Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family SMBus also implements hardware-
based Packet Error Checking for data robustness and the Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) to dynamically provide addresses to all SMBus devices.

Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel
®
VT-d)
Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family provides hardware support for
implementation of Intel Virtualization Technology with Directed I/O (Intel VT-d). Intel
VT-d consists of technology components that support the virtualization of platforms
based on Intel Architecture processors. Intel VT-d enables multiple operating systems
and applications to run in independent partitions. A partition behaves like a virtual
machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is
allocated its own subset of host physical memory.
JTAG Boundary-Scan
Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family implements the industry standard
JTAG interface and enables Boundary-Scan. Boundary-Scan can be used to ensure
device connectivity during the board manufacturing process. The JTAG interface allows
system manufacturers to improve efficiency by using industry available tools to test
Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family on an assembled board. Since JTAG is
a serial interface, it eliminates the need to create probe points for every pin in an XOR
chain. This eases pin breakout and trace routing and simplifies the interface between
the system and a bed-of-nails tester.
Note: The TRST# JTAG signal is an optional signal in the IEEE* 1149 JTAG Specification and is
not implemented in Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family.
Integrated Clock Controller
Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family contains an Integrated Clock
Controller (ICC) that generates various platform clocks from a 25 MHz crystal source.
The ICC contains PLLs, Modulators, and Dividers for generating various clocks suited to
the platform needs. The ICC supplies up to eight 100 MHz PCI Express 2.0 Specification
compliant clocks, one 100 MHz PCI Express* 3.0 Specification compliant clock for
BCLK, two 100 MHz PCI Express 3.0 Specification compliant clocks for PEG slots, one
100 MHz PCI Express 3.0 Specification compliant clock for Intel® In-Target Probe
(Intel® ITP) or a third PEG slot five 33 MHz PCI 2.3 Local Bus Specification compliant
single-ended clocks for LPC/TPM devices and two Flex Clocks that can be configured to
various frequencies that include 14.318 MHz, 33 MHz, and 24/48 MHz for use with SIO,
TPM, EC, LPC, and any other legacy functions.
Serial Over LAN (SOL) Function
This function supports redirection of keyboard and text screens to a terminal window
on a remote console. The keyboard and text redirection enables the control of the client
machine through the network without the need to be physically near that machine. Text
and keyboard redirection allows the remote machine to control and configure a client
system. The SOL function emulates a standard PCI device and redirects the data from
the serial port to the management console using the integrated LAN.

KVM Technology
Intel KVM technology provides enhanced capabilities to its predecessor – SOL. In
addition to the features set provided by SOL, Intel
KVM technology provides mouse and
graphic redirection across the integrated LAN. Unlike SOL, Intel
KVM technology does
