Technical Product Specification

Intel® Server Board S1400FP TPS Functional Architecture
Revision 2.0 Intel order number G64246-003 33
 Function Disable. The chipset provides the ability to disable the following integrated
functions: LAN, USB, LPC, SATA, PCI Express* or SMBus*. Once disabled, these
functions no longer decode I/O, memory, or PCI configuration space. Also, no interrupts
or power management events are generated from the disabled functions.
 Intruder Detect. The chipset provides an input signal (INTRUDER#) that can be attached
to a switch that is activated by the system case being opened. The chipset can be
programmed to generate an SMI# or TCO interrupt due to an active INTRUDER# signal.

System Management Bus (SMBus* 2.0)
The C600 chipset contains a SMBus* Host interface that allows the processor to communicate
with SMBus* slaves. This interface is compatible with most I
2
C devices. Special I
2
C commands
are implemented. The C600 chipset’s SMBus* host controller provides a mechanism for the
processor to initiate communications with SMBus* peripherals (slaves). Also, the C600 chipset
supports slave functionality, including the Host Notify protocol. Hence, the host controller
supports eight command protocols of the SMBus* interface (see System Management Bus
(SMBus*) Specification, Version 2.0): Quick Command, Send Byte, Receive Byte, Write
Byte/Word, Read Byte/Word, Process Call, Block Read/Write, and Host Notify.
The C600 chipset’s SMBus* also implements hardware-based Packet Error Checking for data
robustness and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to dynamically provide address to all
SMBus* devices.

Active Management Technology (Intel
®
AMT)
Intel
®
Active Management Technology (Intel
®
AMT) is the next generation of client
manageability using the wired network. Intel AMT is a set of advanced manageability features
developed as a direct result of IT customer feedback gained through Intel market research. With
the new implementation of System Defense in C600 chipset, the advanced manageability
feature set of Intel AMT is further enhanced.
3.3.19
Integrated NVSRAM Controller
The C600 chipset has an integrated NVSRAM controller that supports up to 32KB external
device. The host processor can read and write data to the NVSRAM component.
3.3.20
Intel
®
Virtualization Technology for Direct I/O (Intel
®
VT-d)
The C600 chipset 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
Technology 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.
3.3.21
JTAG Boundary-Scan
The C600 chipset adds the industry standard JTAG interface and enables Boundary-Scan in
place of the XOR chains used in previous generations of chipsets. Boundary-Scan can be used
to ensure device connectivity during the board manufacturing process. The JTAG interface
