Stop-Grant State
When the STPCLK# pin is asserted, the Stop-Grant state of the processor is entered 20 
bus clocks after the response phase of the processor-issued Stop Grant Acknowledge 
special bus cycle. For the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series, both logical 
processors must be in the Stop-Grant state before the deassertion of STPCLK#.
Since the AGTL+ signal pins receive power from the front side bus, these pins should 
not be driven (allowing the level to return to V
TT
) for minimum power drawn by the 
termination resistors in this state. In addition, all other input pins on the front side bus 
should be driven to the inactive state.
BINIT# is not serviced while the processor is in Stop-Grant state. The event is latched 
and can be serviced by software upon exit from the Stop-Grant state.
RESET# causes the processor to immediately initialize itself, but the processor will stay 
in Stop-Grant state. A transition back to the Normal state occurs with the deassertion 
of the STPCLK# signal.
A transition to the Grant Snoop state occurs when the processor detects a snoop on the 
front side bus (see 
While in the Stop-Grant state, SMI#, INIT#, BINIT# and LINT[1:0] are latched by the 
processor, and only serviced when the processor returns to the Normal state. Only one 
occurrence of each event is recognized upon return to the Normal state.
