Product Architecture Overview Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS  Uses Matrix Storage Manager for Windows*  MDRAID supported in Linux (Does not require a driver) Note: No boot drive support to targets attached through SAS expander card. 1) See latest product errata list for support status. Product Errata are documented in the Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL, Intel® Server System R1000GZ/GL, Intel® Server System R2000GZ/GL Monthly Specification Update which can be downloaded from www.intel.com. 3.3.4 Manageability The chipset integrates several functions designed to manage the system and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system. These system management functions are designed to report errors, diagnose the system, and recover from system lockups without the aid of an external microcontroller.  TCO Timer. The chipset's integrated programmable TCO timer is used to detect system locks. The first expiration of the timer generates an SMI# that the system can use to recover from a software lock. The second expiration of the timer causes a system reset to recover from a hardware lock.  Processor Present Indicator. The chipset looks for the processor to fetch the first instruction after reset. If the processor does not fetch the first instruction, the chipset will reboot the system.  ECC Error Reporting. When detecting an ECC error, the host controller has the ability to send one of several messages to the chipset. The host controller can instruct the chipset to generate either SMI#, NMI, SERR#, or TCO interrupt.  Function Disable. The chipset provides the ability to disable the following integrated functions: LAN, USB, LPC, SATA, PCI Express* or SMBus*. Once disabled, these functions no longer decode I/O, memory, or PCI configuration space. Also, no interrupts or power management events are generated from the disabled functions. 38 Revision 1.1 Intel order number G24881-004
