REQ[4:0]#
I/O
REQ[4:0]# (Request Command) must connect the appropriate pins of all 
processor front side bus agents. They are asserted by the current bus owner to 
define the currently active transaction type. These signals are source 
synchronous to ADSTB[1:0]#. Refer to the AP[1:0]# signal description for 
details on parity checking of these signals.
RESET#
I
Asserting the RESET# signal resets all processors to known states and 
invalidates their internal caches without writing back any of their contents. For 
a power-on Reset, RESET# must stay active for at least 1 ms after V
CC
 and 
BCLK have reached their specified levels. On observing active RESET#, all front 
side bus agents will deassert their outputs within two clocks. RESET# must not 
be kept asserted for more than 10 ms.
A number of bus signals are sampled at the active-to-inactive transition of 
RESET# for power-on configuration. These configuration options are described 
.
RS[2:0]#
I
RS[2:0]# (Response Status) are driven by the response agent (the agent 
responsible for completion of the current transaction), and must connect to the 
appropriate pins of all processor front side bus agents.
RSP#
I
RSP# (Response Parity) is driven by the response agent (the agent responsible 
for completion of the current transaction) during assertion of RS[2:0]#, the 
signals for which RSP# provides parity protection. It must connect to the 
appropriate pins of all processor front side bus agents.
A correct parity signal is electrically high if an even number of covered signals 
are electrically low and electrically low if an odd number of covered signals are 
electrically low. If RS[2:0]# are all electrically high, RSP# is also electrically 
high, since this indicates it is not being driven by any agent guaranteeing 
correct parity.
SKTOCC#
O
SKTOCC# (Socket occupied) will be pulled to ground by the processor to 
indicate that the processor is present. There is no connection to the processor 
silicon for this signal.
SM_ALERT#
O
SM_ALERT# (SMBus Alert) is an asynchronous interrupt line associated with 
the SMBus Thermal Sensor device. It is an open-drain output and the 
processor includes a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to SM_VCC for this signal. For more 
information on the usage of the SM_ALERT# pin, see 
.
SM_CLK
I/O
The SM_CLK (SMBus Clock) signal is an input clock to the system management 
logic which is required for operation of the system management features of the 
Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 7100 series. This clock is driven by the SMBus 
controller and is asynchronous to other clocks in the processor.The processor 
includes a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to SM_VCC for this signal.
SM_DAT
I/O
The SM_DAT (SMBus Data) signal is the data signal for the SMBus. This signal 
provides the single-bit mechanism for transferring data between SMBus 
devices. The processor includes a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to SM_VCC for this 
signal.
SM_EP_A[2:0]
I
The SM_EP_A (EEPROM Select Address) pins are decoded on the SMBus in 
conjunction with the upper address bits in order to maintain unique addresses 
on the SMBus in a system with multiple processors. To set an SM_EP_A line 
high, a pull-up resistor should be used that is no larger than 1 kΩ
.
 The 
processor includes a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor to V
SS
 for each of these signals.
For more information on the usage of these pins, see 
SM_TS_A[1:0]
I
The SM_TS_A (Thermal Sensor Select Address) pins are decoded on the SMBus 
in conjunction with the upper address bits in order to maintain unique 
addresses on the SMBus in a system with multiple processors.
The device’s addressing, as implemented, includes a Hi-Z state for both 
address pins. The use of the Hi-Z state is achieved by leaving the input floating 
(unconnected).
For more information on the usage of these pins, see 
SM_VCC
I
SM_VCC provides power to the SMBus components on the Dual-Core Intel 
Xeon processor 7100 series package.
SM_WP
I
WP (Write Protect) can be used to write protect the Scratch EEPROM. The 
Scratch EEPROM is write-protected when this input is pulled high to SM_VCC. 
The processor includes a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor to V
SS
 for this signal.
