By default, the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series will issue two Stop Grant Acknowledge special bus cycles, one for each die. Once the STPCLK# pin has been asserted, it may only be deasserted once the processor is in the Stop Grant state. All processor cores will enter the Stop-Grant state once the STPCLK# pin is asserted. Additionally, all processor cores must be in the Stop Grant state before the deassertion of STPCLK#. Since the AGTL+ signal pins receive power from the front side bus, these pins should not be driven (allowing the level to return to VTT) for minimum power drawn by the termination resistors in this state. In addition, all other input pins on the front side bus should be driven to the inactive state. BINIT# will not be serviced while the processor is in Stop-Grant state. The event will be latched and can be serviced by software upon exit from the Stop Grant state. RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize itself, but the processor will stay in Stop-Grant state. A transition back to the Normal state will occur with the deassertion of the STPCLK# signal. A transition to the Grant Snoop state will occur when the processor detects a snoop on the front side bus (see Section 7.2.4.1).
