System Address Map
remote peer-to-peer. Refer to section 
 for details of how 
these registers are used in the inbound and outbound memory/configuration/message 
decoding.
Configuration transactions initiated by the processor on Intel QuickPath Interconnect 
can have non-zero value for address bits 28 and above. This is an artifact of the uncore 
logic in the processor. IIO’s outbound configuration address decoder must ignore these 
bits when decoding the PCIe configuration space.

System Management Mode (SMM)
System Management Mode uses main memory for System Management RAM (SMM 
RAM). The Processor supports: Compatible SMRAM (C_SMRAM), High Segment 
(HSEG), and Top of Memory Segment (TSEG). System Management RAM space 
provides a memory area that is available for the Intel SMI handlers and code and data 
storage. This memory resource is normally hidden from the system OS so that the 
processor has immediate access to this memory space upon entry to SMM. Processor 
provides three SMRAM options: 
• Below 1 MB option that supports compatible Intel SMI handlers.
• Above 1 MB option that allows new Intel SMI handlers to execute with write-back 
cacheable SMRAM. 
• Optional TSEG area of 1 MB, 2 MB, or 8 MB in size. The TSEG area lies below IGD 
stolen memory. 
The above 1 MB solutions require changes to compatible SMRAM handlers code to 
properly execute above 1 MB.
Note:
DMI Interface and PCI Express masters are not allowed to access the SMM space.

SMM Space Definition 
SMM space is defined by its addressed SMM space and its DRAM SMM space. The 
addressed SMM space is defined as the range of bus addresses used by the processor 
to access SMM space. DRAM SMM space is defined as the range of physical DRAM 
memory locations containing the SMM code. SMM space can be accessed at one of 
three transaction address ranges: Compatible, High, and TSEG. The Compatible and 
TSEG SMM space is not remapped and therefore the addressed and DRAM SMM space 
is the same address range. Since the High SMM space is remapped the addressed and 
DRAM SMM space is a different address range. Note that the High DRAM space is the 
same as the Compatible Transaction Address space. 
 describes three unique 
address ranges:
• Compatible Transaction Address 
• High Transaction Address 
• TSEG Transaction Address
