Power Management
Reduced possible overshoot/undershoot signal quality issues seen by the processor 
I/O buffer receivers caused by reflections from potentially un-terminated 
transmission lines.
When a given rank is not populated, the corresponding chip select and CKE signals are 
not driven.
At reset, all rows must be assumed to be populated, until it can be proven that they are 
not populated. This is due to the fact that when CKE is tri-stated with an SO-DIMM 
present, the DIMM is not guaranteed to maintain data integrity.
SCKE tri-state should be enabled by BIOS where appropriate, since at reset all rows 
must be assumed to be populated.
6.4.2
DRAM Power Management and Initialization
The processor implements extensive support for power management on the SDRAM 
interface. There are four SDRAM operations associated with the Clock Enable (CKE) 
signals, which the SDRAM controller supports. The processor drives four CKE pins to 
perform these operations.
6.4.2.1
Initialization Role of CKE
During power-up, CKE is the only input to the SDRAM that is recognized (other than the 
DDR3 reset pin) once power is applied. It must be driven LOW by the DDR controller to 
make sure the SDRAM components float DQ and DQS during power-up.
CKE signals remain LOW (while any reset is active) until the BIOS writes to a 
configuration register. Using this method, CKE is guaranteed to remain inactive for 
much longer than the specified 200 micro-seconds after power and clocks to SDRAM 
devices are stable.
6.4.2.2
Conditional Self-Refresh
Intel Rapid Memory Power Management (Intel RMPM) conditionally places memory into 
self-refresh in the package C3 and C6 low-power states. RMPM functionality depends 
on graphics/display state (relevant only when internal graphics is being used), as well 
as memory traffic patterns generated by other connected I/O devices.
When entering the Suspend-to-RAM (STR) state, the processor core flushes pending 
cycles and then places all SDRAM ranks into self refresh. In STR, the CKE signals 
remain LOW so the SDRAM devices perform self-refresh.
The target behavior is to enter self-refresh for the package C3 and C6 states as long as 
there are no memory requests to service.
