3.1 Processor 
Sub-system 
The support circuitry for the processor sub-system consists of the following: 
• 
Dual 604-pin zero insertion force (ZIF) processor sockets 
• 
Processor host bus AGTL+ support circuitry 
• 
Reset configuration logic 
• 
Processor module presence detection logic 
• 
BSEL detection capabilities 
• 
CPU signal level translation 
• 
Common Enabling Kit (CEK) CPU retention support 
3.1.1 
Processor Voltage Regulators 
The baseboard has two VRDs (Voltage Regulator Devices) providing the appropriate voltages 
to the installed processors. Each VRD is compliant with the VRD 10.1 specification and is 
designed to support Intel
®
 Xeon™ processors that require up to a sustained maximum of 105 
AMPs and peak support of 120A.  
The baseboard supports the current requirements and processor speed requirements defined in 
the Flexible Mother Board (FMB) specification for all 800 MHz FSB Intel Xeon processors. FMB 
is an estimation of the maximum values the 800 MHz FSB versions of the Intel Xeon processors 
will have over their lifetime. The value is only an estimate and actual specifications for future 
processors may differ. At present, the current demand per FMB is a sustained maximum of a 
105 Amps and peak support of 120 Amps.  
3.1.2 
Reset Configuration Logic 
The BIOS determines the processor stepping, cache size, etc through the CPUID instruction. All 
processors in the system must operate at the same frequency; have the same cache sizes; and 
same VID. No mixing of product families is supported. Processors run at a fixed speed and 
cannot be programmed to operate at a lower or higher speed. 
3.1.3 
Processor Module Presence Detection 
Logic is provided on the baseboard to detect the presence and identity of installed processors. 
In dual-processor configurations, the on-board mini Baseboard Management Controller (mBMC) 
must read the processor voltage identification (VID) bits for each processor before turning on 
the VRD. If the VIDs of the two processors are not identical, then the mBMC will not turn on the 
VRD. Prior to enabling the embedded VRD, circuitry on the baseboard ensures that the 
following criteria are met: 
• 
In a uni-processor configuration, CPU 1 is installed 
• 
Only supported processors are installed in the system to prevent damage to the MCH 
• 
In dual processor configurations, both processors support the same FSB frequency 
3.1.4 GTL2006 
The GTL2006 is a 13-bit translator designed for 3.3V to GTL/GTL+ translations to the system 
bus. The translator incorporates all the level shifting and logic functions required to interface 
between the processor subsystem and the rest of the system.
