Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Table 3. Mixed Processor Configurations Error Processor family not Identical Severity Fatal System Action The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows: Logs the error into the system event log (SEL) Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an IPMI command.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.1.2 Functional Architecture Multiple Processor Initialization IA-32 processors have a microcode-based bootstrap processor (BSP) arbitration protocol. The BSP starts executing from the reset vector (F000:FFF0h). A processor that does not perform the role of BSP is referred to as an application processor (AP).
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Intel® EM64T operating modes are not manually selectable. The system BIOS, hardware drivers, operating system, and applications that are in use determine the operating mode in use.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Functional Architecture Note: If the setup option is changed to enable or disable the Intel® Virtualization Technology setting in the processor, the user must perform an AC power cycle for the change to take effect. 3.1.8 Platform Environmental Control Interface (PECI) PECI is a thermal management interface that uses a single wire bus interface to provide a communication channel between an Intel® processor and an external monitoring device (PECI host controller).
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Heatsink assembly Thermal Interface Material (TIM) Server Board TP02091 CEK Spring Chassis AF002163 Figure 6. CEK Processor Mounting 3.2 Intel® 5400 Memory Controller Hub Chipset (Intel® 5400 MCH Chipset) This section describes the general functionality of the memory controller hub as it is implemented on the Intel® Server Board S5400SF.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.2.1 Functional Architecture Processor Front-Side Buses The MCH supports two independent point-to-point processor front-side bus (FSB) interfaces. Each front-side bus is 64 bits wide. Depending on the installed processor, the interfaces operate using a 266 MHz,333 MHz, or 400 MHz clock, which is then quad pumped to support 1066 MT/s, 1333 MT/s, and 1600 MT/s transfer rates respectively.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS The Snoop Filter lookup latency is four SF-clocks or two MCH core clocks to support single snoop stall in an idle condition (single request issued from either bus). If both buses make requests simultaneously, the snoop-filter always selects bus 0 first. In such a scenario, bus 0 request has one snoop-stall and bus 1 request has two snoop-stalls.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Functional Architecture Note: The use of 800 MHz FBDIMMs is only supported with Intel® Xeon® processors that support a 1600 MHz front-side bus. Using these FBDIMMs with processors that support slower front-side bus frequencies is not supported on this server board. On the Intel® Server Board S5400SF, a pair of channels becomes a branch where Branch 0 consists of channels A and B, and Branch 1 consists of channels C and D.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS The following table lists the currently supported memory types: Table 7.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.2.3.2 Functional Architecture DIMM Population Rules and Supported DIMM Configurations Intel supported DIMM population configurations for this server board are shown in the following table: Supported and Validated configuration : Slot is populated Supported but not validated configuration : Slot is populated Slot is not populated Table 8.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS The DIMM population rules for this server board are as follows: 3.2.3.3 Within a branch, DIMMs must be populated in slot order starting with Slot 1 for each channel, followed by slot 2, then slot 3 and ending with slot 4. DIMMs must be populated in matching pairs across channels within a given branch.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.2.3.4 Functional Architecture Memory upgrades The minimum memory upgrade increment is two DIMMs per branch. The DIMMs must cover the same slot position on both channels. DIMMs pairs must be identical with respect to size, speed, and organization. DIMMs that cover adjacent slot positions do not need to be identical.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS When the branch operates in the single-channel mode, the MCH supports an 8-byte-over-32byte Single Error Correct, Double Error Detect (SECDED+) code. It is the same ECC code that is used in the dual-channel mode, but the number of devices over which the codeword is defined is half, thereby reducing the SDDC properties to SECDED+.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.2.3.7 Functional Architecture FBD Memory Thermal Management ® The Intel 5400 MCH Chipset implements an adaptive throttling methodology to limit the number of memory requests to the FBDIMMs. This methodology is comprised of the following: Activation throttling: Consists of closed/open loop throttling of activates on the FBDIMM. - Closed Loop Thermal Activate Throttle Control when the temperature of the FBDIMMs increases beyond a specified threshold.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS system, the BIOS halts with a POST Diagnostic LED code 0xE1 (no memory detected) and halts the system. Any of the above errors causes a memory error beep code. 3.2.3.8.3 Publishing System Memory The BIOS displays the “Total Memory” of the system during POST if Display Logo is disabled in the BIOS setup.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.2.3.8.4 Functional Architecture Memory Interleaving In general, to optimize memory accesses, the BIOS enables Branch Interleaving, which allows the chipset to interleave data for successive cache-lines between the autonomous branches. Additionally, the Intel® 5400 MCH Chipset also provides interleaving across logical memory devices called ranks. A pair of single-ranked lock-stepped FBDIMMs constitutes a memory rank.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS During POST, the BIOS captures and reports memory BIST errors. At runtime, the BIOS captures and reports correctable, uncorrectable, and fatal errors occurring in the memory subsystem. 3.2.3.9.1 Faulty FBDIMMs The BIOS provides detection of a faulty or failing FBDIMM. A FBDIMM is considered faulty if it fails the memory BIST. The BIOS enables the in-built memory BIST engine in the Intel® 5400 MCH Chipset during memory initialization in POST.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Functional Architecture The BIOS initializes the correctable error leaky bucket counters to a value of ten for correctable ECC errors. These counters are on a per-rank basis. A rank applies to a pair of FBDIMMs on adjacent channels functioning in lock-stepped mode. 3.2.3.9.3.1 BIOS Policies on Correctable Errors For each correctable error that occurs before the threshold is reached, the BIOS logs a “Correctable Error” SEL entry.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.2.3.9.5.1 BIOS Policies on Uncorrectable Errors For uncorrectable errors, the BIOS logs a single “Uncorrectable Error” SEL entry. The BIOS then generates an NMI. 3.2.3.10 Memory Error Reporting Memory errors are reported through a variety of platform-specific elements, as described in the following table. Table 9.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.2.3.10.2 Functional Architecture DIMM Fault Indicator LEDs Intel® server boards have a fault-indicator LED next to each DIMM socket. The LEDs are turned on when the FBDIMM on the adjacent DIMM socket is determined to be faulty. The generic usage model for the DIMM Fault LEDs is as follows: Table 11. DIMM Fault LED Behavior Summary Error Event A FBDIMM fails Memory BIST during POST. N/A Mode of Operation Description DIMM LED for the failing FBDIMM is turned on.

Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.3.4.2 Functional Architecture Legacy USB Support The BIOS supports PS/2 emulation of USB keyboards and mice. During POST, the BIOS initializes and configures the root hub ports and then searches for a keyboard and/or a mouse on the USB hub and then enables them. 3.3.5 System Management Bus (SMBus 2.0) ® The Intel 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub contains a SMBus host interface that allows the processor to communicate with SMBus slaves.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS PCI Express* Gen 2 bit lane is 5 Gbit/s similarly with a maximum theoretical realized bandwidth of 2 GB/s in each direction. The Gen 2 speeds are only supported for the x16 high-performance PCI Express* interfaces. Each of the MCH PCI Express* ports are organized as four bidirectional bit lanes, and are referred to as a x4 port. The following table lists the characteristics of each PCI bus segment used on this server board: Table 12.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.4.4 Functional Architecture MCH to Intel® 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub Chip-to-Chip Interface: Two x4 PCI Express* Bus Segments The Enterprise Southbridge Interface (ESI) in the MCH is the chip-to-chip connection to the Intel® 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub. The ESI is a specialized inter-chip interface based upon the PCI Express* Base Specification, Revision 1.1 with special commands/features added to enhance the PCI Express* interface for enterprise applications.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS In the legacy mode, the BIOS supports the INT 1Ah PCI BIOS interface calls. 3.4.8 Automatic IRQ Assignment The BIOS automatically assigns IRQs to devices in the system for legacy compatibility. No method is provided to manually configure the IRQs for devices. 3.4.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 3.5.1 Functional Architecture Video Modes The ATI* ES1000 chip supports all standard IBM* VGA modes. The following table shows the 2D modes supported for both CRT and LCD. Table 13.
Functional Architecture 3.6 Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Network Interface Controller (NIC) Network interface support is provided from the built-in dual GbE MAC features of the Intel® 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub in conjunction with the Intel® 82563EB compact Physical Layer Transceiver (PHY). Together, they provide the server board with support for dual LAN ports designed for 10/100/1000 Mbps operation.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Functional Architecture Two additional MAC addresses are assigned to the Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Integrated BMC) embedded in the Intel® 6321ESB I/O Controller Hub. These MAC addresses are used by the Integrated BMC’s embedded network stack to enable IPMI remote management over LAN. Integrated BMC LAN Channel 1 is assigned the NIC1 MAC address + 2, and Integrated BMC LAN Channel 2 is assigned the NIC1 MAC address + 3. 3.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS DSR signal (Default), the jumper block must be configured with the serial port jumper over pins 3 and 4. Pin 1 on the jumper is identified by “*”. Note: By default, the rear RJ-45 serial port is configured to support a DSR signal. This configuration is compatible with the Cisco standard. J9D1 1-2: DCD to DTR 3-4: DSR to DTR (factory default) AF002168 Figure 10.

