MCERR#
I/O
MCERR# (Machine Check Error) is asserted to indicate an
unrecoverable error without a bus protocol violation. It may be driven
by all processor FSB agents.
MCERR# assertion conditions are configurable at a system level.
Assertion options are defined by the following options:
• Enabled or disabled.
• Asserted, if configured, for internal errors along with IERR#.
• Asserted, if configured, by the request initiator of a bus
transaction after it observes an error.
• Asserted by any bus agent when it observes an error in a bus
transaction.
For more details regarding machine check architecture, refer to the
Intel

64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual,
Volume 3.
MS_ID[1:0]
O
These signals are provided to indicate the Market Segment for the
processor and may be used for future processor compatibility or for
keying. These signals are not connected to the processor die. Both
the bits 0 and 1 are logic 1 and are no connects on the package.
PROCHOT#
O
PROCHOT# (Processor Hot) will go active when the processor’s
temperature monitoring sensor detects that the processor has
reached its maximum safe operating temperature. This indicates that
the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) has been activated, if enabled. The
TCC will remain active until shortly after the processor deasserts
PROCHOT#. See
Section 6.2.3
for more details.
PWRGOOD
I
PWRGOOD (Power Good) is an input. The processor requires this
signal to be a clean indication that all processor clocks and power
supplies are stable and within their specifications. “Clean” implies
that the signal will remain low (capable of sinking leakage current),
without glitches, from the time that the power supplies are turned on
until they come within specification. The signal must then transition
monotonically to a high state. PWRGOOD can be driven inactive at
any time, but clocks and power must again be stable before a
subsequent rising edge of PWRGOOD. It must also meet the
minimum pulse width specification in
Table 2-18
, and be followed by
a 1-10 ms RESET# pulse.
The PWRGOOD signal must be supplied to the processor; it is used to
protect internal circuits against voltage sequencing issues. It should
be driven high throughout boundary scan operation.

REQ[4:0]#
I/O
REQ[4:0]# (Request Command) must connect the appropriate pins of
all processor FSB agents. They are asserted by the current bus owner
to define the currently active transaction type. These signals are
source synchronous to ADSTB[1:0]#. Refer to the AP[1:0]# signal
description for details on parity checking of these signals.
3
RESET#
I
Asserting the RESET# signal resets all processors to known states
and invalidates their internal caches without writing back any of their
contents. For a power-on Reset, RESET# must stay active for at least
1 ms after V
CC
and BCLK have reached their proper specifications. On
observing active RESET#, all FSB agents will deassert their outputs
within two clocks. RESET# must not be kept asserted for more than
10 ms while PWRGOOD is asserted.
A number of bus signals are sampled at the active-to-inactive
transition of RESET# for power-on configuration. These configuration
options are described in the
Section 7.1
.
This signal does not have on-die termination and must be terminated
on the system board.
3
RS[2:0]#
I
RS[2:0]# (Response Status) are driven by the response agent (the
agent responsible for completion of the current transaction), and
must connect the appropriate pins of all processor FSB agents.
