BMC
The Board Management Controller of F06 OCP motherboard is adopting ASPEED AST1250 that is a highly
integrated single-chip solution, integrating several devices typically found on servers.
3.5
Clocks
The Grantley platform has three different clock architectures, external clock architecture (exCLK), integrated
system clock (isCLK) architecture and hybrid architecture. The C610 (PCH) is capable of providing both exCLK and
isCLK. F06 OCP motherboard uses isCLK mode. The external clock generator will not be necessary.
3.6
SATA
The C610 (PCH) supports total 10 SATA-III 6Gbs ports. The PCH contains three SATA controller modes, while IDE,
ACHI and RAID mode.
The project supports 10 SATAIII ports, while one SATA port connects to 7-pin connector, eight SATA ports connect
to two internal mini-SAS connectors for system HDD Back-Plane connection and one SATA port transfer to mSATA
connection.