Server Management - 4.2 Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Integrated BMC notification to Intel® RMM2 of select Integrated BMC status changes. Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) The Integrated BMC features work with the ACPI BIOS and with the hardware features of the server board. The following sub-sections illustrate these capabilities. The following table shows the ACPI power states. Table 18. ACPI Power States State S0 Supported Yes S1 Yes Sleeping. Hardware context maintained.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Server Management The power, sleep, reset, front panel NMI, and ID buttons are unprotected. The Integrated BMC detects that the system has exited the ACPI S1 sleep state when it is notified by the BIOS SMI handler. 4.2.5 ACPI S4 Support The following events occur when the ACPI S4 state is entered: The fans are stopped. The normal operating system boot process is not followed while exiting from hibernated state.
Server Management 4.3.2.1 Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Watchdog Timer Timeout Reason Bits To implement FRB2, during POST the BIOS determines whether a Integrated BMC watchdog timer timeout occurred on the previous boot attempt. If it finds that a watchdog timeout did occur, it determines whether that timeout was an FRB2 timeout, a system management software (SMS) timeout, or an intentional, timed hard reset.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 4.4.1 Server Management Power LED The green power LED is active when system DC power is on. The power LED is controlled by the BIOS. The power LED reflects a combination of the state of system (DC) power and the system ACPI state. The following table shows the states that can be assumed. Table 19. Power LED Indicator States 4.4.

Server Management 4.5 Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Platform Control This server board has embedded platform control that is capable of automatically adjusting system performance and system acoustic levels. Performance Management Acoustic Management Performance Throttling Integrated Control Thermal Monitoring F a n S peed Control Figure 12. Platform Control 4.5.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Server Management Memory throttling is a feature of the Intel® 5400 Chipset to prevent FBDIMM memory from overheating. If the performance of the installed FBDIMMs approaches their supported thermal limit for a given platform, the system BIOS initiates memory throttling. This manages memory performance by limiting bandwidth to the DIMMs, therefore capping the power consumption and preventing the DIMMs from overheating.

Server Management Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS 4.12 Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository The Integrated BMC implements the logical sensor data record (SDR) repository as specified in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 2.0. The SDR repository is accessible via all communication transports. This way out-of-band interfaces can access SDR repository information evn while the system is down.
Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS Server Management If the condition that caused the original assertion is no longer present at the time the re-arm occurs, then the entire sequence is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Failure condition occurs and Integrated BMC logs an assertion event. Sensor is re-armed. Integrated BMC clears sensor status and generates a de-assertion event. Sensor is put into “Init in progress” state until sensor is polled again or otherwise updated. 5.
Server Management Intel® Server Board S5400SF TPS event state (sensor offset) has been asserted, it remains asserted until one of the following occurs: A Rearm Sensor Events command is executed for that processor status sensor.

Fan tach sensors are manual re-arm sensors, therefore once the lower critical threshold has been crossed, the LED remains lit until the sensor is re-armed. These sensors are re-armed at system DC power-on and system reset. 8.
