Server Board S5400SF TPS Functional Architecture
Revision 2.02
Intel order number: D92944-007

3.3.4.2 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. This interface is compatible with most I
2
C
devices. Special I
2
C commands are implemented. The SMBus host controller for the I/O
Controller Hub provides a mechanism for the processor to initiate communications with SMBus
peripherals (slaves).
The Intel
®
6321ESB I/O Controller Hub supports slave functionality, including the Host Notify
protocol. The host controller supports eight command protocols of the SMBus interface: Quick
Command, Send Byte, Receive Byte, Write Byte/Word, Read Byte/Word, Process Call, Block
Read/Write, and Host Notify.
See the System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 for more information.
3.3.6 Real-time Clock (RTC)
The Intel
®
6321ESB I/O Controller Hub contains a Motorola* MC146818A-compatible real-time
clock with 256 bytes of battery-backed RAM. The real-time clock performs two key functions:
keeping track of the time of day and storing system data even when the system is powered
down. The RTC operates on a 32.768-KHz crystal and a separate on-board 3-V lithium battery
(Panasonic* 3V CR2032 or equivalent).
The RTC supports two lockable memory ranges. By setting bits in the configuration space, two
8-byte ranges can be locked to read and write accesses. This prevents unauthorized reading of
passwords or other system security information.
3.3.7 General-purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
General-purpose inputs and outputs are provided for custom system designs. The number of
inputs and outputs depends on the Intel
®
6321ESB I/O Controller Hub configuration. All unused
GPI pins must be pulled high or low, so they are at a predefined level and do not cause
problems.
3.4 PCI Subsystem
The primary I/O buses for the server board are PCI Express*. An additional PCI bus segment is
also utilized from the Intel
®
6321ESB I/O Controller Hub to support the on-board video controller.
The MCH utilizes general purpose PCI Express* high-speed ports to achieve superior I/O
performance. The MCH PCI Express* ports are compliant with the PCI Express* Base
Specification, Version 0.9 of Revision 2.0. The raw bit-rate per PCI Express* Gen 1 bit lane is
2.5 Gbit/s. This results in a real bandwidth per Gen 1 bit lane pair of 250 MB/s given the 8/10
encoding used to transmit data across this interface. The result is a maximum theoretical
realized bandwidth on a x4 PCI Express* port of 1 GB/s in each direction. The raw bit-rate per
