Notes:
1. Refer to Table 6-19 for details on the R
ON
(Buffer on Resistance) value for this signal.
6.3 Power-On Configuration (POC) Options
Several configuration options can be configured by hardware. The processor samples
its hardware configuration at reset, on the active-to-inactive transition of RESET_N, or
upon assertion of PWRGOOD (inactive-to-active transition). For specifics on these
options, please refer to Table 6-7.
The sampled information configures the processor for subsequent operation. These
configuration options cannot be changed except by another reset transition of the
latching signal (RESET_N or PWRGOOD).
Notes:
1. Output tri-state option enables Fault Resilient Booting (FRB), for FRB details see Section 6.4. The signal
used to latch PROCHOT_N for enabling FRB mode is RESET_N.
2. This signal is sampled at cold reset / PWRGOOD-reset and warm reset. This is setup before PWRGOOD
asserts and held after reset deasserts.
3. This signal is sampled at cold reset / PWRGOOD-reset. This is setup before powergood asserts and held
after reset deasserts.
6.4 Fault Resilient Booting (FRB)
The Intel® Xeon® E7 v2 processor supports both socket and core level Fault Resilient
Booting (FRB), which provides the ability to boot the system as long as there is one
processor functional in the system. One limitation to socket level FRB is that the system
cannot boot if the legacy socket that connects to an active PCH becomes unavailable
