Features 6 Features 6.1 Power-On Configuration Options Several configuration options can be configured by hardware. The processor samples the hardware configuration at reset, on the active-to-inactive transition of RESET#. For specifications on these options, refer to Table 6-1. The sampled information configures the processor for subsequent operation. These configuration options cannot be changed except by another reset. All resets reconfigure the processor; for configuration purposes, the processor does not distinguish between a "warm" reset and a "power-on" reset. Table 6-1. Power-On Configuration Option Signals Configuration Option Output tristate Execute BIST Disable dynamic bus parking Symmetric agent arbitration ID RESERVED Signal1,2 SMI# A3# A25# BR0# A[24:4]#, A[35:26]# NOTE: 1. Asserting this signal during RESET# will select the corresponding option. 2. Address signals not identified in this table as configuration options should not be asserted during RESET#. 3. Disabling of any of the cores within a processor must be handled by configuring the EXT_CONFIG Model Specific Register (MSR). This MSR allows for the disabling of a single core per die within the processor package. 6.2 Clock Control and Low Power States The processor allows the use of AutoHALT and Stop-Grant states to reduce power consumption by stopping the clock to internal sections of the processor, depending on each particular state. See Figure 6-1 for a visual representation of the processor low power states. Datasheet 89
