adapters). If POST completes normally, the BIOS issues one short beep before passing control to the operating system.

Bus Initialization Checkpoints
The system BIOS gives control to the different buses at several checkpoints to do various tasks. Table 64 describes the bus initialization checkpoints.
Checkpoint 2A 38 Table 64. Bus Initialization Checkpoints Description Different buses init (system, static, and output devices) to start if present. Different buses init (input, IPL, and general devices) to start if present.
While control is inside the different bus routines, additional checkpoints are output to port 80h as WORD to identify the routines under execution. In these WORD checkpoints, the low byte of the checkpoint is the system BIOS checkpoint from which the control is passed to the different bus routines. The high byte of the checkpoint is the indication of which routine is being executed in the different buses. Table 65 describes the upper nibble of the high byte and indicates the function that is being executed.
