LINT[1:0] are local interrupt signals. These pins are disabled after RESET#. LINT[0] is typically 
software configured as INT, an 8259-compatible maskable interrupt request signal. LINT[1] is 
typically software configured as NMI, a non-maskable interrupt.Both signals are asynchronous 
inputs.

LOCK# is never asserted or sampled in the Itanium 2 processor system environment.

The NMI signal is the Non-maskable Interrupt signal. Asserting NMI causes an interrupt with an 
internally supplied vector value of 2. An external interrupt-acknowledge transaction is not 
generated. If NMI is asserted during the execution of an NMI service routine, it remains pending 
and is recognized after the EOI is executed by the NMI service routine. At most, one assertion of 
NMI is held pending.

NMI is rising-edge sensitive. Recognition of NMI is guaranteed in a specific clock if it is asserted 
synchronously and meets the setup and hold times. If asserted asynchronously, asserted and 
deasserted pulse widths of NMI must be a minimum of two clocks.This signal must be software 
configured to be used either as NMI or as another local interrupt (LINT1 pin).

The Guaranteed Cache Line Ownership (OWN#) signal is driven to the bus on the second clock of 
the Request Phase on the Ab[5]# pin. OWN# is asserted if cache line ownership is guaranteed. This 
allows a memory controller to ignore memory updates due to implicit writebacks.

The Platform Management Interrupt (PMI#) signal triggers the highest priority interrupt to the 
processor. PMI# is usually used by the system to trigger system events that will be handled by 
platform specific firmware.

The Power Good (PWRGOOD) signal must be deasserted (L) during power-on, and must be 
asserted (H) after RESET# is first asserted by the system.

The REQ[5:0]# are the Request Command signals. They are asserted by the current bus owner in 
both clocks of the Request Phase. In the first clock, the REQa[5:0]# signals define the transaction 
type to a level of detail that is sufficient to begin a snoop request. In the second clock, REQb[5:0]# 
signals carry additional information to define the complete transaction type. REQb[4:3]# signals 
transmit DSZ[1:0]# or the data transfer information of the requestor for transactions that involve 
data transfer. REQb[2:0]# signals transmit LEN[2:0]# (the data transfer length information). In 
both clocks, REQ[5:0]# and ADS# are protected by parity RP#.
