Introduction
1.3.2.2 I/O Controller Hub 3 (Intel
®
ICH3-S)
The I/O Controller Hub 3 (ICH3-S) provides the legacy I/O subsystem for E7500 chipset-based
platforms. Additionally, it integrates many advanced I/O functions. The ICH3-S includes the
following features:
• Provides Hub Interface 1.5 Connection to MCH
— 266 MB/s point-to-point connection for ICH3-S with parity protection
— 8-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock, 4X data transfer
— Parallel termination mode for longer trace lengths
— 64-bit inbound addressing, 32-bit outbound addressing
• 2 channel Ultra ATA/100 bus master IDE controller
• 3 Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) USB 1.1 compliant host controllers (capabilities
for six ports)
• I/O APIC
• System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 compliant controller
• Low Pin Count (LPC) interface
• AC '97 Component Specification, Revision 2.2 compliant interface
• PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 compliant interface
• Integrated LAN controller
1.3.2.3 PCI/PCI-X 64-bit Hub 2 (Intel
®
82870P2 P64H2)
The P64H2 provides PCI/PCI-X, high-performance I/O capability including:
• 16-bit, Hub Interface 2.0 Connection to MCH
— 1.066 GB/s point-to-point connection for I/O bridges with ECC protection
— 16-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock, 8X data transfer
— Parallel termination mode for longer trace lengths
— 64-bit inbound addressing, 32-bit outbound addressing
• Two Independent, 64-bit PCI/PCI-X Interfaces
— PCI-X Specification, Revision 1.0a compliant
— PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 compliant
— PCI-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification, Revision 1.1 compliant
— PCI Hot-Plug Specification, Revision 1.1 compliant
— One PCI Hot-Plug Controller (PHPC) per PCI/PCI-X interface
— One IOxAPIC per PCI/PCI-X Interface (16 external, 8 internal interrupts)
— SMBus target for access to all internal PCI registers
