DEFER# I DEFER# is asserted by an agent to indicate that a transaction cannot
be guaranteed in-order completion. Assertion of DEFER# is normally
the responsibility of the addressed memory or I/O agent. This signal
must connect the appropriate pins of all processor FSB agents.
3
DP[3:0]# I/O DP[3:0]# (Data Parity) provide parity protection for the D[63:0]#
signals. They are driven by the agent responsible for driving
D[63:0]#, and must connect the appropriate pins of all processor
FSB agents.
3
DRDY# I/O DRDY# (Data Ready) is asserted by the data driver on each data
transfer, indicating valid data on the data bus. In a multi-common
clock data transfer, DRDY# may be deasserted to insert idle clocks.
This signal must connect the appropriate pins of all processor FSB
agents.

DSTBN[3:0]# I/O Data strobe used to latch in D[63:0]#. 3
DSTBP[3:0]# I/O Data strobe used to latch in D[63:0]#. 3
FERR#/PBE# O FERR#/PBE# (floating-point error/pending break event) is a
multiplexed signal and its meaning is qualified by STPCLK#. When
STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# indicates a floating-point
error and will be asserted when the processor detects an unmasked
floating-point error. When STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# is
similar to the ERROR# signal on the Intel387 coprocessor, and is
included for compatibility with systems using MS-DOS*-type floating-
point error reporting. When STPCLK# is asserted, an assertion of
FERR#/PBE# indicates that the processor has a pending break event
waiting for service. The assertion of FERR#/PBE# indicates that the
processor should be returned to the Normal state. For additional
information on the pending break event functionality, including the
identification of support of the feature and enable/disable
information, refer to Vol. 3 of the Intel
®
64 and IA-32 Architectures
Software Developer’s Manual and the Intel Processor Identification
and the CPUID Instruction application note.

FORCEPR# I The FORCEPR# (force power reduction) input can be used by the
platform to cause the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400
Series to activate the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC).
GTLREF_ADD_MID
GTLREF_ADD_END
I GTLREF_ADD determines the signal reference level for AGTL+
address and common clock input lands. GTLREF_ADD is used by the
AGTL+ receivers to determine if a signal is a logical 0 or a logical 1.
Please refer to Table 2-19 and the appropriate platform design
guidelines for additional details.
