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 an 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,
