 
All RSL signals are routed adjacent to a ground reference plane. This includes all signals from 
the last RIMM to the termination. If signals are routed on the bottom from the last RIMM to 
the termination, the ground reference plane on the 3
rd
 layer must extend under these signals 
and include the ground side of the V
TERM
 decoupling capacitors. 
 
CTABs must not cross (or be on top of) power plane splits. They must be entirely referenced 
to ground. 
 
At least 10 mils of ground flood isolation is required around all RSL signals. (Ground isolation 
must be exactly 6 mils from RSL signals.) Ground flood is recommended for isolation. This 
ground flood should be as close as possible to the MCH (and the first RIMM). If possible, 
connect the flood to the ground balls/pins on the MCH/connector.

 at each connector. 
 
Use a 10 mil-wide trace (6 mils minimum).

Do not route V

 near high-speed signals. 
• 
RSL routing 
 
All signals must be length-matched within ±10 mils of the nominal RSL length. (Note: Use the 
table in the Intel
®
 820 Chipset Family: 82820 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Datasheet to 
verify the trace lengths.) Ensure that signals with a dummy via are compensated correctly. 
 
ALL RSL signals must have one via near the MCH BGA pad. Signals routed on the secondary 
side of the MB will have a “real via,” while signals routed on the primary side will have a 
“dummy via.” Additionally, all signals with a dummy via must have an additional trace length 
of 25 mils. 
 
B-side RIMM connector signals are routed on the secondary side of the motherboard. A-side 
RIMM connector signals are routed on the primary side of the motherboard. 
 
Signals must “alternate” layers, as shown in the following table: 
 
If Signal Routed from MCH 
to 1st RIMM on: 
Then Route Signal from 1st
 
RIMM
to Next RIMM on:

• 
Clock routing 
 
Clock signals must be routed as a differential pair. The traces must be 14 mils wide and 6 mils 
apart (with no ground isolation) when they are routed as a differential pair. For very short 
sections under the MCH and under the first RIMM, it will not be possible to route as a 
differential pair. In these sections, the clocks signals must neck up to 18 mils and be ground-
isolated with at least 10 mils ground isolation. 
 
Clock signals must be length-compensated (using the 1.021 length factor mentioned in Section 
2.8.3 2×/4× Timing Domain Routing Guidelines
, 2

×
 Timing Domain Routing Guidelines). 
Ensure that each clock pair is length-matched within ±2 mils. 
 
When clock signals serpentine, they must serpentine together (to maintain differential 14:6 
routing). 
 
22 mil ground isolation is required on each side of the differential pair.
