Server Board S1200V3RP TPS
Revision 1.2
24
Board Management Controller as well as providing support for the optional Trusted Platform
Module (TPM).
3.4.5
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The Intel
®
C220 series chipset implements an SPI Interface as an alternative interface for the
BIOS flash device.
3.4.6
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
The Intel
®
C220 series chipset has up to two Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) host
controllers that support USB high-speed signaling. High-speed USB 2.0 allows data transfers up
to 480 Mb/s which is 40 times faster than full-speed USB.
The Intel
®
C220 series chipset contains an eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) host
controller which supports up to fourteen USB 2.0 ports of which up to six can be used as
USB3.0 ports with board routing, ACPI table, and BIOS considerations. This controller allows
data transfers of up to 5Gb/s. The controller supports SuperSpeed (SS), high-speed (HS), full-
speed (FS), and low speed (LS) traffic on the bus.

Native USB Support
During the power-on self-test (POST), the BIOS initializes and configures the USB subsystem.
The BIOS can initialize and use the following types of USB devices:
USB Specification-compliant keyboards
USB Specification-compliant mouse
USB Specification-compliant storage devices that utilize bulk-only transport mechanism
USB devices are scanned to determine if they are required for booting.
The BIOS supports USB 2.0 mode of operation, and as such supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
compliant devices and host controllers.
During the pre-boot phase, the BIOS automatically supports the hot addition and hot removal of
USB devices and a short beep is emitted to indicate such an action. For example, if a USB
device is hot plugged, the BIOS detects the device insertion, initializes the device, and makes it
available to the user. During POST, when the USB controller is initialized, it emits a short beep
for each USB device in the system as if
they were all just “hot added”.
Only on-board USB controllers are initialized by BIOS. This does not prevent the operating
system from supporting any available USB controllers including add-in cards.
