Land Listing and Signal Descriptions Table 24. Signal Description (Sheet 5 of 10) Name FERR#/PBE# GTLREF[1:0] HIT# HITM# IERR# IGNNE# INIT# Type Description Output FERR#/PBE# (floating point error/pending break event) is a multiplexed signal and its meaning is qualified by STPCLK#. When STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# indicates a floating-point error and will be asserted when the processor detects an unmasked floating-point error. When STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# is similar to the ERROR# signal on the Intel 387 coprocessor, and is included for compatibility with systems using MS-DOS*-type floating-point error reporting. When STPCLK# is asserted, an assertion of FERR#/PBE# indicates that the processor has a pending break event waiting for service. The assertion of FERR#/ PBE# indicates that the processor should be returned to the Normal state. For additional information on the pending break event functionality, including the identification of support of the feature and enable/disable information, refer to volume 3 of the Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual and the Intel Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction application note. Input GTLREF[1:0] determine the signal reference level for GTL+ input signals. GTLREF is used by the GTL+ receivers to determine if a signal is a logical 0 or logical 1. Input/ Output Input/ Output HIT# (Snoop Hit) and HITM# (Hit Modified) convey transaction snoop operation results. Any FSB agent may assert both HIT# and HITM# together to indicate that it requires a snoop stall that can be continued by reasserting HIT# and HITM# together. Output IERR# (Internal Error) is asserted by a processor as the result of an internal error. Assertion of IERR# is usually accompanied by a SHUTDOWN transaction on the processor FSB. This transaction may optionally be converted to an external error signal (such as NMI) by system core logic. The processor will keep IERR# asserted until the assertion of RESET#. This signal does not have on-die termination. Refer to Section 2.6.2 for termination requirements. Input IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) is asserted to the processor to ignore a numeric error and continue to execute noncontrol floatingpoint instructions. If IGNNE# is de-asserted, the processor generates an exception on a noncontrol floating-point instruction if a previous floating-point instruction caused an error. IGNNE# has no effect when the NE bit in control register 0 (CR0) is set. IGNNE# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of this signal following an Input/Output write instruction, it must be valid along with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/ Output Write bus transaction. Input INIT# (Initialization), when asserted, resets integer registers inside the processor without affecting its internal caches or floating-point registers. The processor then begins execution at the power-on Reset vector configured during power-on configuration. The processor continues to handle snoop requests during INIT# assertion. INIT# is an asynchronous signal and must connect the appropriate pins/lands of all processor FSB agents. If INIT# is sampled active on the active to inactive transition of RESET#, then the processor executes its Built-in Self-Test (BIST). 68 Datasheet
