the primary and mirror DIMMs, thereby distributing the thermal image of the workload across all 
populated DIMM slots, and reducing the chances of thermal-based memory traffic throttling. 
In the “Mirrored” operating state, the occurrence of correctable and uncorrectable ECC errors 
are tracked and logged normally by the MCH, and escalated to system interrupt events as 
specified by the configuration register settings associated with errors on the memory 
subsystem. Counters implementing the “leaky bucket” function just described for on-line DIMM 
sparing track the aggregate count of single-bit and multiple-bit errors on a per DIMM basis. 
3.3.6.7 
Logging Memory RAS Information to the SEL 
In systems configured with either a Professional or Advanced IMM, the system BIOS is 
responsible for sending the current memory RAS configuration to the Sahalee BMC in 
accordance with Sahalee BMC spec.  
Note: The operation of the memory RASUM features described is supported regardless of the 
platform management model used. However, with no Intel® Management Module installed, the 
system has limited memory monitoring and logging capabilities. It is possible for a RASUM 
feature to be initiated without notification that the action has occurred when using standard on-
board platform instrumentation. 
BIOS will send the initial memory RAS state during POST memory configuration using the SMS 
commands. BIOS will update the memory RAS state when memory errors occur that affect the 
RAS state using the SMM commands. 
3.4 I/O 
Sub-System 
The I/O sub-system is made up of several components:  
• 
The MCH provides the PCI-Express interface to the full-height riser slot 
• 
The PXH provides the PCI-X interfaces for the two riser slots, the on-board SCSI controller 
and on-board Ethernet controllers 
• 
The ICH5-R provides the interface for the onboard video controller, super IO chip, and 
management sub-system.  
This section describes the function of each I/O interface and how they operate on the Server 
Board SE7520JR2. 
3.4.1 PCI 
Subsystem 
The primary I/O interface for the Server Board SE7520JR2 is PCI, with four independent PCI 
bus segments.  
• 
A PCI 33MHz/32-bit bus segment (P32-A) is controlled through the ICH5-R.  
• 
Two PCI-X 100MHz/64-bit bus segments (P64-A and P64-B) are controlled through PXH 
PCI bridge. 
• 
One dual x4 PCI-Express (P64-Express) bus segment is controlled from the MCH.  
The table below lists the characteristics of the four PCI bus segments.
